Welcome to the first episode of Outcasts Podcast. Each episode I am going to speak with an actor, director, writer or other creative who is involved with the producing of LGBT themed projects.

To tie into my LGBT sports podcast the first two episodes are going to be sports themed episode. My first guest is John Donnelly, a British screenwriter who wrote "The Pass", the play would later be adapted to film by John. Here is the description from wikipedia: Nineteen-year-olds Jason and Ade have been in the Academy of a famous London football club since they were eight years old. It's the night before their first-ever game for the first team — a Champions League match — and they're in a hotel room in Romania. They should be sleeping, but they're over-excited. They skip, fight, mock each other, prepare their kit, watch a teammate's sex tape. And then, out of nowhere, one of them kisses the other. The impact of this 'pass' reverberates through the next ten years of their lives — a decade of fame and failure, secrets and lies, in a sporting world where image is everything. Before talking about "The Pass", I spoke with John about how he got started. Here are some ways to follow John on social media and links to find more info about the movie. John Donnelly on twitter:
