PrideCast Episode 3: LGBTQ+ Wellness

Our first episode as a standalone podcast, but number 3 overall.

Today, Egan and Aleksa talk with key members of Seattle's LGBTQ+ wellness brigade, including Dr. Peter Shalit--in practice here since 1990--and Gottesman, a licensed mental health therapist at Seattle Counseling Service. Both highlight the contours of LGBTQ+ wellness during this difficult time and offer tips on how to navigate both your physical and mental health care.

They talk with Seattle Pride Executive Director Krystal Marx about the postponement of Seattle's Pride events in June and what a "virtual pride" will look like. They also chat with artist Kaleb Dameron of the BeautyBoiz about moving his performance group's performances to virtual and what they have planned for Pride this year.

PrideCast Episode 1: Youth!

(PrideCast takeover of A Light in the Dark podcast)
Today, Egan is joined by hostess and celebrity drag queen Aleksa Manila for the beginning of their every-Sunday-special-series "PrideCast" featuring all things good in the LGBTQ+ world. Egan and Aleksa take a deep dive into Easter and Passover and the stories from those holy days might relate to the current pandemic and resulting isolation. Then, with a focus on how the youth will lead the LGBTQ+ world and beyond, they welcome musician Xander Corbett (who made his debut on the PrideFest main stage last year) and influencer Ve'ondre Mitchell (and Mom Teva), who through her hundreds of thousands of followers and fans is changing the world for young trans people.
