About the podcast…
Launched in January 2025, How We Met is a non-narrated podcast that shares real stories of how LGBTQ+ couples fell in love, in their own words. This project aims to serve two purposes: Amplify queer joy and serve as a historical record for queer people’s experiences, across generations, through the lens of love.
