"The Queer Mecca" w/ Mariah Hanson
Listen now
Description
We're counting down the weeks until we can wish folks a "Happy Dinah" IRL in Palm Springs. And to get us even more pumped for the occasion, we're dyking out with the founder of the largest lesbian event in the world, Mariah Hanson! So how did Mariah go from getting all parties banned on her college campus to putting on a queer music festival in the desert? What are the challenges in keeping the event focused on queer women while also being inclusive to all genders and identities? What keeps the celesbians coming back year after year? We cover all of this, and more. And by more we mean bees. There's a healthy amount of bee discourse. Plus, Carolyn and Melody obsess over the new A League of Their Own series.
