2026 NOMINEE BEST NEWS & POLITICS PODCAST
Absolutely delighted to share that VIBE CHECK has been nominated for an Ambie for Best News and Politics Podcast! It’s important to me that black queer people can be taken seriously as authoritative voices on not just pop culture and LGBT topics, but leading news and politics stories as well.
“A lot of people who look down on sex workers are just mad about the sex work they themselves did and didn’t get paid for.”
Today’s episode of VIBE CHECK is about cheating, open relationships and more! @zachstafford.bsky.social and I even share stories about being “the other woman.” 👀
The SCREAM I screamed 😂😭 @jayjurden.bsky.social @theferocity.bsky.social @zachstafford.bsky.social
We have a lot of questions about the WB-Netflix-Paramount (?) deal so we got on the phone with @warren.senate.gov! To start, is this deal even legal????
yes! We flagged with the team. I think they are popping up bc we talked about AI on the show so the programmatic ad network began running them in the remnant inventory bc we did not do a deal with Meta lol. thank you!!!
really?!?
love that women are single-handily making gay boy romance novels so horny that they become TV shows that are just as horny
thank you for your service #ally
Between ‘Heated Rivalry’ and ‘Boots,’ it feels like Hollywood is saying: “You’re losing rights…but look at how hot it can be being in the closet again!”
Man, this is a fantastic conversation about humor, both when it's about maintaining the status quo (responding to Epstein revelations w/smug self serving comments instead of moral horror) & when it's in service of justice (inflatable frog costumes & ice scrapers deflating facism).
“A seating chart can be care in real time.” Lol, yes! Loving @theferocity.bsky.social’s and @zachstafford.bsky.social’s advice for Friendsgiving on Vibe Check.
We talked about Epstein and more importantly how WE (the internet) are all talking about him (and the jokes) this week on the show:

This week on Vibe Check, we dive DEEP into the world of Wicked, Oz and what these stories reflect back into our own world today.
And we correctly identify Dorothy as a criminal. Think about it!

This is a great conversation on Vibe Check with Zach Stafford and Saeed Jones with Imara Jones & Chase Strangio

Can’t believe the internet slut-shamed Donald Trump into releasing the Epstein files and yet here we are
so fun fact: we recently did a crossover with Dorinda!!! It was like two months ago. She’s the best.
Rosie O’Donnell living rent-free in Trump’s head is the most stable housing situation in America.
UPDATE: We now have “DUMB BITCH SUMMER” tank tops. Hehehehehehehe! www.podswag.com/products/vib...
Some fun updates at Vibe Check…including a surprise Chicago show next month 👀👀👀
new vibe check out now with TEA podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...
See you there!
Everyone thinking this public fight between Elon and Trump is some planned “distraction” are giving two very dumb men too much credit (again).
Straight men remain the most emotional people in the world.
This week on VIBE CHECK, we’re very proud to present a conversation between @zachstafford.bsky.social and Miss Tina Knowles! ENJOY!
Ms. Tina Knowles sits down with me on a very special episode of #VibeCheckPod.
Our chat is a great reminder during Pride Month of how powerful allyship has and will always be for queer people. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...
Has anyone else just accepted the fact that AND JUST LIKE THAT isn’t as good as SATC but you alter your emotional state and just enjoy it anyway?
Enjoyed @timmiller.bsky.social chatting with the Vibe Check guys (@theferocity.bsky.social @samsanders.bsky.social @zachstafford.bsky.social).
Does this <gestures broadly> mean Pride will be subversive again?
❤️❤️❤️
Trump lecturing South Africa’s president about FAKE white genocide is exactly why former plantations like Nottoway should’ve never become luxury hotels.
We’ve never truly confronted the violence of white supremacy—just rebranded it so they’re the heroes and we’re still the threat.
Right?!?
