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.

55: Kiki With A Drag Race Winner
Hey Bessie, send us a text message!
You may know Matt McManus as Fuchsia Luzon, Manila Luzon’s drag sister during the ‘Jocks in Frocks’ maxi-challenge on Season 3, Episode 12 of queer phenom show Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
Matty talks fondly about Fuchsia and almost waxes sentimental about his appearance on Drag Race as easily being the ‘most special’ thing that he’s ever done and the personal triumph he is most proud of in his long list of achievements.
Pero Bes, hindi inatrasan ni Matt ang mga intrigang DIUMANO ay hindi daw niya natanggap ang pa-vacation showcase na prize nya dapat sa show, at ang katanungan kung may OnlyFans account nga ba siya.
