It feels more like pulling up a chair to a lively, sometimes messy, and always honest discussion.

This podcast operates on the belief that our mental health, our love lives, and the culture we live in are inextricably linked. It’s about finding your footing in a complex world, with Joshua offering queer perspectives that are both insightful and deeply relatable. Tune in for a blend of personal journals, cultural commentary, and practical advice that tackles the full spectrum of LGBTQ life, all delivered with a distinctive and engaging voice.
