Say it With Pride

For our season finale, we’re pulling back the curtains, the wigs, and the tape. Drag icons Victoria Secret and Naomi Diamond sit down for a hilarious, unfiltered look at what it actually takes to survive the modern drag industry. In this episode, the queens swap chaotic personal stories about navigating their sexualities, coming out and their stories of how they got into drag. They dive deep into the genuine highs and lows of the trade, balancing the pure euphoria of a roaring nightlife crowd with the unglamorous, exhausting grind of keeping local queer spaces alive on the ground. They discuss the massive shift from traditional drag stages to the modern digital landscape, the reasons behind why you need to follow the queens and their opinions on the over-saturation of drag due to shows such as drag race.Thank you so much for listening, watching, and sharing the space with us this season!Watch all episodes of Say It With Pride on the Onic Original YouTube channel, or stream the audio on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Instagram: @pridevibesradio

Olympian Jack Woolley and Irish sports legend Lindsay Peat sit down to get completely honest about the reality of being an LGBTQ+ athlete in Ireland. They open up about their very different journeys to coming out. Jack navigating the spotlight as openly gay from the start of his elite career, compared to Lindsay’s experience coming out later in life while playing in high-pressure team sports. Not holding back on the uglier side of the industry, like dealing with casual homophobia, toxic comments from the sidelines, and the heavy stigma that still hangs over sexuality in sport male vs female sports.

Welcome to Say It With Pride, this episode we are stepping inside the entertainment industry to look at how the Irish media and theatre landscapes have shifted over the decades. Mainstream radio broadcaster Sean Munsanje sits down with veteran stage actor and iconic Gaiety Panto Dame Joe Conlan, contrasting the realities of navigating the media world versus commanding the center stage under the spotlight.Together, Sean and Joe dive into an honest, intergenerational conversation about visibility, representation, and the realities of being an openly queer public figure in Ireland. Despite coming from different eras, they discover unexpected parallels in their journeys from navigating their respective workplaces to the heavy weight of navigating family dynamics, a theme that beautifully anchors their conversation. 

Moving from elite sport and mainstream media to activism, Gaeilge, and Dublin nightlife, this four-part Onic original series looks at how different the queer experience can be depending on the world you live and work in. By showing how others navigate these spaces, it offers a glimpse into these lives that might just give someone else the confidence to live openly and tell their own story. The first episode launches Thursday 4th June 2026 on all podcast platforms.
