There is no other programming on the radio dial that reaches the LGBT community in New York City,” says Clay. “It’s going to be a late night extravaganza! I’m bringing my own brand of commentary and everyone is welcomed to join in: gay, straight, bi, lesbian, trans, undecided – this is a no judgment zone. We’ll have celebrity guests, a dose of politics and cover all things pop culture.”
Clay is a graduate of Rutgers University, Phi Beta Kappa, with a B.A. in English and African-American Studies. Clay has contributed to numerous publications such as The Root, theGrio, AOL, HX Magazine, Instinct Magazine and The Advocate. He has interviewed various celebrities, including Beyoncé Knowles, RuPaul, Nicki Minaj and Hilary Swank.
