    Guest Spotlight: LGBT Kink with Klit Osiris

    For this installment of Pride, we are chatting with Klit Osiris, a Switzerland born, London based musician and visual artist/designer. His eccentric style stems for his love of kink and BDSM, as seen in the music video for "Interlopes," featuring Yougo Girl. We dive into the intricacies of his work, how kink plays a crucial role in his life, coming out (more than once!), and using your talents to evolve your art. We will also discover together what Pride means to Klit. This episode is NSFW, so be prepared for a conversation on fetish, exhibitionism, and the seedy underground. We're having fun here!
