Avoiding my anxiously attached boyfriend
Welcome to "Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend"! (AMAABF). A hilariously chaotic podcast that delves into the highs and lows of being an anxiously attached boyfriend of an avoidant attached partner.
Join the first visual and audio LGBTQ+ podcast hosted by a mixed heritage couple! Get to know Faris (anxiously attached), who's always seeking reassurance, and Josh (Avoidant attached), who self-sabotaged every relationship, until this one! No matter how hard he tried.
This podcast came to fruition from long night chats in the garden with a cuppa, solving all of the world’s issues. Originally, starting as a podcast in our garage, to a beautiful studio in the snazzy city of London.

Avoiding my anxiously attached boyfriend
Hammams, Crossing Borders & Becoming an Author: Khaled Alesmael
In this episode, Khaled Alesmael shares his remarkable story of life as a gay Syrian writer, journalist and refugee: from cruising in secret hammams under an oppressive regime to crossing borders on foot and building a new life in Europe.
Khaled talks candidly about growing up queer in Syria, the hidden LGBTQ+ community and the power of desire as resistance. He opens up about his journey through Egypt, Turkey and finally Sweden, where his writing became his sanctuary and where he learned to tell stories about survival, love and identity when freedom was denied.
He discusses masculinity, family, coming out, the layers of Arab culture, and why he believes we must see people beyond politics. Khaled’s story is a powerful reminder of what queer people endure and how writing can keep hope alive when the world tries to silence you.
