Pillars of Change Media has unveiled a new immersive travel and culture vodcast titled Pride This Way, aimed at enriching the experience of global travellers. Hosted by prominent UK Pride icon Soraya Vivian, the vodcast promises to explore the multifaceted nature of Pride celebrations around the world, moving beyond the surface of parades to delve into the stories and resilience that define the LGBTQ+ community.
Set to launch on January 29, 2026, Pride This Way is described as the first vodcast-podcast hybrid dedicated to global Pride events. Soraya, who has enjoyed years of VIP access to various Pride celebrations, aims to share both the vibrant moments and the underlying challenges faced by the community. “We’re going a lot deeper than just parades with Pride This Way,” Soraya states. “You’ll meet the fam, the history, and the sheer strength that ties us together. Every episode doesn’t just throw you into the noise and colour—it shows you the heart underneath all that sparkle.”
Exploring Global Pride
The inaugural season of Pride This Way features a dynamic schedule of broadcasts highlighting diverse Pride events from around the globe. Each episode will showcase the unique experiences of local LGBTQ+ communities, emphasizing their struggles and triumphs. Soraya’s commitment to authenticity seeks to foster a deeper understanding of what Pride truly represents.
In a statement about the vodcast, Horlock House founder remarked, “I founded Horlock House to bring together brands, talent, and festivals that actively support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. We are committed to authenticity and driving positive awareness. This partnership allows us to scale our global advocacy, turning immersive storytelling into tangible support for all communities.”
The vodcast aims not only to entertain but also to educate listeners about the historical and cultural significance of Pride, creating a platform for voices that go unheard. Soraya’s expertise and passion for the LGBTQ+ cause position Pride This Way as an essential resource for individuals looking to engage with Pride in a more meaningful way.
As anticipation builds for the launch, the vodcast is expected to resonate with audiences seeking both joy and insight into the diverse expressions of Pride worldwide. By combining travel with storytelling, Pride This Way aspires to inspire a global movement of acceptance and understanding, celebrating the rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ experiences.
