Ep #184: Top-Secret Feelings + 3 (feat. "Prince" Rosario)

Author: Läyeh July 9, 2024 Duration: 1:28:14

🌹 Welcome to #dkLa! 🌹 In this special Pride Month episode, we sit down with Rosario, an artist whose life and work are intertwined with the motif of roses. Our conversation was so touching it nearly brought me to tears.

Rosario's journey is as captivating as their name. Formerly known as Rose, Rosario embodies the essence of roses in every aspect of their life. From the fragrance they wear to the rose motifs adorning their home and art, they are a sentient, talking rose. Rosario’s art and characters draw inspiration from 70s manga, renowned for its liberal use of rose imagery.

Join us as Rosario floats onto our podcast in a flowing white blouse, a rose in their mouth, and long, sparkly eyelashes framing their handsome face. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of identity, art, and the beauty of embracing who you truly are.

Tune in for an unforgettable conversation that celebrates Pride Month, the power of self-expression, and the beauty of living authentically.


There's a certain magic in catching a conversation before it's packaged for mass consumption, a raw authenticity that often gets smoothed away. #dkLa! Pirate Radio, steered by Läyeh, is built on that very premise. This podcast operates like an audio archive for the unfolding present, dedicating itself to deep, patient listening. You'll hear dialogues that feel more like discoveries than interviews, where ideas are presented in their formative, sometimes messy state, and cultural shifts are examined as they happen, not in retrospect. The rhythm here is intentionally different, prioritizing the craft of the conversation and the substance of the connection over the noise of immediacy. It’s a space shaped by a respect for enduring traditions and meticulous care, yet it remains dynamically open to what's next without compromising its core. Tuning into this feed means accessing a continuous document of voices and thoughts that value depth and continuity, offering a sustained, thoughtful engagement with society and culture that’s increasingly rare. This is where you listen closely, not just hear.
