‘Yellowjackets’ Star Jasmin Savoy Brown Launches New Podcast ‘Today in Gay’

variety.com:

Lauren Coates “Yellowjackets” and “Scream” star Jasmin Savoy Brown has a new podcast, titled “Today in Gay.” Described as a “short, joyful daily news podcast by and for the queer community,” Brown came up with the show three years ago when she realized there’s no queer equivalent to NPR’s “Up First” or the NY Times’ “The Headlines.” Though Brown serves as creator, the podcast will be hosted by Nay Bever, “Our Flag Means Death” star Vico Ortiz and Bex-Taylor Klaus.

Bever and Brown will produce the podcast alongside editor and theme song-composer Lauren Klein, with research by Hannah Nobrega and illustrations by Jax Ko.

All members of the “Today in Gay” production team identify as members of the queer community. “Today in Gay” is fully-funded by Brown, who says everyone will be paid the same — from host to graphic designer, everyone working on the podcast will make $50/hr.

The show will launch everywhere on Jan. 1, but early Substack subscribers can start listening on Dec. 30 and can lock in a price of $6/month (or $60/year) for access to weekly bonus episodes and safe community chats.
