In this episode of The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Breakfast Club, the team dives into the state of queer culture at a time of triumphs, cancellations, and cultural resets.

Photographer Tyler Udall joins from Berlin, bringing his trademark insight on art and identity, alongside Michelle Robecchi, commissioning editor at Phaidon and a sharp observer of how the art world frames and sometimes sidelines queer narratives.

Together with BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! founder Ghislain Pascal and host Graeme Smith, they unpack why major museums still hesitate to show queer work even as The Queer Lens at the Getty breaks attendance records, what Netflix’s cancellation of The Ultimatum: Queer Love says about visibility on screen, and why the closure of London’s G.A.Y. bar may signal a new kind of queer space emerging.

In this special live episode of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! podcast, we’re joined by legendary human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell - one of the most fearless and influential LGBTQ+ activists of the last fifty years.

From the early days of the Gay Liberation Front to the radical protests of OutRage!, and now through the Peter Tatchell Foundation, Peter’s work has helped shape the modern queer rights movement across the globe. His activism goes far beyond LGBTQ+ equality - he’s stood up for democracy, justice, and human rights everywhere, often at great personal risk.

Jorge Garriz looks back on Peter’s extraordinary journey: from taking on governments to confronting powerful institutions, challenging prejudice wherever it hides, and staying true to his principles no matter the cost.

Recorded live in front of an audience at BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café, Fitzrovia, London. For more information visit petertatchellfoundation.org

In this episode of The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast, host Graeme Smith dives into the hidden histories and cultural impact of queer photography.

First, filmmaker and creative director Sam Shahid joins Graeme to talk about Hidden Master, his acclaimed documentary on photographer George Platt Lynes. Shahid reveals how he discovered Lynes’ daring images of queer life and beauty, the challenges of telling a story once kept in the shadows, and why preserving this history remains so important today.

Later, Graeme is joined by Paul Martineau, curator and author of Queer Lens: A History of Photography at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Martineau reflects on the photographers who helped shape modern visual culture and explains why visibility and representation continue to matter in contemporary art.

From Platt Lynes’ mid-century work to today’s galleries, this episode celebrates the artists who framed queer lives with courage and artistry.

In this episode of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast, host Graeme Smith meets two artists amplifying queer expression through powerful musical work — on stage, in the concert hall, and beyond.

First up: acclaimed singer-songwriter John Grant, known for his genre-spanning solo career and collaborations with legends like Elton John and Kylie Minogue. John talks about lending his unmistakable voice to A Single Man, a new ballet based on the Christopher Isherwood novel, premiering as part of the Manchester International Festival in Manchester, UK. It’s a bold step into the world of dance — bringing his lyrical intensity to a story of grief, identity, and queer love.

Then: conductor Oliver Zeffman, the founder of Classical Pride, a landmark celebration of LGBTQ+ voices in classical music. From stages across the UK to its debut at the Hollywood Bowl, Classical Pride is reshaping who gets to take centre stage — and what pride sounds like in the concert hall.
