EP 15: Peter Kahl - The Portland, Maine Content Creator on Asian Masculinity, Vietnamese Culture, and Gay Culture

from Walmak Podcast: Vietnamese-American Popular Culture · host AlwaysWalmak.com

This week, I’m joined by Peter Kahl, a content creator known for helping people navigate the tricky, hilarious, and sometimes messy realities of dating someone from a Vietnamese background. What starts with light talk about Christmas, snow, New York in the ’80s, Portland, Maine, oysters, and beers quickly turns into a wide-ranging, no-filter conversation. We get into the new hit show, Heated Rivalries, liver transplants, and how Peter met his Vietnamese husband on the Grindr app, along with bigger topics like interracial dating, Asian masculinity, "Rice Queens', “Platinum Gays,” and the impact of phrases like “No fats, no fems, no Asians.”We also talk marriage & visas, going viral on social media, dating the family, adjusting to Vietnamese culture, food, gossip, jealousy, and what it’s like being gay in Vietnam. Along the way, we debate Madonna vs. Britney vs. Gaga, Eagles vs. Journey, and share a few ridiculous personal stories. It’s silly, honest, and as usual a shit ton of fun!Be sure to check out Peter on Instagram and Youtube below:📸 Instagram: @petekahl📺 Youtube: West Meets East🙂 And don't forget to snag your Walmak gear at AlwaysWalmak.com✌️ And follow me on IG at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠walmak.podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tập 15: Peter Kahl – Hẹn hò, Bản sắc và Văn hóa Queer Việt NamTuần này, khách mời của tôi là Peter Kahl, một nhà sáng tạo nội dung nổi tiếng với những chia sẻ hài hước về việc hẹn hò với người gốc Việt.
