  • 013.5: XTRAcast - HOPECAST on Podcasts

    If you're a podcast nerd, you'll love this one! The rest of you...see you next week :)

    Anders is thinking about starting a podcast of his own, so he emailed Paul some questions about how to do a podcast. Paul is bad with emails but good with a microphone so he recorded his answers and we thought....hmmmm would others find this interesting too? We cover questions like:

    - What are your podcasting pet peeves?

    - What advice would you give to someone starting a new podcast?

    - If you could start HOPECAST again what would you change?

    Remember: it's ok to fall asleep to HOPECAST.

  • 013: Do homophobes go to heaven?

    This episode we’re doing whatever the fuck we want so we spend a whole 9 minutes discussing our favourite cuss words before wandering into conversations exploring the multiverse and topics like abortion, euphoria and the wiggly path between life and death. Of course we do.

    And we have questions!

    • How can we better understand people who disagree with us without demonising them?
    • Why do we have to learn through suffering?
    • Is the bible real?
    • How come it’s assdick and not dickass?
    • Remember: Karen, we don’t wanna see your mansion and its nasty wallpaper.

    • 012: An orgasm of the heart

      Anders is returning to Sweden as a podcasting superstar. Matthew is heading to Berlin on a whim. Nick is enjoying the feeling of community as people come together again to meditate in person.  Paul is stressing about having too much of a social life and feeling guilty that he wouldn’t hate another mini lockdown. Welcome to HOPECAST!

      We had some really interesting feedback on our last episode, including “slut shaming” and “judgemental” so we take a hard look inside and explore where our attitudes to queer identity, sex and sexuality comes from. Thank you to those who helped us look longer at our own attitudes to this topic. And we have questions!

      • Is there a role for ethics and morality in sex?
      • How much of a part do we play in affecting others and the world around us?
      • Does sex feel more shameful if it isn’t productive?
      • What’s the relationship between sex, love and intimacy?
      • And we share our best ‘pleasure positive’ queer sex wisdom… spoiler, it has nothing to do with avoiding pregnancy.

        Remember: releasing shame helps you feel more whole inside.

      • 011.5: XTRAcast - You make a giant penis and dance around it

        XTRAcast is back and Anders is here to answer the important question on everyone’s minds: “when do you put your Christmas tree up?” - it’s a HOPECAST exclusive! Paul is confused after our last episode so he steps into the confessional booth with Anders and talks about judgement and shame. According to the media we’re supposed to be slutty and fun and have no boundaries, but is that ok?

        Anders never wants to make mistakes or hurt someone else, even if it means being unfulfilled himself. He’s so used to considering every possible outcome of every potential situation that he ends up unable to take action. So we Yes Anders It! Find out where we end up!

        Remember: Do things regardless of people’s opinions, not their wellbeing.

      • 011: There’s no vulnerability in getting fingered behind KFC

        Episode 11 starts as an intimate threesome and builds to a spicy foursome and we go OFF.

        Nick needs the listeners to help him manifest a new home. Get on the case folks! Matthew has been on a gardening course but what’s his place in the garden of the world? Paul saw - and recommends - Constellations if you get the chance to see it in London. Oliver is going to be doing virtual reality meditation voiceovers and we are HERE FOR IT. A red hot What Would Buddha Do question takes us down a rabbit hole of sex, celibacy, love and relationships. Strap yourselves in for this one!

        And we have questions!

        • When will Matthew open Ella Veryde’s Drag Academy for Disgraceful Girls?
        • What’s so appealing about hooking up with a straight guy?
        • How old were you when you realised Whitney was talking about f*cking all night?
        • Where did you get your education about queer love and / or sex? Spoiler: Probably not mainstream media.
        • Remember: a standing prick has no conscience.

        • 010.5: XTRAcast - Stewing in my own juice

          Hello world! XTRAcast is our in-between-shows episode where we reflect on the themes that came up in the last one. Sort of. In this episode, Yassir and Matt live their best good cop / bad cop fantasy by shining the spotlight on Paul for a change. The other hosts have questions, and after five minutes of stalling for time an uncomfortable, sweaty-palmed Paul has a go at answering them. Questions like:

          • How does he feel about HOPECAST, and what does he do straight after a recording?
          • What is the greatest gift or strength he brings to this world?
          • If he could be reincarnated as any animal what would it be and why, and why can’t he just let himself have fun in the fantasy?
          • What is his biggest fear?
          • What’s so good about being bad at something?
          • If you enjoy listening to someone sitting in discomfort, it’s your lucky day!

          • 010: ...and from this space, anything is possible.

            We made it to double digits! The Sexy Six, as we now refer to ourselves, are back together for the first time since Episode 1 and we have lots to talk about, like how Nick’s recent holiday to Greece became an exercise in coping with mental calamity. We reflect on living illegally under homophobic laws and how we find our way out of shame; and we share our favourite bits from the first ten episodes of HOPECAST (the only podcast in the world, apparently).

            And we have questions!

            • What’s your gay age: the length of time since you came out?
            • Is there a point in time when we should stop wearing Speedos or going clubbing?
            • How is Matt co-existing with his Elaine at the moment?
            • Look out for the PLOT TWIST at the end of the episode :)

              Remember: When you are authentic you have nothing to hide.

            • 009.5: XTRAcast - One broment in time

              Hello world! XTRAcast is our in-between-shows episode where we reflect on the themes that came up in the last one. Usually. As will be revealed, we didn’t quite achieve that this week but thankfully we had in the HOPECAST vaults an unpublished chat with Matt (in a hat!)

              We chat about making friends as a queer person, building self esteem, how to express the masculine and feminine inside us and helping family understand our lives. Plus:

              • Matt reveals that Ella Veryde has a Drag sister!
              • Paul talks about the ‘broment’ - the length of time it takes for a straight man to mention his girlfriend in casual conversation!
              • The HOPECAST Time Machine makes another appearance!
              • Remember, it’s progress not perfection.

                HOPECASTERS! We need you! Episode 10 is coming up and we want to know what moments from our previous episodes have had meaning to you. What made you laugh? Made you think? Made you hope? Message us and we’ll include your best bits :)

              • 009: God loves Gays

                The HOPECAST Hosts must have been excited to see each other as we didn’t stop talking after saying hello, which means this episode starts at “how are you?” and takes us to some very interesting places covering the spectrum of birth, death and marriage.

                We talk about how to flirt - and how not to - in different languages. Anders shares his favourite Swedish pick-up line: “hello biscuit, are you dropping crumbs?”. We learn that Nick likes beards, Yassir doesn’t want to be treated like a piece of meat, Matt communicates through the medium of dance and Paul speaks his truth about the night he met Dan.

                And we have questions!

                • How do we navigate dating and conversation in the era of apps?
                • Is a beam of light at a gay wedding a sign from God? (Spoiler: yes)
                • Can we reinvent the nature of parenting through a queer lens?
                • What do we do when friendships change after weddings and kids?
                • Apologies for the slightly crunchy audio. We blame it on the weather (man).

                  And remember: it comes from the heart not the balls.
