We all know and love Naija Couture (aka @biblicallyaccuratebutchqueen) for his memes, hot takes and encyclopedic knowledge of music history and pop culture. Last month, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the New York-based DJ (by way of the rural South) just days after the 2024 election. Together we reflected on the state of the world, queer identities, rave culture, growing up in the 90’s, and his incredible journey from performance artist, musician, producer, DJ and online personality.

This was a very important and insightful conversation and I hope that you'll join me in carrying his message of community care forward into the new year.

Listen up for a special invitation from Hue to the Revival New Years Day celebration!

I want to thank each and every one of you who has listened to, liked and shared a podcast episode or mix. AFTERS will continue to be a labor of love into the new year and I hope that you’ll come along with me.
