This week we chat to queer author Britt East about his new book A Gay Man’s Guide To Life. We discuss the masks we wear to hide our true selves, how gay men use friendship with other gay men to find confidence, rampant racism in the gay community and the responsibility we have to learn about other members within the LGBT community. We’re also joined by Paul Mizzi from The Swapcast Podcast to chat to us about queer films that have flown under our radar over the last few years. 

And in this week’s After Show we throw around our thoughts on All Stars 5 and Canada’s Drag Race.
