Our Community
Independent voices. One proud community.
Pride48 is a home for LGBTQ+ podcasters and listeners to connect through live broadcasts, podcasts, community spaces, and events.
What We Do
Built for connection
LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ-friendly podcasters and listeners come together through our chatroom, website, podcasts, and annual events. We offer resources for podcasters and advocate for voices from across our community.
Vibrant Community
Podcasting is not a competition here. Our podcasters support one another, share audiences, learn together, and gather for live broadcasts and community events.
Podcast Advocacy
We believe every LGBTQ+ voice deserves the opportunity to be heard. We help new podcasters with technical questions, equipment, services, and practical advice.
Our Story
History
Pride48 began when cofounders Daniel Brewer and Adam Burns became friends while each was streaming an individual podcast live. One late-night conversation led them to combine their separate streaming services and build something larger for the LGBTQ+ podcasting community.
Adam had long wanted to create an online talk-radio station, while Daniel wanted more podcasts to stream live and interact directly with their audiences. Together, those ideas became Pride48.
Together in Person
Live Expo
After two years of at-home events, the community gathered in person at the Luxor in Las Vegas in August 2011. More than 40 participants broadcast from a banquet room high in the pyramid—soon affectionately known as the “Old Abandoned Studio.”
The event grew to more than 100 participants, with weekends of live broadcasting and community activities. Its success came from the dedication of many volunteers and “suits,” including Joey Buchecker, Lurry Dean, Big Fatty, Nessa, Arthur (Amerinz), Donna Suggarz, and many more community members.
The Expo has since moved to New Orleans, where Pride48 continues finding new ways to make the gathering special for every attendee.
The future is more voices, more connection, and more fun.
We want to keep expanding the Pride48 family, continue our live at-home and in-person events, improve the technology behind our broadcasts, and preserve the feeling of community that has always defined Pride48.
