The Balut Kiki Project
Tuloy lang, mga Bes! We are an international award-winning Filipino podcast by fabulous members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our goal is to normalize and de-stigmatize conversations that Pinoys generally only talk about in secret - mental health problems (like depression and suicide), sex, sexuality and the human body, non-traditional relationships, among others. "Balut" is a Filipino delicacy consisting of a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. So, we aim to make our episodes nutritious though they are not for the faint of heart. While "kiki" is queer slang for a gathering among friends. Kaya we throw in discussions about queer culture and interests - because why not, diba? We are uniquely PINOY. We are unapologetically QUEER. Join your hosts Mel, Geoff, Nealle together with Peter, Morey, Kenny, Choi, and a bevy of other Bessies! Winner, BEST PODCAST HOST, 1st Asia Podcast Festival Awards, Singapore.

Top 10: Positive But Toxic
Hey Bessie, send us a text message!
Warning: This project contains mature and sensitive themes such as depression and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
Yung akala mo lang nakakatulong ka, pero hinde! Hinde! Hinde!
Isa ka bang toxic Bessie? Sure ka ba na truly positive ang mga words of support mo bilang friend? O baka naman numero uno kang suki ng mga Positive pero super Toxic quotes na kasama sa Top 10 list namin. Hmmmmm. Magkaalaman na nga tayo, Bes!
Listen to our reasoning kung bakit minsan, kahit na we come with the best of intentions to help ay toxic pa rin ang dating ng ibang words of support and encouragement natin. At dahil lab namin kayo, nag-offer kami ng mga substitutes at suggestions kung ano ang mas magandang gawin at sabihin to be truly supportive in our friend's desperate time of need.
Tugon, mga Beslog!
Every month should Mental Health Awareness Month!
