upon first listen, the listener is enthralled without warning into a john waters ryan trecartin collaboration in audio form. charming cohosts alex and kev dare to ask the listeners “how was your day? ‘WHAT?’” and lead in honest discussions about trade and the complexities of being young, gay latinos. the soundboard works as a third cohost with various references to gay pop culture individualizes the podcast. with music segments and segues ranging from charli xcx, kylie, janet, and madonna to blithe q&a’s, they bring you into their late night parking lot hot box with your gay friends who force you to watch lady gaga music videos and try to explain the loonaverse to you. radio silence is far from an issue, yet you feel like you’re a part of the conversation. and despite its premise, there’s a safe space for prudes and heterosexuals alike. it’s art. it’s revolutionary. an unexplored world of podcasting and a side of the queer community that needs to be represented in media. a midnight movie about twitter oomfs who communicate in alyssa edwards gifs and tokyo toni reaction videos. i’m obsessed *soundboard smash* :*
