(HOUSTON, April 21, 2026)—Pillars of Change Media is bringing its groundbreaking new podcast Pride This Way—an immersive travel and culture vodcast unlike anything in the LGBTQ+ media space—to audiences worldwide. Instead of a single host, Pride This Way deploys a rotating roster of City Ambassadors who live and shape the Pride culture in their own cities to guide audiences through celebrations across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and beyond.

The distinction matters. While mainstream travel content mines Pride for spectacle, Pride This Way mines it for truth—documenting what Pride costs its community—alongside the joy, backstage access and unfiltered moments that only a true insider can deliver. Each episode is anchored by a Pride Community Ambassador with invaluable context, making every broadcast feel less like a travel show and more like a direct transmission from the movement itself.

“Queer media shouldn’t have to choose between joy and justice,” said Heather J. Taylor, Houston resident and founder and executive producer of Pillars of Change. “With Pride This Way and every pillared project we greenlight, our goal is to show both—the realness and the solution—and to make sure our storytelling puts something tangible back into the communities we cover.”

Taylor’s vision goes deeper than content strategy. Pillars of Change Media integrates philanthropy directly into its business model, converting audience growth into real resources for nonprofits aligned with the causes each podcast serves. The giving is intentional and specific: the right show directs support to the right organizations, ensuring that every dollar follows the story. As Pride This Way scales globally, so does its capacity for giving. It’s a model that remains virtually nonexistent in podcasting, and it positions the show as infrastructure for the movement rather than merely content about it.

Produced in partnership with Jack Horlock of UK-based creative agency Horlock House, the 2026 season of Pride This Way serves a fierce global broadcast schedule in North America and Western Europe. From a low-key kiki behind closed doors to a million people shaking the bricks, every episode captures both the glitter and the grit.

“I’ve spent my career writing about loss, love, and the systems that shape both,” said Tré Miller Rodríguez, co-producer of Pride This Way and author of Splitting the Difference: A Heart-Shaped Memoir. “When Heather told me that she was building—platform that hands the microphone to the community and then actually reinvests in it—I didn’t hesitate. That’s not just good media. That’s the kind of infrastructure that transforms which stories get told and who gets to tell them.”
