Episode 15- Season 2 – BB Returns to The Open Table

Sexuality, Society & Culture

Last week’s chat with BB (@bhanuka) sparked so much interest, we just had to keep the conversation going. He’s back on The Open Table for a rich, wide-ranging discussion that dives deeper into community, cultural identity, and the world of leather.

In this follow-up episode, BB opens up about growing up Buddhist and how cultural differences have shaped his worldview. We talk about the transformative power of volunteering, and why it’s become such a vital part of his life and leadership. As Laird Leatherman 2025, BB reflects on what the title means to him, the responsibilities it carries, and his passionate work with Switchboard Victoria (https://www.switchboard.org.au), a key support service for LGBTQIA+ communities across Australia.

It’s an honest, heartfelt conversation about service, self-expression, and showing up for community. Tune in to hear how BB is using his platform to uplift others—and why representation matters more than ever.

Listen now and tap into the spirit of Australia’s queer volunteer and leather scenes.
