  • 184: Two Twos | Part 2

    It’s been a devastating week with the reversal of Roe v Wade and the shooting in Oslo. Homo Sapiens’s thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the tragic events in Oslo, and to our friends in America - we are behind you and we will help you fight this miscarriage of justice. 


    We have some incredible guests on the show this week, which was recorded before this past week’s events. They are none other than podcasting sensations Rose Frimpong and Nana Duncan. Their podcast, ‘Two Two’s’, has taken the podcasting world by storm because of their funny, honest and open conversations around queerness, friendship, race, pronoun fatigue and a whole load of other tangents that will always make you chuckle. We discuss the temptation to snoop through your partners phone, who out of the two knows how to throw a BIG surprise… and what the hell all of this has to do with IDRIS ELBA no less. Chris x

  • 183: Jodie Harsh | Part 2

    What more is there to say about this week’s guest Jodie Harsh that she hasn’t already said for herself? She is a true icon of queer culture, she was DJing in extra drag before Ru Paul’s drag race and she isn’t shy of expressing herself in oh so many joyous ways. Jodie also holds a special place in my heart because I met my husband at her night, Room Service! She tells me why her main motivation is making great music and shows, why she doesn’t like selfies and ‘riding Jodie Harsh until the fucking wheels fall off’. If a night out was an interview, it’d be this so put your headphones on, turn it up and enjoy - Chris x

  • 181: Reverend Richard Coles | Part 2

    I’m honoured to have the witty and wise Reverend Richard Coles as our guest this week on Homo Sapiens. He’s as honest and funny as you’d expect, he will have you all howling with laughter with his stories that span from why he thinks he and my husband would get on like a house on fire, some of the most common questions people ask him in their hour of need, to a beautiful and open depiction of queer grief when he lost his wonderful husband David just before we all went in to Lockdown. Press play and enjoy! Chris x

  • 180: How Should We Celebrate Pride in Schools? | Part 2

    This week’s episode is a very special one that we’ve been wanting to do for ages, so I’m so excited it’s finally here as we discuss Pride in schools. Part one is my chat with Geography teacher and founder of his schools LGBTQ+ space, Mr Mattley, and we are also joined by ex-pupil Leah Atkinson who wrote to us about how incredible and life changing the group had been. They told me all about understanding each other and how they’ve helped and educated one another through their journeys which is genuinely beautiful and moving. In part two we hand over the Homo Sapiens baton to Hill Crest Primary School who have created their own podcast about Pride and what it means to the pupils and teachers at their school.  Press play, share with friends and prepare to be blown away - Chris x
