For my next podcast, I sat down with Josh Rivers, the host and creator of the podcast Busy Being Black. Each week, Josh interviews notable queer people of color as they explore "how to live in the fullness of their queer black lives." Busy Being Black is an award-winning podcast with over 14,000 listeners worldwide.

I originally sat down to get some advice on how to create and grow an original podcast. But what started out as a simple conversation, grew into a deeper exploration of what it means to be a gay man in the age of Grindr and other dating apps. We discussed how the dating apps are merely one facet of a rapidly changing society and all of this contributes to how we engage in relationships or choose not to.
