About this listen

In the first episode of Cue Me, host Jonathan shares the moment that inspired the creation of the podcast. Reflecting on an unexpected experience watching a marathon of The Real World: San Francisco, he tells the story of seeing Pedro Zamora, a proud, openly gay Cuban American living with HIV, on television for the first time at age 11. What begins as a moment of recognition becomes more layered, as joy and fear sit side by side. Jonathan unpacks how Pedro’s visibility shaped his early understanding of queerness, pride, and the risks that can come with being seen. This episode sets the foundation for the series. It introduces Cue Me not just as a podcast, but as a space where stories can live fully. It honors the quiet power of media to shift how we see ourselves and opens the door for more voices to follow.
