  • BONUS: It’s a Sin | Russell T Davies - Part 2

    BONUS TREAT! 'It’s A Sin' is the b-rilliant new Channel 4 show that has been making many headlines this week, and so of course the creator Russell T Davies (Queer As Folk, A Very English Scandal) zoomed in to give us the full skinny. The show stars Olly Alexander from Years and Years among many others and is about a group of friends coming of age in the 80s, in the shadows of AIDS, who are determined to live and love more fiercely than ever. Russell tells us all about the show, plus his own experiences of growing up during the AIDS crisis, and well it’s Russell, so a million other wonderful funny and touching stories in a way that only he can do. Listen to this episode for tantalising teasers then go watch it on Channel 4. In partnership with Channel 4, big love to Russell for coming on the show, it was a real treat!

  • 109: Body Image

    Body Image. WOW, this one really got everyone going. Body confidence, the unrealistic porn aesthetic, body hair and... why was Chris the only person in a nightclub with his top ON? We hear the good, bad and that: there is no ugly. Plus Chris gets on the blower to someone he adores: Scottee aka @ScotteeIsFat on Instagram who, as always, brings his truly brilliant take on the body image conversation. Plus we hear some wonderful news about Eddie Izzard and get a very welcome new list of your Culture Club recommendations to get us all through these weeks of being indoors.
