Episode 4 — Gaysian Erotica
In this episode, Non, Jae, and Ricky discuss Gay Asian Erotica, ranging from BL, Yaoi, Bara, to contemporary literatures, and go in-depth to how these eroticas have shaped our queer canon. Who knows, maybe the listeners may also go into the depths of the internet to find our recommendations. IYKYK.

Episode 3 — Superstitions and other things we stupidly believe
It’s not Halloween but us three gaysians can still get easily creeped out - but who can blame them when they have been hearing all the superstitious sayings growing up!
From the curse of peeing in the woods, to the curse of seaweed soups. Dare us to pick between failing an exam or marrying a bearded man - just don’t press the 4th floor on the elevator.

Episode 2 — Let's talk about mental health
This week gaysians get vulnerable and share our experiences of our various mental health journeys - including depression diagnosis, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, Autism, and PTSD. Their struggle to get their immigrant families to believe in the diagnosis and how they cope as adults. A week where we mix an alphabet soup within an alphabet soup - converging that neurodivergence.
Disclaimer: we are not mental health professionals. We are just three comedians sharing our stories about what we dealt with.
