As the lines blur between the virtual and the real, they find themselves in an unconventional affair they are unable to conceal.

What The Cheater Knows Best! | S5 E11
THE POET GOD
01/05/24 • 35 min
In this follow-up from the previous installment of our “Shades of Bae” series, we pick up the conversation from where we left off in “An Unconventional Affair”, which was inspired by Black Mirror’s striking vipers' episode, where two best friends found themselves in a virtual entanglement that rooted itself much further and deeper than either of them would ever imagine. As our conversation progressed we found ourselves unpacking what some would say, the cheater knows best. With assignations afoot, and reflections of the misplaced trust we put, with previous partners for which we have now parted ways. Removed emotionally from journeys we once took, we now convene to take a look at the nuance at play, in the many shades of bae.

In this episode, I played priest to a fuckboy who had many things to confess. He takes us on a wild ride through the mentality of a fuckboy, uncovering the seductive behavioral characteristics behind this notorious label. Brace yourself for a no-holds-barred discussion about casual flings, zero commitment, and the scandalous allure surrounding it all. But beware, this term carries judgment and controversy, so approach with caution. Tune in if you dare, and prepare to question everything you thought you knew about these fuckboys out here.
Shoutout to Playing with Fire's "7 Things We Can Learn From FuckBoys" episode and Breeny Lee's "The Psychology of a Fboy" episode! These were two vastly different perspectives we pulled from for this episode. Links below to blow episode so you can check them out.

The Toxic Nipple | S5 E6
THE POET GOD
06/19/23 • 60 min
Were we crippled from the start, fed with poison from the parts, our community that only embraces a narrow view of humanity, though be it far from their own reality? Were we nurtured on the nipple of insanity?
Join us as we take a tantalizing journey deep into the dark, forbidden world of how our upbringing has shaped our sexual views, gender roles, and relationship patterns. In this and the upcoming episodes of this series, we will explore the dangerous dance between nature and nurture, and unveil the provocative teachings and messages about love and intimacy that we were exposed to and influenced by. Through intoxicating storytelling and passionate discussions, we'll navigate the twisted and captivating path of healing from past traumas as we seek to answer why so many people hide parts of themselves from the people they love the most while sharing those hidden parts with those who are like ghosts. And how we have emerged out of a culture of hiding, a culture of fear, a culture that provided a corrupt kind of care, and now we’re here, beyond the ripples of the toxic nipples!

Sexually Speaking | S4 E5
THE POET GOD
08/20/21 • 68 min
Have you ever felt that traditional or religious ideas of monogamy are out of date or out of step with the needs of humanity? If the answer is yes, you're not the only one. After watching Showtime’s “The Affair” and Netflix’s Sex Life, I’ve been reflecting on a conversation that began with a group of friends at a dinner party years ago, where one person expressed his belief that the idea of the monogamous relationship is problematic because it assumes that one person can be everything that the other person in the relationship needs. He expressed that to proceed with what he believed to be an impossible dream, would lead to disappointment when one or both of you discover that you can’t meet all of each other’s needs. All of this lead to this episodes conversation with my friend Donte. After being Married with kids for years now he found himself needing to breakout of traditional ideas of what all of that means! I can't wait for you to hear how things have evolved in his relationship with his wife as they both begin a new journey of addressing their emotional, spiritual and sexual needs.
