May 26, 2022 179: Springtime Special: Arthur Parkinson | Part 2
As it’s the #ChelseaFlowerShow this week, we have a very special guest who’s more qualified than anyone to talk about gardening, it’s the wonderful Arthur Parkinson. He’s the author of The Flower Yard, he’s brilliant on Instagram (even though he wishes we weren’t so dependent on it) AND he’s even doing some modelling, which to us, is no surprise. Arthur gave me some great flower recommendations for Valentine’s day, how chickens help combat his depression and why he identifies with Anne Robinson and Joanne Lumley. It’s a good one, plant a seed by pressing play and letting it grow in your ears - Chris x

May 19, 2022 178: Fat Tony | Part 2
Let’s knotch the volume up on this episode, but please, no requests because this legendary DJ and pop culture marvel, Fat Tony aka Tony Marnoch, isn’t afraid to tell you where to go… just ask Madonna. He’s hilarious and larger than life, but talked to me candidly about his upcoming book ‘I Don't Take Requests: The wild, heart-breaking and life-affirming memoir of a cultural phenomenon’. Tony spoke about facing and overcoming addiction, being the bitch between George Michael and Boy George and meeting Freddie Mercury outside Heaven at the age of 15… really, this episode is *that* juicy. As I said, turn the volume up and enjoy! - Chris x

May 12, 2022 177: Raven Smith | Part 2
Raven Smith is the Vogue columnist, author and internet funny man who keeps us all chuckling away on Instagram. He’s here to tell us about his new book ‘Raven Smith’s Men’. It is hysterically funny, honest and at times bittersweet in its portrayal of the queer experience. We talk about how Black Lives Matter changed his whole perspective on work and life, what he said that got armies of Harry Styles fans coming for him in his DM’s, and how he finally got free of internalised homophobia. Hit play for a great chat - Chris x

May 09, 2022 Heartstopper Special with Alice Oseman
‘Heartstopper’ is the new Netflix show that’s got you ALL talking, so we just had to chat to the creator Alice Oseman about how she brought her graphic novel to the screen with a brilliant cast of actors and fellow creators. We talk about how identifying as Aromantic & Asexual gives Alice a unique perspective on young love, whether she likes the label that the show has acquired of “the anti-Euphoria”, and why representation on screen matters more now than ever - Chris x

May 05, 2022 176: Douglas Stuart | Part 2
This week we’re honoured to welcome Booker Prize winning author Douglas Stuart. We chat about ‘Young Mungo’ his hotly anticipated sequel to one of my favourite books, ‘Shuggie Bain’. We talk about what it was like to be young, working class, Glaswegian and queer in Thatcher’s Britain, his first kiss (a dramatic love triangle no less) and why Glasgow is a feminine city.

We’re polishing the silverware at HS Towers this Lesbian Visibility Week cos we’ve got a National Treasure in the house. Boxing’s Olympic Gold Medalist Nicola Adams and her partner Ella Baig swing by for a lovely chat to tell us all about their big news - they’re having a baby! Plus we talk about what body positivity means for queer women, what happens when you mix onlyfans and pregnancy, and we found out - what did Nicola make her family do before they all went on Family Fortunes?
