Episode 223 ~ Parents of BL and the birth of LTBL

This week we're throwing some love to all of the moms, dads, and grandmas that make BL great. Pete's dad (Dark Blue Kiss), Thun's mom (He's Coming To Me), and so many more. We're also reminiscing about the birth of Let's Talk BL - we've officially been on the air for one whole year! From our favorite interviews to some of our silliest behind the scenes moments. We, of course, couldn't forget the real life moms and dads of our favorite BL boys (shout out to Elijah Canlas' mom, who is a LTBL favor...

Series Sunday ~ Dear Doctor I'm Coming For Soul

Talk about risking death for love. Dear Doctor I'm Coming For Soul has, in our professional (sometimes) opinion, cemented itself as the best supernatural BL series made. Dr. Prakan, Tua Phee, and of course Kheeta (aka a soul reaper...with a hat) make us feel all of the feelings and we're talking about every single one. From all of the death, to the soap opera level dramatics, this is an A+ watch. It has everything - including a realistic conversation about what it means to have a boyfriend who i...

We hope you love sweet as sugar relationships, intense cocktail opinions, and top-notch friendships because this week we're talking all things La Cuisine.

Episode 221 ~ Pop and Mick talk La Cuisine

La Cuisine is one of the wildest rides in BL, and just like our love for this series, the plot went from zero to 100 in a snap. We have...so many questions. The show's stars, Pop and Mick, are two of the sweetest boys in BL, and they're talking all things LukChub & P'Ram, making friends on set, fast food (and fancy food), and more.

We first met her in Dark Blue Kiss and Friend Zone 2, and truly fell in love with her as Pan in (you guessed it) You're My Sky.

Episode 216 ~ Getting to know Thai nicknames

There are a lot of questions we have when we first get into BL...and even now, if we're honest. One of those questions is how exactly nicknames work in Thai - after more than a year of learning nickname after nickname, we're finally diving into the cultural aspects of Thai nicknames, and talking about all of the overlapping boys (and how we tell them apart in a conversation or on the TL).

In an episode full of special appearances, Episode 215 was originally slotted to be a conversation with the man we all know as Dr. Bright in Together With Me, Porsch Apiwat. Things quickly turn into a family affair with Kiddy and Arm joining the conversation, and we couldn't be more excited to share it. We talk Thai pronunciation, why it's great that everyone hates Dr. Bright (except Arm), what's on the menu at their bakery, and so much more. Things even wrap up with what might be the most livel...
