Tuloy lang, mga Bes! We are an international award-winning Filipino podcast by fabulous members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our goal is to normalize and de-stigmatize conversations that Pinoys generally only talk about in secret - mental health problems (like depression and suicide), sex, sexuality and the human body, non-traditional relationships, among others. "Balut" is a Filipino delicacy consisting of a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. So, we aim to make our episodes nutritious though they are not for the faint of heart. While "kiki" is queer slang for a gathering among friends. Kaya we throw in discussions about queer  culture and interests - because why not, diba? We are uniquely PINOY. We are unapologetically QUEER. Join your hosts Mel, Geoff, Nealle together with Peter, Morey, Choi, and a bevy of other Bessies!  Winner, BEST PODCAST HOST, 1st Asia Podcast Festival Awards, Singapore. We are a proud member of Bunk Collective.

    Bes, ang coverage ng discussion natin sa project na ito ay may kinalaman sa napipintong "battle royale" sa Miss Universe Philippines 2024. At kahit pinalalambot pa ang matigas na karne, eh maraming nang gigil at gutom sa mga patikim ng org at gerlies!

    Kasama natin as usual si Bes CJ ng KoronaFilipina at nag try kami sagutin ang enumeration ng mga candidates na nagpagalaw ng baso sa recent sashing and presentation ceremony, at may pa-essay din kung bakit magulo pa din sa unibars ni Auntie. Tara nang mag-group study!

    Click play na, Bes para hindi mangamote sa final exam na gaganapin sa Mayo. At tignan mo na din kung agree ka ba sa mga answers namin sa pa-quiz na ito. Chariz!

Worth every minute

Relevant. Current. No nonsense. Sensitive. Risqué. Funny. Engaging. Relatable. Provocative. Supportive. Informative.

I learn and I laugh each time I listen. I love it!!!

Amazingly courageous podcast

I absolutely love this podcast. They’re very brave in discussing difficult topics like mental health and sexuality with honesty. Coming from a conservative country and society, sometimes these topics are swept under the rug. Well this podcast looks under the rug, pulls that dirty little secret out that we try to hide away and talks about it openly. Time to click play and join this kiki!

RLNBV ,

Superb!

It’s just like listening to my friends when we all get together and open a bottle of wine!
