I haven't been feeling very proud recently, have you? Today I'm taking a look at Pride and its importance to not only us but our communities as well as some incessant rambling.

Have you been feeling lonely recently? I know I have, thoughts of romance have been plaguing my mind as of recent and due to the occasion I thought I might take a look back at Lust from the 2021 issue of OKTOBER Magazine. This time I expand on my thoughts on dating in the queer community, its challenges and the ease of online dating.

While it has been a rough or rather eventful week, I wanted to take a look back at one of the introspective works I've done with OKTOBER Magazine, "Envy," how it affects us and how I've been able to manage it. Thank you for listening!

Hello and welcome to the first episode of the Oktober Podcast, I'm your host Chaz. This is the little brother talk show of Oktober Magazine. Today we talk about its inception, the themes felt around the month of May and the decentralization of celebrities. As the first episode things are a bit rough around the edges but I hope with time to improve. Thank your for listening.
