What Made You Gag?

Beasley Media Group

Did it make you gag… or gag?

Did it gross you out? Or leave you completely shook in the best way?

Every week, Nicole Michalik and Ben Beaulieu come back to the same set of questions: What made you uncomfortable? What made you gag? What made you light up? What made you proud? What made you curse?

From there, it’s all real reactions. The awkward encounters. The small wins. The spirals. The moments you can’t stop replaying days later.

“WHAT MADE YOU GAG?” is a personality-driven conversation podcast built around simple prompts that lead to honest, funny, and sometimes unexpectedly vulnerable stories. The structure stays the same each week, but the answers never do… because life doesn’t.

With frequent special guests jumping into the conversation, every episode brings new perspectives, new chaos, and new stories you didn’t see coming.

It’s relatable, a little unfiltered, sometimes reflective, sometimes ridiculous, and always real. Like sitting in on a conversation between friends.

If you’re into pop culture, awkward humor, and the kind of conversations that spiral in the best way, this one’s for you.

New episodes of “WHAT MADE YOU GAG?” drop weekly.
