  • 106: Courtney Act | Part 2

    I LOVE Courtney Act aka Shane Jenek. A modern day drag icon, Shane is wickedly funny, warm, clever and always surprises me with his radical honesty that gets you thinking. We hear about navigating gender fluidity, his West End theatre show “Death Drop” and dating as masculine, feminine, and everything in between. It’s an episode that is full to the brim with glamour, fun and truth serum - can’t wait for you to hear it.

  • 104. Is It Harder To Stay On Top Of Your Finances If You Are LGBTQ+?

    Listen up everyone, it’s about time we broke the stigma and dismantled the taboo...let’s talk about money! We hear from you fabulous listeners about whether being LGBTQ+ has impacted your finances. Our Phone A Friend this week is the glorious Alex Holder, Grazia and Guardian journalist and author of ‘Open Up: The Power of Talking about Money’. It was hugely liberating to chat to her about the M word and hear her top tips on how to open up on what has become the world’s most awkward dinner party topic! Plus, a busy week for LGBTQ+ news and Christmas Culture club!

  • 102: Is Monogamy Overrated?

    Testing, testing, one two three. Is this thing on? This week we’re hearing your opinions on monogamy, and all I can say is - the people are divided, but luckily we’ve got comedian Rosie Wilby on the phone with some very funny pearls of wisdom from her book 'Is Monogamy Dead’. Plus we get inspired by Culture Club, give advice for coming out to Grandma and hear some important news from Amnesty International.

  • 101: Amrou Al-Kadhi | Part 2

    This is a beautiful chat with a trailblazer who sprinkles laughter, honesty and a whole ton of glitter wherever they go. The glorious Amrou Al-Kadhi is a non-binary drag queen who is paving the way for so many people to see that it’s more than possible to be queer, Muslim and fabulous. We find out what was it like being queer at Eton (the British boarding school that educated Boris Johnson), if you can really find intimacy at a chem-sex party, and Amrou tells us about a life changing experience at Edinburgh Festival. They will warm your heart and if you like what you hear go get their fascinating memoir ‘Life as a Unicorn’. Enjoy!
