The local podcast sensation – The Gayly Dose – an idea that was incubated during Covid and officially launched in November 2020, premiered its second season this week. A podcast founded by gay men for a primarily gay male audience, their mission remains committed to exploring provocative topics and engaging with influential guests to build a platform featuring open and honest conversation and to encourage a more authentic and connected, gay community. The weekly episodes are produced on Tuesdays and feature the original cast of Helmut Domagalski, Dante Rhodes, and Zack Bennett Schnyder. The second season welcomes new cast members Daniel Martini and Jake Jonez; and A Dose of Lesbian personalities Lakisha and Tiana Clay, a married lesbian couple; Kathryn Krueger, a single lesbian; and Diane Crow, a trans woman. 

The first episode of Season Two – A Dose of Masc. and Fem. - launched January 4, 2022, and is available for download on Spotify, Google, Apple and anywhere podcasts are found. 

“We are beyond excited about our second season,” explains Domagalski, founder and cast member, The Gayly Dose. “It’s been one of my most humbling life experiences to date. We are very proud of what we’ve accomplished - more than 70 episodes later - and we are thankful to our listeners and especially the Atlanta community for the ongoing support. As a podcast community, we are universally touched by guests and followers who trust us with their stories and whose lives we’ve inspired, one podcast at a time.” 

The Gayly Dose Season Two cast of five include: Helmut, a Latino German father of three and healthcare tech executive who leads the podcast team and the conversation; Dante, who is African American and while the youngest of the crew brings an old soul perspective; Zack, the Millennial, who sports his flannel lumberjack looks and works in corporate America; Daniel a real estate agent and a politically conservative POV; and Jake the social media influencer who is sober curious.
