Podcast Description
HIGHKEY! is the culture podcast from iHeartPodcasts where nothing’s off-limits, and everything’s on the table — a joyful, unfiltered conversation with your smartest and funniest friends. It’s where pop culture clashes with politics, identity sparks deep dives, and internet absurdity finally gets the spotlight it deserves.
Every week, the show delivers Brains, Banter, and a Bit of Drama, blending sharp, surprising interviews with big idea conversations. Hosted by political strategist and Oscar-shortlisted producer Ben O’Keefe, cultural critic Ryan Mitchell, and drag superstar Yvie Oddly (RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 winner), the trio arrive ready to stir the pot — cutting through the noise, challenging the status quo, and leaning into the unpredictable, beautiful mess that makes culture culture.

Conflict, activism, and accountability collide when Yvie opens up about a near fallout with Nicole Byer — and how they both chose grace over beef. Then, our hosts break down protest culture, performative activism, cancel culture, and the complicated balance between standing up for what’s right while maintaining friendships. From LA protests to miscommunication, public call-outs, and how to actually apologize, the crew dives deep into navigating conflict without losing connection. Plus, high-key obsessions this week include Love Island USA, gender-affirming haircuts, and Miley Cyrus’ new album.
