Literally, "homepas," and the gaysian party underground

Little is written or known about “Homepas,” secret spaces that have been at the center of gay Asia’s party underground for decades. In this episode, we attempt to do what chatGPT could not - describe what homepas are! The exclusivity! The muscles! The rules! The underwear! The marginalization that birthed these spaces! AND their complicated racial politics — all based on our wild and hilarious experiences. Follow us at @literallygaysians on Instagram and TikTok. Hosted and produced by Bao Nguyen...

Literally, tough feelings as our parents age

We’re facing some tough, complicated feelings about our parents (and ourselves) as they age.

And new fears that are surfacing as they enter their “golden years.” Content warning: we talk about physical abuse and trauma in this episode, and call it out before discussing.

Literally, the famous mpox (fka monkeypox) gaysian, with Kevin Kwong

We interview Kevin Kwong, who overnight became one of the most recognizable faces of the mpox (fka monkeypox) outbreak. We hear his first-hand account of what happened, and how he found the courage to share all his bizness to major news outlets. We also get to know the amazing human behind the face - learning how to hit on guys at the club, how to pull off a Coachella marriage proposal, and how to earn a "playa name." Note: We recorded this episode last year, before the CDC updated the virus's t...

I n the first-ever episode(!), hosts Bao and Chris describe what their hopes for the podcast are, and answer a few questions to help listeners tolerate them more (...or less).
