Jake Wesley Rogers joins Ben, Ryan, and Yvie for a heartfelt conversation about music, identity, and faith. He opens up about his Crohn’s diagnosis, nearly quitting music, and the emotional journey behind his new album In the Key of Love. Ryan and Jake dive deep into reclaiming religion, queer visibility in pop, and why straight men in dresses still get all the credit. Plus, Yvie recounts a nearly explosive PR gift from MrBeast, and the hosts reflect on how queerness, art, and community collide.

RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Yvie Oddly and culture critic Ryan Mitchell host HIGHKEY! — a boldly queer LGBTQ+ podcast where pop culture, chaos, and surprisingly real conversations collide.

It’s like being a fly on the wall for the most unhinged, hilarious, and heartfelt side convo at the party — with past guests like Laverne Cox, Rico Nasty, Bob the Drag Queen, and Lena Waithe, and more queer icons on the way.

Welcome to the party — BYOB, pull up a chair, and settle in because this one’s just getting started.
