  • 175: Nicola Adams and Ella Baig | Part 1

    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?

  • Ban Conversion Therapy Special

    Ban Conversion Therapy has been all over the news recently and this week we chat to the wonderful founders of the campaign - Harry Hitchens and Matt Hyndman. We hear the incredible story of how it all began - going from a quick Facebook messenger chat between two friends to becoming a campaign that has had The Queen, Elton John & Timothée Chalamet getting behind it. Plus Harry & Matt’s own personal experiences of being offered conversion therapy, and Matt tells us the beautiful reason why he is so personally committed to the cause. As more develops with the wrongful exclusion of trans people from the ban, we’ll be returning to this story. Please give @banconversiontherapy a follow on Instagram and support them in any way you can - Chris x

    As we approach Easter weekend, we’re asking Does God Love LGBTQ+ people? And who better to provide some insight than the self-proclaimed Happy, Holy Homosexual - Reverend Jide Macualay.

  • 172: Josef Salvat: Part 2

    Josef Salvat is one of my favourite pop stars so I am thrilled that this week he’s come by HS Towers for a chat about his amazing new album ‘Islands’, but of course very quickly we’re off on a whole deep yarn about how to break free from the shame LGBTQ+ people experience around sex, which pop princess inspired him to move to the UK, and finding out what the heck Queer Temporality is and how it can liberate us all. Plus, we hear from you lovely lot about your favourite records ahead of #WorldRecordStoreDay and find out how many of you lie when you asked what you’re listening to on your headphones (guilty, your honour). Press play and enjoy - Chris x

  • 171: Self Esteem | Part 2

    Self Esteem is the queer pop star we’ve all been waiting for and luckily enough she popped by for what turned out to be a really deep chat this week before she jets off on tour. She tells us why the music industry may never have its #MeToo moment, why not being Chris Martin is a problem, and what item she’s campaigning to get in every dressing room. As she put it herself “This is the most psychedelic podcast I’ve ever done” Press play and see if you agree! Chris x
