125 episodes

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, Kenny, 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.

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!

Superb!

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