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.

Dear Bessie, I'm Trapped
Hey Bessie, send us a text message!
MATURE CONTENT WARNING.
Nagbabalik ang ating Dear Bessie episode dahil may trootulayp na sumulat sa atin! Wa echos, mga Bes! Kaya hindi namin pwedeng palampasin ang chance na magpasanib muli kay Ate Charo to try to walk in the shoes of a Bessie in distress.
Serious ang kanyang hinaing dahil our Bessie-letter sender ay feeling suffocated, strangled, and cornered in an unhappy relationship - sabihan ka ba namang "possessed by the devil"?! Kalokah twoah!
*Dear Bessies, paalala lamang - ang aming mga payo ay aming sariling opinyon lamang o kaya naman ay pawang katuwaan lamang kaya huwag pagka-seryosohin! Malaki ka na at alam mo na dapat ang ginagawa mo.
