John Paul Brammer (Zack Knoll)

John Paul Brammer, the self-described “Chicano Carrie Bradshaw,” writes the  popular column, ¡Hola Papi!, which he started in 2017 when dating app Grindr launched LGBTQ site INTO and needed steady content. He soon realized he had tapped into a trove of unmet demand for gay dating advice. Brammer, who grew up in rural Oklahoma, has written for various publications including The Guardian, Teen Vogue, The Trevor Project, Condé Nast, and Netflix and now publishes ¡Hola Papi! on Substack. He joins us to talk about his new memoir, “¡Hola Papi!: How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons,” which explores coming of age, coming out and finding love through essays based on his column.

 

Guests:

John Paul Brammer, advice columnist and author of “¡Hola Papi!: How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons”
