April 14, 2026 The Joke That Saved My Life (Featuring Guy Branum)
This week Jon and Joho sit down with writer and comedian Guy Branum for a powerful and hilarious conversation about the role of comedy as survival for queer folks. From turning trauma into punchlines to reclaiming joy in spaces not built for us, this episode dives deep into how humor becomes both a defense mechanism and a transformative tool. Guy opens up about his journey toward self-acceptance, using wit to challenge cis-normativity and anti-queer culture, and writing scenes that bring fat and queer representation to the forefront and a reminder that sometimes surviving means being funny — even when it hurts.

April 07, 2026 You Say Fat Like It's a Bad Thing (Featuring Ronald Young Jr.)
What happens when men — cisgender and gender non-conforming — finally get honest about their bodies? This week, Jon and Joho sit down with Ronald Young Jr. to unpack body image, masculinity, and what healing really looks like in a cultural moment that feels like a 90s throwback. From childhood messaging to inner voice work, this conversation goes deep on body neutrality, self-acceptance, and the labor of unlearning toxic narratives. If you've ever been in a complicated relationship with your own skin, this episode is for you.

March 31, 2026 Keep Your Head on Da Swivel (Featuring Nick Guillory)
What does it mean to be Black, gay, and free — all over the world?

This week, Jon and Joho sit down with Nick, creator of Black, Gay, and Abroad, to talk Black gay travel, safety, and storytelling. From MTV and BuzzFeed to building his own agency and passport-stamping his way across Spain, France, Mexico, Costa Rica, and beyond — Nick is redefining what it looks like to move through the world as a Black gay man.

We get into his iconic Yasss to Naur solo travel safety list, the art of long-form travel blogging in a short-form world, and why he went live from Puerto Vallarta during the El Mencho operation to counter the media narrative with truth on the ground.

Travel tips, queer joy, and citizen journalism — this episode has all of it.

March 24, 2026 It's Giving Black Cinema (Featuring Tre'vell Anderson & Ray Love Jr.)
This week on B.F.F.: Black Fat Femme Podcast, Joho and Jon are joined by Tre'vell Anderson & Ray Love Jr. from the Seated Podcast for a deep dive into the Black moviegoing experience. Coming off the chaos of award season, the trio gets real about how Black and queer audiences find joy, connection, and meaning in cinema — even as Hollywood’s marketing still caters to whiteness and heteronormativity. From theater call-and-response moments to the rise of streaming culture, they explore what it would look like if Black, queer, and trans perspectives were treated as the default rather than the exception.

March 17, 2026 Unearthing Our Mothers
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Joho and Jon dedicate this week’s episode to the Black trans women whose courage and brilliance helped shape movements for civil rights, LGBTQ+ justice, and social liberation — yet whose names are too often left out of mainstream narratives. Through stories of Frances Thompson, Lucy Hicks Anderson, and Mary Jones, this episode shines a light on resilience, survival, and truth-telling across centuries of systemic harm.

March 10, 2026 I Am Not an AMPM Cup (Featuring Nicole Daniels)
This week, we’re joined by the hilarious and brilliant Nicole Daniels! Jon and Joho sit down for a deep (and very funny) chat about how real life inspires Nicole’s unforgettable characters—from the overly earnest craft store lady to the nonprofit boss we all know too well—and what it takes to make comedy look effortless. They dig into the creative process, queerness in comedy, and how Nicole stays grounded while balancing her own identity with the ones she performs.
