PrideCast
Born during the pandemic to create a space for LGBTQIA+ folks in Seattle to gather, the PrideCast continues even as we get back to in-person events. PrideFest is an arts and cultural non-profit that does advocacy and our PrideCast guests and content reflect that. Hosted by Seattle PrideFest Executive Director Egan Orion.
