Hey y’all! Jasmin Savoy Brown here.
You may know me from the TV series “Yellowjackets” or the horror franchise “Scream.” I love playing gay characters, but I love BEING gay even more. My favorite thing about being gay? Our community. We are so joyful and vibrant, even when we shouldn't have to be — like, for example, while consuming the news.
In 2021, I realized there wasn’t a queer version of a daily news podcast that gays could listen to while they get ready for a day of being gay. When I met Nay Bever (Shudder’s “Queer For Fear”), I realized she was the perfect person to bring this podcast to life. Over the next three years, we spent countless FaceTimes drinking coffee and cooking up our dream show—which brings us to you now.
TODAY IN GAY is your one stop shop for gay news — especially good gay news — available Monday through Friday everywhere you get your podcasts.
We’ve found some amazing people along the way to bring this show to life. Hosting alongside Nay Bever is Associate Producer Vico Ortiz. Lauren Klein joined as Executive Producer, Editor, and Composer. Jax Ko is our Co-Producer and Creative Director. Maritza Navarro is our Supervising Producer. Linh Nguyen is our Co-Producer. Andrés Pacheco Girón is our Researcher and Associate Producer. We are all proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and we’re all here to make your day a little more gay.
We’ve also partnered with Substack: they understand the value of an entirely queer team creating an entirely queer show for the entire queer community. Here, you’ll find a safe place to engage with other listeners, plus exclusive bonus content and community chats. We hope you’ll join us and stay tuned for more!
You can connect with us across social platforms @todayingaypod and with #goodgaynews. Leave us a voicemail and you may just hear your good gay news on the pod. +1 (551) 333-5247
We can't wait to celebrate your good gay news.
