EP08 – Benjamin Haynes – Blogger
This week on the GayPHX Podcast…
We’re wrapping up an unforgettable IBC week in Palm Springs — the bears, the pool parties, the dancing, the laughter, and the kind of queer joy that reminds you exactly why community matters. Five years in a row at that legendary pool party, and somehow this year was the best yet.
As we close out Black History Month, we also honor James Baldwin — a Black queer icon whose voice challenged America to face its truth and whose legacy still shapes the conversations we’re having today.
Then, Brian turns up the heat with this week’s Hot 3 — your guide to what’s lighting up Phoenix next.
And we sit down with GayPHX blogger Benjamin Haynes for a thoughtful conversation about writing, staying informed without losing your sanity, balancing health and mental clarity, personal growth, and what it really means to maximize your potential in chaotic times.
Plus, we remind you how to get your events listed for free, how to share your story on the show, and how to tune into the soundtrack of our city on TuneIn, Radio Garden, and Radio.net.
Queer stories. Local beats. Real community.
