  • 003.5: XTRAcast Part Two - The Truth of Yassir

    To a backdrop of blue sky and birdsong, HOPECAST Host Yassir reflects on family, coming out, identity and truth. Yassir’s presence is powerful, beautiful and full of hope so we knew everyone should immediately stop what they were doing and listen to his voice uninterrupted. There is so much truth in here we should really rename it TRUTHCAST.

    The Truth of Yassir includes:

    • The tension between uniqueness and belonging
    • Coming out in an extended South Asian family
    • Living presence and acceptance without regrets
    • The role of elders in gay life
    • XTRAcast is our mini weekly episode, popping up in-between the main fortnightly show.

    • 003.5: XTRAcast Part One - The Wisdom Of Anders

      When HOPECAST Host Anders described himself as ‘a ghost operating a meat monster’, we knew everyone should immediately stop what they were doing and listen to his voice uninterrupted. There is so much wisdom in here we should really rename it WISDOMCAST.

      The Wisdom of Anders includes:

      • How does being brought up in the church affect our bodies?
      • What happens when we don’t listen to the body’s warning signs?
      • What is it like on the borderlands of burnout?
      • Where can we find gratitude in fragility?
      • XTRAcast is our mini weekly episode, popping up in-between the main fortnightly show.

      • 003: On Bodies

        We’re all in long term relationships with our bodies, but if they treated us the way we treat them, honey...there’d be words. On this HOPECAST our hosts dive deep into the theme of bodies and how we learn to love them, or not.

        We ask:

        • If your body was a song, book or movie what would it be?
        • What would your body say about you in couples therapy?
        • How can we be better at caring for these weird and wonderful vessels we inhabit?
        • If you’ve ever doubted yourself, or worried that you’re going to be found out, we have just the thing for you when our resident buddhist monk tackles Imposter Syndrome in a brand new What Would Buddha Do? 

          Keep your messages coming! We love them. You can be part of the HOUSE OF HOPECAST by following us on all the socials @HOPECASTPODCAST, visiting our website at hopecastpodcast.com, sliding into our DMs and emailing your challenging issues to [email protected]

        • 002.5: XTRAcast - What do a Drag Queen and a Buddhist Monk have in common?

          ...no really, we want to know! So we took our own Matt and Nick back in time to 1991 and sat them in the HOPECAST STAR TEST chair (google it).

          You’ll find out answers to questions like:

          • Why did you take the path you did?
          • What is normal and abnormal in your world?
          • Are you good at flirting?
          • Who would you choose as your sugar daddy?
          • What does your god look like?
          • How many of their answers were similar? You might be surprised!

            XTRAcast is our mini weekly episode, popping up in-between the main fortnightly show.

          • 002: The Stepford Gays

            Welcome to a brand new HOPECAST! The hosts are all enjoying their new found podcast fame and fortune. Who bought a yacht already? Who has been recognised in the street? Answers within.

            Speaking of answers within, we’re launching a fab new section in this episode called WHAT WOULD BUDDHA DO? Do you have a problem that can only be solved with ageless wisdom? Well you’re in the right place. Find out what happens when our first listener asks WWBD? Email us your questions for the next episode [email protected] 

            Our main topic for this HOPECAST is the idea of ‘normal’. Where does it come from? Does it apply to us? What’s good and not so good about it? We give it a good going over and share our stories of normality (or not).

            We end the episode with another beautiful meditation led by Yassir.

          • 001.5: XTRAcast - Is that how I sound?!?

            Ooooh gurl. One of the unexpected things that happened when we released our pilot episode was when we listened to to it ourselves and thought “Is that how I sound?!?” so HOPECAST Hosts Paul, Oliver and Matt had a chat about it.

            We spoke about the connection we as gay men have to our voices, what we think they reveal about us and where we’ve picked up cues from others about how we sound.

            XTRAcast is our weekly mini episode, popping up in-between the main fortnightly show.
