This podcast is something I didn’t know I needed until I happened to stumble upon it. I’ve been into BL since my very early teens and being able to listen in on these conversations now (just turned thirty this year) in a sense makes me feel validated. I enjoy the topics and content matter as a fellow queer person myself. This podcast is highly entertaining and I’ve quite enjoyed it thus far.
I shoul- no I need to learn more about (one of) my favourite thing ~✨BL✨~
This podcast is excellent, definitely recommended for all serious yaoi fans who are interested in the hot topics and history of this genre. Aisha and Amanda provide intelligent discourse and mature takes on some sensitive issues that I used to mostly avoid. But surprisingly I found my views aligned with what they said and that’s what hooked me. I feel like this podcast is providing a voice for yaoi fans like me.

We can just say I’m obsessed
To my fellow BL/Yaoi connoisseurs, thanks for creating this podcast.
I’ve been reading BL/Yaoi since my late 30s and now I’m in my early 40s. So, I feel extremely new to the BL/Yaoi culture, but the both of you clarified some of the things associated with enjoying this genre.
I really enjoyed the back-and-forth between the two of you and I’m looking forward to hearing future episodes of your podcast.
