The Conversation

The Conversation is a podcast all about Asian BL/GL/QL (and sometimes other queer media), coming at you from a film crit perspective. We swan in every other week-ish to shoot the shit on faves, flops and trends, artistry and industry nerdery, and also crack and simping, because we contain multitudes. NiNi is our editor and producer. Ben is our creative director and content manager. Shan is our associate producer. Twig is our correspondent. Our theme music is Dedication by Ron Gelinas Chillout Lounge (Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com).

    Intelligent, informative, and fun!!!
    I stumbled upon this podcast when I NEEDED to discuss Moonlight Chicken and had no one IRL who watched it. So glad I did! Nini and Ben are super smart, knowledgeable, and very funny. I learn something with every listen. One suggestion: it would be great if some of the episode titles and/or descriptions contained the names of the shows you’re discussing so when listeners watch something and want to hear your thoughts they can find the right episode easily. Love this podcast and highly recommend!
