What starts as a discussion about age gaps in relationships quickly evolves into a deeper debate about influence, consent, friendship, and the responsibilities we have when someone clearly tells us who they are and what they want. Along the way, Jay, Torrian, and Chef Von unpack the challenges of loneliness in the Black LGBTQ+ community, whether power can exist beyond age, and where the line is between genuine connection and manipulation.

Today, we're giving you an exclusive first listen to a brand-new project: Extreme Curiosity. This fictional audio drama follows a Black gay man who insists he's not stalking anyone... he's just extremely curious.

Extreme Curiosity is suspenseful, funny, thought-provoking, and just a little bit unhinged. Take a listen to this sneak peek and let us know what you think.
