Vulture Presents: StraightioLab Presents: What Is Podcasting?: A Conversation
Saturday 11.12
6:00 p.m.
Founded in 2020 in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, Straightiolab has since become a name synonymous with podcasting. What started as a comedy podcast in which gay comedians Sam Taggart and George Civeris discuss elements of straight culture has grown to be a weekly source of news and comfort for a nation in transition. In this enlightening, illuminating, and well-lit discussion, the men behind the mics finally open up about their status as titans of the industry, answering questions like: Are podcasts more educational than universities? Is audio storytelling the new cinema and, if so, should you be able to win an Oscar for it? And where is there to go when you're already on top? The conversation will be moderated by veteran journalist and former comedian (insert name here). Content warning: This discussion is only appropriate for people with intellectual rigor.
