August 25, 2022 192: Rina Sawayama | Part 2
This week I am joined by queer pop sensation Rina Sawayama. Her debut album was pure genius and she has spent the summer touring with none other than Sir Elton himself. In this episode she shares some beautiful truths about her pansexuality that even her superfans won’t have heard before. She also shares her story of discovering her queer chosen family, being raised by a single-parent and what an earth a SHE-E-O is, and how we can all become one! You can pre-order Rina’s new album ‘Hold The Girl’ here.

August 11, 2022 190: Glyn Fussell | Part 2
This week I am joined by none other than Glyn Fussell and boy did we hit it off. Glyn is the founder of two absolute bedrocks of queer culture: the club night Sink The Pink and the festival Mighty Hoopla and I don’t know where we’d all be without him. I hear about what happens when you unite so many queer icons under one roof for the biggest LGBTQ+ music festival in Europe, which noughties icon was breaking in to fellow popstars dressing rooms, and why George Michael had to stop going on night’s out with Bananarama. You can buy Glyn’s book Sink The Pinks Manifesto For Misfits, Be Different, Be Free, Be You here.

August 08, 2022 Culture Club Special: Travis Alabanza, None Of The Above
Now then, Homo Sapiens is not a dating show. BUT that doesn’t stop you lot, because it turns out that when award winning writer and playwright Travis Alabanza came on the podcast last time and mentioned they were single, lots of you slid right on into their DM’s, offering to take them up town on a date!! Which means I finally feel like Cilla Black hosting Blind Date and I love it. SO after a good catch up about dating indie boys with guitars, Travis told us all about their brilliant new book ‘None of the Above: Reflections on Life Beyond the Binary’ and it’s a fascinating chat. Click play and enjoy. x

August 04, 2022 189: Ryan O'Connell | Part 2
When Ryan O’Connell came on the podcast last time we had a blast, and I knew we had so much more to talk about. So here he is. Not satisfied with creating Netflix smash hit ‘Special’, starring in (and writing) the new ‘Queer As Folk’, he’s gone and written a brilliant novel. This episode is full of Ryan’s trademark honesty and wit, as we cover why I’m clearly lying about something all gay men do, what your slutty years can do for you, and we find out what did Ryan learn he is too famous to do in public? Click play for all this and more, plus you can buy Ryan’s hilarious book ‘Just By Looking At Him’ here.

It’s a special episode today. Jessie Ware is one of my oldest friends and to celebrate her new single, Free Yourself, we sat down for a good old gas about why her podcasting icon mother, Lennie, could be behind a v gay rebrand of Whispering Angel, what this new album has got to do with Sarah Ferguson’s toes and we find out…Why is Jessie downing a pint of milk during all of this?
