Kunyit Squared

It's our first repeat guest on Kunyit Squared! We chat with social cause activist Ben on his latest self-funded project LEV8 (pronounced all-e-vi-ate) and how it's a race against time with the increasing rate of HIV transmission and drugs that appear to be a mainstay in the local gay scene unless we do something about it together.

Happy Pride Kunyits!!! We're stepping out from our domestic bliss to celebrate this special month by returning for a very padam padam Season 4! We kick off with a very special juicy inside scoop of the XXO Party Cruise 2023 - The Magical Sea, aka the "Southeast Asian Gay Fyre Festival on Water" as we call it. Touted The Largest Diversity Festival at Sea, the party left queer revellers confused, frustrated, and disappointed, but bonded through the low-key trauma experienced on board. Listen now and continue your pride merriments with us! But if you're looking to know what we've been up to while we've been away, stay tuned for the next episode of Kunyit Squared!
