    34- Rest In Peace?

    34- Rest In Peace?

    One wet, cold, snowy night, my boyfriend, a good friend and I were having cozy winter cocktails, when the subject on people posting tributes of deceased friends to social media but not disclosing the cause of death came up in conversation. This sparked a three sided debate... I say, if you’re gonna post it, you owe us the details. My boyfriend thinks that that’s private and it needs to be respected. Our friend thinks, a bit of both needs to happen. While we shouldn’t ASSUME, the truth is, drug related deaths have been steadily on the rise for some time now. We’ve all seen friends or friends-of dying of drug related reasons and yet, I feel like everyone is too afraid to discuss it (hence the cause of death remaining unmentioned). Ultimately, if we want to see less drug related deaths, then the conversation around drug use needs to change... Anyway, did y’all miss me?

    33- We Found Hope In A Homeless Place

    33- We Found Hope In A Homeless Place

    We welcome Mikey - the founder of OUT MY CLOSET - a successful non profit organization created to provide resources to homeless LGBT+ youth. Not only to we talk about this amazing organization and how it all started, we also talk about partying and nightlife (where I nitpick the hell out of the NYC gay scene) the difference between NYC gays and the MIA gays, how Mikey and I have been subjects of unfair treatment at a popular Miami gay club, the gross power that is "white privilege", and way too many other things to list. At the end of the day, we just want everyone to be kinder to each other. WHY IS THIS SUCH A DIFFICULT ASK?!

    32- "He Took Me To My First Gay Club" A Lost Spaces + YAAAS BRO special

    32- "He Took Me To My First Gay Club" A Lost Spaces + YAAAS BRO special

    I had the pleasure of being interviewed by K, host of ‘Lost Spaces’ - a podcast about lost queer venues and the impact they had on the people who drank, danced and loved within them… In this episode/therapy session, I unpack a lot of memories from my early days in the club scene where my at the time boyfriend would drag me to Diskotekka (my first gay club), and how it shaped me to be the gay I am today. Anyone remember those chaotic, 18+ nights? Looking back at this period in my life, I was terrified of setting foot in a gay club; After years of suppressing and hiding my gayness, it was difficult to shake that fear of openly participating in gay activities (the self-loathing and internalized homophobia were too real). I spilled a lot more than I wanted to in this episode, and I have to say, it’s a masterpiece. Thank you K for having me! And be sure to check out @LostSpaces the podcast!

    30- Stop 'Monkeypoxing' Around

    Seems like every time there’s a new virus going around, everyone suddenly becomes an expert on infectious diseases. Lucky for y'all, by tuning in to this episode, you'll get to listen to one. Yes - a real one. We welcome Paloma Pimentel, an Infectional Preventionist at a community hospital in Miami, Fl.

This episode is loaded with information on: How monkeypox is NOT exclusively sexually transmitted, why 99% of reported monkeypox cases are all from homosexual men, how to reduce your chances of getting monkeypox, knowing the right way to get tested for monkeypox, important things to keep in mind when seeking treatment if you get infected, the importance of getting vaccinated and SOOOO much more.

    29- Over the Rainbow? Pt 2

    29- Over the Rainbow? Pt 2

    We welcome back my boyfriend Dan, who was on a few episodes ago where we discussed why pride branding matters. As promised, we revisit pride month and talk about some of our favorite moments in rainbow capitalism and why they were AMAZINGGG. We also talk about some pride month fails where we call out a few things that could've been done JUST A LITTLE BETTER, and the hypocrisy & double standards that the gays are guilty of when engaging with certain brands that don’t always have the interests of the LGBTQ+ community in mind. Understanding these campaigns and the way that the world of advertising works helps us become more savvy consumers, advocates, allies, etc. The world we live in is changing, and so is our political climate and whether we like this shit or not, understanding the positive impact of pride branding is V important for our community.

Yaaaaaaaas

Jonathan, his POV and his guests are right in the zone for what’s happening in our gay world and what to think about it. He’s a great host and (in my opinion) a great age for stepping into this role - old enough to begin to know who he is but still curious about what he hasn’t experienced - and so his shows feel topical and in real time. And his sense of humor drives it all, so you’re in good hands. I feel like he’s just getting started.
