Hooking My Bait

Join in the conversation!Welcome back to another episode of the Hella Chisme PodcastThis week we're celebrating everything May has to offer: International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), Harvey Milk Day, Pansexual & Pan-Romantic Awareness Day, AANHPI Heritage Month, and National Military Appreciation Month. We also check in on the reality of Pride Season funding cuts including what happened at Long Beach Pride and hold space for the complicated weight of what's going on in the world right now.Then we switch gears and do what we do best: a free-for-all, shoot-the-sh*t episode with your host sipping a tequila mockingbird, recording live on TikTok for the first time (kind of), and reading the most unhinged, spicy, and absolutely fictional Reddit story you've ever heard featuring a fisherman named Hank, a Christmas tree musk situation, and a hook that gets set in more ways than one.This one's for the homies. The ones who've been riding since day one.
