  The Pick Me Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 17

  Aug 21, 20261h 23mS4

  This week on The Black Gay Agenda , Micah B, Dupree and AP are getting into pick-me culture in the Black gay community and the ways we sometimes change ourselves to be accepted, desired or chosen. What does being a “pick me” actually look like for Black gay men? The fellas unpack gay men who distance themselves from other gay men, the pressure to perform masculinity, internalized homophobia, masc-for-masc culture, femininity, dating and desirability, and the idea that staying home, having less sex or avoiding queer spaces somehow makes someone more relationship-worthy. Then the conversation gets personal: Have you ever wanted somebody to pick you so badly that you stopped picking yourself? Dupree opens up about toning down his femininity, AP reflects on changing parts of himself while dating, and Micah shares how seeking his father’s approval affected the way he lived his life and approached relationships. Plus, AP drops a VERY interesting take about gay men who love sports that the Pushers are definitely going to have something to say about. Ultimately, The Pick Me Agenda is about what happens when you stop performing for everybody else, embrace who you actually are and finally choose yourself.

  Aug 7, 20261h 46mS4

  What does it really mean to “link up”? This week on The Black Gay Agenda, Micah B, AP, and Dupree explore one of the biggest conversations happening in the Black queer community: why meaningful connections can feel so difficult to build. From dating and friendships to networking and community, the hosts unpack the challenges of forming genuine relationships in a world that often prioritizes quick interactions over lasting connections. They discuss dating apps, communication, vulnerability, exclusivity, relationship expectations, and the importance of intentionally creating space for the people we say we want in our lives. Whether you’re looking for love, building stronger friendships, expanding your network, or simply searching for community, this episode is a reminder that meaningful relationships don’t happen by accident—they require intention, vulnerability, and showing up. In this episode: • Dating versus building genuine community • Loneliness in the Black gay community • Friendship and emotional vulnerability • Dating apps and modern dating culture • Green flags and red flags in relationships • Communication, exclusivity, and expectations • Building healthier relationships and stronger community • Why connection matters now more than ever ⸻ Presented by Jack’d MEET THEM HERE: Jack’d App Your next crush is one download away.

  The R&B Rundown Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 14

  Jul 17, 20261h 50mS4

  Is R&B really dead, or has the genre simply evolved? This week, Micah B and Dupree are joined by guest host Michael Anthony for a full celebration of R&B music, culture, and the artists who continue to shape it. The conversation covers Lauryn Hill’s legacy, Frank Ocean’s Blonde, Usher’s recent music, the artists carrying modern R&B forward, and why so many listeners believe the genre has lost its way. The crew also plays R&B This or That, builds the ultimate bedroom playlist, highlights underrated artists who deserve more attention, and reveals their personal Mount Rushmore of R&B albums. From ’90s classics and 2000s favorites to today’s new generation, this episode is for anyone who has ever debated the greatest R&B artists, albums, songs, and eras.

  The Community Check-In Agenda | SZN 4 Episode 13

  Jul 3, 20261h 30mS4

  This week, Micah B, Dupree, and Justin take a step back after another Pride season to ask one important question: What happens after Pride? The conversation begins with a Letter From the Pushers that revisits the ongoing debate around Pride, sexuality, and respectability politics. The hosts reflect on the backlash from a previous conversation and explore why Pride can celebrate sexual freedom while remaining rooted in protest, visibility, advocacy, and community care. From there, the crew checks in on the state of the Black LGBTQ+ community. They discuss supporting Black queer artists beyond Pride Month, the responsibility of creators and organizations, the impact of reality television and media exploitation, and why civic engagement, voting, and year-round community building matter just as much as showing up to Pride. The episode also celebrates Black queer joy, entrepreneurship, local organizers, and the people creating meaningful spaces for our community every day. Honest, reflective, and rooted in love, this conversation is a reminder that Pride doesn’t end on June 30. The work, the joy, and the community continue all year long. ⸻ Executive Producer Micah Butler Producer Justin B.
