You might’ve surmised by the show title that its host and creator, Lauren Abedini (aka KITTENS), is a cat person—or as she puts it, someone who “loves cats a bit too much.” [Ed. note: That’s not possible.] But that, of course, merely paws at the surface of “SHE/HER/THEY.”
“I’m half Persian and full gay,” says KITTENS, whose podcast features conversations with people who transcend identity expectations. “The main focus starting off was to chat with LGBTQ+ women, femme, and nonbinary musicians/artists—and it’s expanded to include guests who are entrepreneurs, creatives across all media, actors, or just trailblazers in their respective professions.”
We caught up with the DJ and producer about recording her show via Zoom, her social media-promotion strategy, why Ashley Graham’s “Pretty Big Deal” inspires her, and much more!
