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.

Hey Bessie, send us a text message!
Trigger Warning: This project contains mature and sensitive themes such as depression and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
Anu-ano kayang issues ang pumasok sa ating Top controversial kikis? Sumawsaw ulit ang mga Bessies sa most talked-about topics shaking up the queer cultural landscape. From fur baby drama to the uproar over an X-rated children's movie, we tackle the issues that spark conversations and healthy debate. Hindi din namin pinalagpas ang ayaw mamatay-matay na issues - the Olympic-sized complexities of family dynamics at ang napakagulong stances in today's political climate.
And of course, we again highlight the importance of mental health as we share our own mental health struggles dahil September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month!
As regular Pinoys just sharing our opinions, we invite you to join the kiki dahil every voice matters, and sometimes, a little kiki is just what we need to get you through the day!
