Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend
Welcome to "Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend"! (AMAABF). A podcast that delves race, relationships and the LGBTQ+ community.
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 London.
We want this podcast to be a place our beautiful listeners can enjoy, have a laugh and escape yaylity!

The Empire, Wakanda & Ancient History: Helio Figueiredo

This week we sit down with Helio, essayist, historian and cultural commentator, for a conversation that completely reshapes the way we think about empire, masculinity, queerness and power.
From Ancient Rome’s obsession with dominance and “bottom shaming”, to Emperor Hadrian deifying his lover Antinous… from Alexander the Great’s erased queer relationships to the ongoing exploitation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this episode travels across centuries to expose how colonialism didn’t just steal land, it rewrote history.
We explore how empires manufacture identity, how education becomes propaganda, how masculinity is weaponised, and why queerness has always existed, even though we may try to forget it.
