The Deal Springs into Spring 2012

The Deal is Here Media's fast-moving talk special built to catch the culture as it turns, and this edition takes on the season of renewal with a look at the hottest topics and trends of spring 2012. Directed by Michael Dubin, the program gathers a panel of media voices, including Out magazine editor Aaron Hicklin, writer and musician Norman Brannon, Jerry Portwood and Sveta Bout, along with adult-film performer and author Kayden Kross, for conversation that ranges across fashion, entertainment, style and the news of the day from a distinctly queer point of view. The format is loose and lively, more cocktail-party crosstalk than formal debate, and the pleasure lies in watching sharp people react in real time to what is new and what is over. A time capsule of one spring in LGBTQ+ pop culture, delivered with the wit and confidence that marked Here Media's magazine-style programming.
