Bia and Harry are two Black queer friends from two sides of the diaspora - one Black American, one Nigerian. Both living in America with a whole lot of thoughts. Every other week they pull up and talk about life, culture, identity, and whatever is taking up space in their heads. Sometimes it gets deep. Sometimes it gets messy. But it is always honest. Chosen Kin is not here to settle the diaspora wars but to prove that chosen family shows up no matter where you're from. New episodes every other Saturday. Produced by Culture of Color Collective.
When the Saints Get Secular with Lindsey of AudMagic
Chosen Kin is back for spooky season with a conversation on faith, astrology, and what happens when the religion you grew up with no longer fits. Bia and Harry welcome Lindsey of AudMagic, a tarot reader, Reiki practitioner, and sound healer.
From Kirk Franklin and GloRilla’s “This Time” to a youth minister who thought Mary Mary didn’t look Christian, we share stories about growing up in the church and how that has evolved our spirituality. Lindsey shares how she went from leading Young Life to practicing divination, explains the nuances of hoodoo, and why your zodiac sign isn’t an excuse for bad behavior. They talk about deconstructing on your own terms and the red flags to watch for in a spiritual mentor.

The girls are missing the plot
Chosen Kin is back with four years of Renaissance, a Real Housewives of Atlanta debrief, and a Cheesecake Factory theory that explains the entire Amanda Seales situation. Bia and Harry dive into the Insecure anniversary tour discourse, but the real conversation is about burned bridges. When someone falls out with a group, what's a fair consequence and what's just punishment? They get into accountability, who actually counts as a legacy character, and why divesting from celebrity doesn't come with celebrity perks.

Happy Black (Queer) Music Month! with Rian-Louis
It's Black Music Month, and we're celebrating the only way we know how: gay, loud, and ready to fight about Brandy. Harry and Bia welcome Rian-Louis of the RIANOUTLOUD! Podcast to talk all things Black music, from artists and queer icons to the deep cuts in heavy rotation right now. Is Never Say Never the blueprint, or does B7 deserve its flowers? Did Kehlani need that many features on her album? Do the Brits actually eat when they do R&B? This episode is an unapologetic celebration of Black music and Black queerness. Come for the discography debates, stay for the commentary.

Find Someone Else to Hunch!
Chosen Kin is back with Love Island, Summer House, all the Real Housewives of Atlanta drama, and a serious case for keeping your hands off your friend's situationship. Bia and Harry dive into dating, the job market, and the one rule too many queer folks ignore: stop dating inside your own friend group. It's reality TV recaps colliding with real talk about why your platonic relationships deserve more protection than any summer fling. The conversation builds to one blunt, funny, surprisingly wise lesson about love and friendship, and how to actually show up for community.

Be Who You Are for Your Pride!
What do Chris Brown, cults, and the question of who gets to belong have in common? Turns out, more than you'd think. In their inaugural episode, Chosen Kin hosts Harry and Bia dive into a wide-ranging conversation, from hot topics to redemption, accountability, and how Black folks navigate both. They explore the cult phenomenon, how social media has reshaped how we consume music and celebrity, and what authenticity actually looks like. If you've ever argued about a problematic fave or felt the tension between community and harm, this one's for you.
