Über diesen Titel

Referential is hosted by Dr. Khaliden Nas to have serious conversations about frivolous topics!


Each episode takes you on an academically informed deep dive into pop culture and media that never skips out on a stupid joke.


Subscribe & join Dr. Khaliden Nas (and the occasional guest!) as we dive into conversations about identity, representation, Blackness, queerness (and so much more) across the cultures that we make; and the cultures that make us.

    (The Lost Pilot) Troye & Sam (Or Queering the Mainstream with Miss Sundi) [RE-RELEASE]
    Dec 26 2025
    RE-RELEASE


    A lot of you joined us since the first days of the pod so I figured I'd re-up the first ever test episode of REFERENTIAL recorded with the one and only Miss Sundi for those of you who mixed it!
    Give it a listen and REFERENTIAL will be back with you proper in a few days!


    ----------



    Tangent Episode #1**

    *Apologies for the audio quality! It's not too bad but we were still learning. Miss Sundi will be back on the pod soon with the mic their voice deserves!*

    *'Tangents' are audio-only episodes posted more frequently than Video Episodes because they require less work/research/editing

    Expect quick reviews, edited out content, collabs, mailbags, live audio, and so on.. *


    Miss Sundi and I sit down to talk about and queerness in the mainstream, baby gays and how we're imagining queer futures.

    + Find out how we also fit the following in:

    • Troye Sivan & Sam Smith
    • Queer Joy
    • Post-Empowerment
    • Critiquing with empathy
    • Idina Menzel is a 'Beast'
    • Queer male bodies
    • Latinx Madonna
    • Pride parties
    • Janet Jackson moaning
    • Queer utopias
    • Moesha
    • Queerness & palatability
    • Remember when Adele was dressed like Jamaica?


    And more!
