52 min - THE UK'S MOST CANCELLED QUEER ARTIST LIAM STONIER MCDONALD IS BACK - LONDON PODCAST FESTIVAL WEEK
2 years after their first episode went viral . Graeme Smith is catching up with Liam Stonier McDonald in London a week out from a live show at the London Podcast Festival in Kings Cross.
Liam will join Graeme, Nick Charles and Topher Taylor for a live recording of an episode of OUTCAST UK in front of a studio audience at the event. This week we're catching up with everyone pre show and on this episode its the return of the most cancelled Queer artist in the UK - Liam Stonier McDonald, who is as usual annoyingly likeable despite his sometimes unpopular thoughts on issues.
We hear about his art show being cancelled last year by a gallery under pressure from other performers. He tells us his thoughts about PREP and gets stuck into Just Stop Oil... Graeme is opposed.

55 min - MANCHESTER PRIDE BOSSES REFUSE TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS ON CHARITY DONATIONS AND EXECUTIVE PAY / RUSSIA WARNS OF GAY UKRAINIAN SUPER SOLDIERS / GRINDR SHOCK SURVEYOn our last edition of this Summer's Queer news updates on OUTCAST UK, we turn to Manchester Pride. Manchester Pride this year was without a doubt one of the most inclusive yet and saw entry prices seem to come down in price and some special access for lower income groups. This alongside a proudly diverse lineup headed by Danny Beard and Jodie Harsh. But it seems the scars of the bad PR of the last few years has left the organisation a little unsure of engaging with the media. Interview opportunities were notable scaled back for LGBTQ+ media. With the only notable broadcast interview of the CEO this time being more of a promo for just the events of the Big Weekend. But surely people deserve a bit more than just this?After initially contacting US regarding an interview with their CEO and some headliners, the PR people got a little upset with us for asking a couple of questions about charity funding plans going forward and a few more politically loaded questions about rights for LGBTQ+ people around the world and stopped answering our emails access to their artists and VIPs. Is Pride still a protest and charity fundraiser or has it changed into something else and how do you balance all these interests?---ALSO on this episode -a Putin ally warns of Gay Ukrainian super soldiers! AND the Grindr survey that says a quarter of people are on the app to network. The boss of the company claims to have hired people he met on the app.THIS IS OUTCAST UKGraeme Smith is joined by the host of Virgin Radio Pride Daily and former Times Radio, BBC Five Live and LBC Radio newsreader Kevin McGrath for a roundup of the week's queer news stories. From the serious to the ridiculous.

But we wanted to bring some of the voices of some of queer black friends and family to takeover OUTCAST UK for this special episode.Nick Charles is now making some big moves with his Doing career, and this weekend he’s busy gigging in Manchester before heading to London to headline at Fire at the peak of UK Black Pride weekend.

We heard a never before heard perspective of coming to the UK to escape persecution but being sent to a detention centre.Bobo Sango talks about the differences in his experiences in the UK vs the US.Steven John talks about Steven about how the brutal murder of George Floyd in the depths of Covid in 2020 brought the reality of structural racism right into the homes of many mixed relationships for the first time.THIS IS OUTCAST UKtickets to our London Podcast Festival Live show are on PLAYOUTCASTUK.COM
