All-Star Panel Takes the Main Stage
The main stage on March 8 is not finished yet, as we're thrilled to host a panel of media creators that features moderator Sarah Burke (EIC of Conde Nast's THEM) and panelists Lance Bass, Bridget Todd, Carmen Laurent, and Dr. Jonathan Higgins, to discuss their approaches to creating podcasts for a new generation of LGBTQ+ audiences, and to announce an all-new project that they're all a part of.
