Hello, and welcome to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast! Today, I’m chatting with Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren.
The duo have won an Emmy, Peabody Award, Television Academy Honor and three GLAAD Awards as creators and executive producers of the HBO docuseries We’re Here, whose fourth season premiered April 26.
Season 4 follows renowned drag queens Sasha Velour, Priyanka, Jaida Essence Hall and Latrice Royale as they continue the show’s mission of spreading love and connection through the art of drag across small-town America. This season, the queens work with participants in Murfreesboro, TN, and Tulsa, OK, and surrounding towns and take an in-depth, immersive look at recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and the effect it has had on the community.

The show is streaming on Max.
