Gay & Afraid with Eric Sedeño

“It’s so nice to give people a chance to see a side of your favorite internet personalities that you wouldn't online,” says Eric Sedeño, host of Gay & Afraid, Apple Podcasts' Spotlight show for October 2023. Sedeño is an art director, iIllustrator, and TikTok sensation @ricotaquito. He’s known for his ability to make audiences feel like friends, for his contagious laugh, and being himself — the internet just happens to be watching, too. On the podcast Gay & Afraid Sedeño uses these elements to dive into mental health, dating, and everything in between. He’s joined by a colorful cast of rotating guests, some are also internet personalities, and all are friends like Brittany Broski, Matt Peterson, and Emily Gracin. “It’s the most fun when we get into the rhythm and forget that there are cameras or that we are being recorded,” says Sedeño. Sedeño wants to inspire listeners to be open, authentic, and find joy in every situation. “My podcast is meant to celebrate myself now,” he says. “The moment that inspired the podcast [was when] I didn’t know who I was yet. I hope listeners can feel that.” Join Eric Sedeño and a colorful cast of rotating guests in "GAY AND AFRAID," a new weekly podcast that puts the CAMP back in camp... literally. Each week, Eric welcomes a new guest to sit by his campfire and open up about topics like mental health, coming out stories, dating and relationships, and everything in between.
