A PRIDE Playlist
I curated a playlist to celebrate PRIDE Month and wrote an accompanying feature, highlighting idobi’s queer staff and listeners to ensure the company’s audience felt seen and heard. The playlist trended on the site and got a lot of love from the featured artists and the idobi audience.
PRIDE Month is about celebrating your truest self. But with increasing frequency we have seen the rights that were fought for by those heroes who lead the way—and those who continue to march in their footsteps—eroded and under attack. Which means that this year, we must fight even harder but also love a little deeper, reach out to one another, and make our voices that much louder. Because the human right to love who we love, to be authentically ourselves, and to take PRIDE in that is why we fly our rainbow flags high.
So if you’re looking for a reason to keep marching, or you need a soundtrack to take to the streets & the polls, or you just want to jump for joy as you celebrate YOU, turn this playlist up. idobi is spotlighting some of the LGBTQIA+ artists who are sparking hope, change, and serving up fire anthems every day of the year. We chose the title to celebrate folks like our founder Tom Cheney, our host Jess Bowen, and everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community who shows us how to stand up and love in truth. Thank you for coming out!
