Hi I’m Deszi (he/they) and I’m here to talk about the Ace Experience and how I and other aces make our way through this crazy world of ours. I’m here to entertain, educate, make friends, and hopefully break some of those ever-persistent stereotypes about us. We exist, we aren’t just plants, and we’re not so different as you might expect. I plan to talk about a whole plethora of topics so stay tuned!

AiTW Episode 15 - Henry David Thoreau: Ace in the Walden

Oct 31 2024 65 mins

After a long hiatus I have returned to make an extended episode on a man that I used to idolize and where I get way too philosophical! Henry David Thoreau was an author, abolitionist, naturalist, and a major part of the transcendental movement of the mid-19th century. His most famous work was Walden where he went to go live out by himself for two years next to a pond in the woods o

AiTW - "I feel Lost in the Dating Market"

Aug 17 2024 14 mins

A bit of a rant about my current quest for making friends and finding my life partner. My method has been to try and find people that I connect with and build a strong friendship with and then proceed to date. However, my slow burn methodology and my lack of initial romantic interest has made dating a disheartening and burdensome experience for me.

AiTW Episode 14 - James Buchanan: The Mystery of "Old Buck"

May 11 2024 46 mins

An analysis of the 15th President of the United States and whether he was gay, ace, or something else entirely. I go off on many tangents here so be prepared!

AiTW - "Am I Lucky Being Ace?"

Feb 17 2024 14 mins

This is more of a reflection than a proper episode. I've been told "I'm lucky" to be an ace and I have always taken a bit of umbrage to people saying it, despite their good intentions. Today I reflect on this statement and why I don't think it applies to me or to other aces in general.

AiTW Episode 13 - William Pitt the Younger: The ’Schoolboy’ Prime Minister

Jan 11 2024 41 mins

I'm back to my regular format for the time being. I've been wanting to discuss this exceptional British Prime Minster who took over the position at the ripe age of 24 and held power for nearly twenty years. Pitt not only fixed the nation's financial woes after the loss of the American Colonies, but also faced off against Napoleon in the largest European war to date and had to conte

AiTW - SPECIAL EPISODE: Fakes and Flakes (ft. Diana)

Dec 12 2023 134 mins

Chaos ensues as my friend Diana joins me for over two hours! We talk about a plethora of spicy topics including fake aces and flaky boys. We also go off on tangents and side quests and use colorful language so viewer discretion is advised! You have been warned...

AiTW - An Update on Future Episodes

Sep 13 2023 7 mins

Hi all, just wanted to update you on where I was in terms of future episodes and the podcast in general. I'm really trying to build a larger network because at times I feel like I'm talking into the void. I'm very passionate about these topics and I just don't feel like they are getting the attention they need. So for now I plan to keep going but upload with a bit less frequency un

AiTW Episode 11 - Demisexual

Aug 08 2023 40 mins

I've been wanting to address this subset of Asexuals for a while now and this ended up being one of the more research-heavy episodes thus far. My motivation was a discussion with a friend where I felt I was woefully informed. I might do a second part to this topic but I think I covered the major talking points and controversy regarding this unique set of individuals!

AiTW Episode 10 - The Seattle Freeze

May 30 2023 36 mins

After a series of misadventures on my quest to find local friends I've decided to share my experiences in this episode. Are people in the Pacific Northwest notoriously unfriendly? Are they passive-aggressive flakes? Do they make plans and then not show up to them? Is the weather to blame? Are these all just stereotypes? Find out here as I explore the mysteries surrounding the Seatt

AiTW Episode 9 - ACES (2022) - An LGBTQIA+ Short Film: A Review

May 10 2023 17 mins

---Original video: https://youtu.be/lCtiwbHEMOw---My reaction video: https://youtu.be/HNJ6BG5tEwgA relatively short episode for a video that I found about a year and a half ago. It follows a young couple and all seems to be going well until one partner pushes too far and an argument breaks out. One of the better short films I've seen representing an ace exploring their boundaries a
