    The R&B Rundown Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 14

    Is R&B really dead, or has the genre simply evolved? This week, Micah B and Dupree are joined by guest host Michael Anthony for a full celebration of R&B music, culture, and the artists who continue to shape it. The conversation covers Lauryn Hill’s legacy, Frank Ocean’s Blonde, Usher’s recent music, the artists carrying modern R&B forward, and why so many listeners believe the genre has lost its way. The crew also plays R&B This or That, builds the ultimate bedroom playlist, highlights underrated artists who deserve more attention, and reveals their personal Mount Rushmore of R&B albums. From ’90s classics and 2000s favorites to today’s new generation, this episode is for anyone who has ever debated the greatest R&B artists, albums, songs, and eras.

    The Community Check-In Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 13

    This week, Micah B, Dupree, and Justin take a step back after another Pride season to ask one important question: What happens after Pride? The conversation begins with a Letter From the Pushers that revisits the ongoing debate around Pride, sexuality, and respectability politics. The hosts reflect on the backlash from a previous conversation and explore why Pride can celebrate sexual freedom while remaining rooted in protest, visibility, advocacy, and community care. From there, the crew checks in on the state of the Black LGBTQ+ community. They discuss supporting Black queer artists beyond Pride Month, the responsibility of creators and organizations, the impact of reality television and media exploitation, and why civic engagement, voting, and year-round community building matter just as much as showing up to Pride. The episode also celebrates Black queer joy, entrepreneurship, local organizers, and the people creating meaningful spaces for our community every day. Honest, reflective, and rooted in love, this conversation is a reminder that Pride doesn’t end on June 30. The work, the joy, and the community continue all year long. ⸻ Executive Producer Micah Butler Producer Justin B.

    The Hot Seat Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 12

    This week, Justin B. Smith, AP, and Dupree are in the hot seat, and nothing is off limits. Presented by Jack’d, the crew kicks off Pride season with a conversation about dating apps, Pride weekends, friendship, relationships, self-sabotage, attraction, masculinity, and the lessons they’ve learned while navigating life as Black queer men. From building the perfect Black Pride starter pack to discussing what catches their attention on dating apps, the conversation quickly turns into something deeper. The hosts open up about friendship evaluations, showing up for the people you love, the realities of dating, and the ways ego, fear, and past experiences can get in the way of meaningful connections. They also tackle bigger conversations around the Black gay community, respectability politics, anti-femininity, dating preferences, activism, and the responsibility we have to show up for one another. Funny, vulnerable, messy, and surprisingly heartfelt, this episode reminds us that sometimes the hottest conversations happen when you’re willing to be honest. Special thanks to our sponsor, Jack’d.

    The Pride & Joy Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 11

    This week, Micah B, AP, and Dupree celebrate Pride Month with a conversation about joy, community, chosen family, and what Pride really means beyond the stereotypes. After a listener asks whether Pride has become too focused on sex, the crew gets into respectability politics, queer liberation, and why Pride has always been about much more than parties and hookups. They discuss the freedom that comes with living authentically, the importance of finding community, and the moments that make Pride feel meaningful beyond the nightlife. The conversation also explores chosen family, coming out, navigating relationships with parents and siblings, Black queer representation, and the responsibility we all have to protect our joy while uplifting one another. Funny, heartfelt, and affirming, this is a reminder that Pride is about more than celebration. It’s about community, resistance, visibility, and joy. ⸻ Executive Producer Micah Butler ⸻ Shop TRXDE Apparel https://trxdeapparel.com Use promo code BLACKGAYAGENDA for 10% off your order. ⸻ Watch our latest Another Conversation interview with Keiynan Lonsdale https://youtu.be/JicS6Au_-0M?si=71VNpNuPAS20d3TQ ⸻ Follow The Black Gay Agenda https://instagram.com/theblackgayagenda Follow the Hosts Micah https://instagram.com/itsmicahb AP https://www.instagram.com/whereisalexpin Dupree https://www.instagram.com/dupreetheartist

    The Wildcard Agenda Pt. 3 | SZN 4 Episode 10

    This week, Micah B, AP, and Dupree close out the midseason with another Wildcard episode, where every topic is on the table and the conversation can go literally anywhere. The episode opens with conversations around internet outrage, fan loyalty, and whether audiences actually allow artists to grow. From Chris Brown and Tyler Perry to Teyana Taylor and award season discourse, the crew gets into why certain celebrities receive endless criticism while others are protected no matter what. From there, the conversation gets even messier. The crew debates petty behavior versus justified reactions, dating age gaps, sugar daddy stories, financial struggles as creatives, and the emotional reality of trying to grow while still carrying other people with you. They also get into the pressure Black creatives face online, why Black audiences sometimes struggle to give grace to Black artists, and the difference between accountability and performative hate. Funny, shady, reflective, chaotic, and unexpectedly deep, this is The Black Gay Agenda exactly the way the Pushers love it. ⸻ Executive Producer Micah Butler Producer Justin B.

    The Talk Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 9

    This week, Micah B, AP, and Dupree get into the conversations many Black queer people wish they had growing up. The episode opens with a Twitter Talk centered around the viral Vinny Watson and V12 Lounge controversy, and the internet debate around leadership, humiliation, respectability, and why Black queer people often receive harsher criticism online. From there, the conversation turns deeper. The crew unpacks the talks they never had around sex, religion, masculinity, fear, coming out, financial struggles, and what it looks like trying to figure yourself out while also undoing everything you were taught. They also get real about rejection, chasing dreams, emotional survival, and creating the kinds of safe spaces they wish existed when they were younger. Funny, vulnerable, messy, and honest, this is one of the realest conversations of the season. ⸻ Follow The Black Gay Agenda https://instagram.com/theblackgayagenda Follow the Hosts Micah https://instagram.com/itsmicahb AP https://www.instagram.com/whereisalexpin Dupree https://www.instagram.com/dupreetheartist

    The Be Honest Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 8

    This week, it’s Micah B, AP, and Dupree getting real… like actually real. We kick things off with The Quickie and set the tone early, because this episode is all about honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable. From there, the conversation opens up with a series of “be honest” questions that push everything to the surface. From dating habits to communication issues, the crew gets into the ways we show up in relationships… and the ways we avoid saying what really needs to be said. We get into: • Staying in situations out of comfort vs actually liking someone • Avoiding honesty to protect people’s feelings • Treating people like options while acting like they’re more • Knowing when you’re being inconsistent or emotionally unavailable • And recognizing when you are the problem The conversation also shifts into friendships, accountability, and the things we peep but don’t always say out loud. From riding the fence to calling out patterns, the question becomes… are you really being honest with the people in your life? Then things turn a little messier. We get into sex, attraction, and the double standards we all participate in… from overlooking red flags because someone looks good to doubling back when the sex is just that good. In the final stretch, the crew reflects on themselves. From communication habits to family relationships, finances, and personal growth, this episode forces one question… what are you avoiding being honest about in your own life? This one is funny, messy, and a little too real. ⸻ Follow The Black Gay Agenda https://instagram.com/theblackgayagenda Follow the Hosts Micah https://instagram.com/itsmicahb AP https://www.instagram.com/whereisalexpin Dupree https://www.instagram.com/dupreetheartist
