Spencer Macnaughton joins Daniel W.K. Lee and Kate d'Adamo to talk about his journey from mainstream media to founding Uncloseted Media. He shares how years of reporting on extremism and anti-LGBTQ groups exposed the urgent need for deeper, more rigorous queer storytelling.
The conversation explores media fragmentation, journalistic standards, representation, and the responsibility to tell complicated stories with nuance and evidence. Spencer also opens up about his queer journey, the people who inspire him, and why believing in yourself can be the first step toward building something new.
