Amazing things can happen through the power of womanifestation (and gayguyifestation). Fresh off her incredible turn on “The Traitors” and new single “If Only...” is the Wordsmith herself, CANDIACE. Go ahead and make some Deep Space (stream now) for a conversation about taking shots of progesterone on a plane during turbulence, music video budgets, musical influences and the legends in the 6-CD home stereo. I was told somebody was told this is a perfect episode… minus a few corrections Bowen had to make mid-episode via post-recording. Be on the lookout for the IMPENDING classic from the one and only C.D.B!

Four gay guys, having finally had it, go dark woke and throw neck in this episode of Las Culturistas, the sister podcast of the iconic StraightioLab. Its hosts, George Civeris and Sam Taggart, join Matt + Bowen to form a cornucopia of homosexual men who throw prayers up for Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Linkin Park era in a very “they would all be doing Best Week Ever back in the day” way. They clock each other on their social media, the times they’ve publicly cried at events, and original radical optimism opinions. How much do they love Audrey Hobert? It’s in here. Lady Gaga’s potential next film? Well-researched theories are explored. And there are games! Play Haim Lick and consider Lizzo’s Pass along with the crew at home, or wherever you listen to podcasts!  Watch George’s special A Sense of Urgency on Apple and Amazon, see Sam’s upcoming shows in LA on March 24th and April 1st, and stream Haim!
