The Legend of Freddie Mercury: Queens Podcast Chronicles
Welcome back to the next episode of our June Pride Month party. Today, we're taking you back to 2018, when we discussed the one and only Freddie Mercury, darling.
This episode's all about Freddie's start in the world, his school days, and that little band you may have heard of, Queen. We chat about his larger-than-life persona on stage, the people he loved, his journey with his identity and his fight against AIDS. We'll take you on Queen's trip to stardom, performances that shook the globe like Live Aid, and how they changed pop culture forever. We end with a shout-out to Freddie's never-ending echo in the music universe.
