    Masculinity, Spoken Word & The Birds and the Bees: myndstate

    20/1/2026 | 58 mins.
    In this episode, we’re joined by myndstate, a spoken word artist who uses poetry to explore identity, sexuality and what it means to grow up in a world that doesn’t always leave space for difference.
    myndstate shares how he found his voice through hip-hop, wordplay and storytelling and how writing became a form of therapy as he came to terms with being queer. He opens up about growing up without representation, the shame and confusion of hiding parts of himself and the long road to coming out to his family and finally feeling free.

    We dive into his most powerful work, including his poem Birds and the Bees, which reimagines sex education through a queer lens, challenging what we’re taught about love, bodies and “normality.” He talks about why education and visibility matter, why empathy is the real goal of his art, and how performing to non-queer audiences can change the way people see the world.

    New Music, Tomboys & The Industry: Malika (Hamzaa)

    13/1/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    In this episode, we’re joined by singer and songwriter Malika (Hamza) for a raw, funny and deeply honest conversation about music, mental health, identity and becoming who you really are.

    Malika opens up about growing up with depression, ADHD and anxiety, and how songwriting became the only way she could truly express what was going on in her mind. 

    We talk about dropping out of school, going viral online, getting signed to a major label, and the reality of being pushed to become someone you’re not. From navigating record deals and creative control to choosing independence and making her first album on her own terms, Malika shares what the music industry really looks like behind the scenes.

    She also speaks openly about sexuality, realising she liked girls from a very young age, trying to fit in by dating boys, being a tomboy, and eventually understanding that she’s a lesbian. With honesty and humour, she reflects on coming out, family, culture, and learning to stop pretending.

    Colonialism, Queer South Asians & Hierarchies: Dr Rohit K Dasgupta

    06/1/2026 | 44 mins.
    In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Rohit Dasgupta, associate professor at the London School of Economics, queer activist and local councillor, for a vital conversation about caste, class, colonialism and queerness.

    Rohit reflects on growing up gay in India, navigating caste, colourism and class hierarchies, and how these systems didn’t disappear online, they were replicated through dating apps, digital spaces and diaspora life.

    We explore how British colonial laws criminalised queerness across South Asian countries, why homophobia is often framed as “traditional” when it isn’t, and how white queer spaces can reproduce exclusion rather than liberation.

    From Grindr and caste to queer nightlife, migration, activism in 1970s–80s Britain and the limits of visibility politics, this is a nuanced conversation about power, belonging and what real queer freedom actually looks like.

    Palestine, Arab Stereotypes & Masculinity: Elias Jahshan

    15/12/2025 | 1h 1 mins.
    In this episode, we’re joined by Elias Jahshan, a Palestinian-Lebanese journalist, editor and writer, for a powerful conversation about identity, belonging and reclaiming narrative.
    Elias opens up about growing up Arab, queer and deaf, navigating racism, homophobia and disability and the deep tension many queer Arabs face when asked to separate parts of who they are in order to be accepted.
    We explore his work editing This Arab Is Queer and Queer Arab Families, the weaponisation of queerness in political discourse, fetishisation in dating culture, trauma led storytelling in the media and why visibility alone isn’t enough without agency.
    This is an honest, nuanced discussion about colonialism, queerness, grief, hope and the power of telling our own stories.

    Together, they unpack navigating arguments, validation, intimacy, jealousy, social media pressure and the slow, beautiful work of choosing each other every day.
