LEGACY EPISODE. For reboot start at season 2 WELCOME TO PUGLIA.

We are in Matera, European capital of culture 2019, for the first ever Matera Pride. We take the chance to compare it with our experiences of Rome Pride, Bari Pride and Taranto Pride. Michele takes the test and we find out whether he is more a prosecco or peroni boy, with a preference for inside or outside...

Part 2 of our gay travel guide to Ostuni, Puglia.  David, our guide to Ostuni, takes us to Ostuni's two local beaches where there is something more beginning with "S" going on than just sun, sea and sand... Lamaforca and Torre Pozzelle. David explains the protocol and the rules of engagement and helps us with the language! ADULT CONTENT and EXPLICIT REFERENCES used.

Like a game of football (AC Milan v Juventis), Part 1 of our guide to Ostuni is a game of two halves. With another new friend @davidgram92 we find out a little bit about Ostuni, its history and some of our favourite places to eat and hang out...

Then in the second half, we find out a little bit more about our charming guest for this podcast, Mr Citta di Ostuni, the lovely David (@davidgram92 on Instagram).

This summer when Ostuni's numbers swell from 32.000 to 100.000 will he will be looking for love, or something more practical, does he prefer prosecco to peroni...and will a sugar daddy or a toy boy amuse him more...?

Before taking a road trip for Part 2 of our guide, David demonstrates the meaning of "gifted".

AKA the sleepover before the hangover…

The boys take (another) trip to Lecce, this time to celebrate IDAHOT 2019 with their friends from Ra.Ne - the Rainbow Network. They have a sleepover at their best new friend’s place in Lecce, grazie Adriano, and at 4am they try to make sense of everything.

As we say here in Italy, siete ubriaco!

We review the triumph and tragedy that was our roadtrip to Perugia. We preview the three Prides of Puglia - Taranto Pride, Bari Pride and Salento Pride. And we launch our competition to win EUR100.

The prize goes to the first person to correctly identify by email the undisclosed soundscape track - where it comes from and when it comes from (so, if you think it comes from a particular file you need to name the film and identify the scene).

So, this one is a little different. It's our Easter Soundscape. When people turn to religion, we turn to art. A tribute, vespers for Holy Week, or something else. You decide...

LEGACY EPISODE. For reboot start at season 2 WELCOME TO PUGLIA.

We chat with professional dancer and voguer extraordinaire Kenjii Mizrahi, after his amazing Voguing Workshop for the Salento Rainbow Film Festival. Kenjii explains the history and culture of voguing - the houses, the old way, new way and vogue fem. We learn about European catwalk, American runway and the climactic dip. Follow Kenjii on Instagram @kenjii_mizrahi or on Facebook Ken Jii Mizrahi.

We visit the Salento Rainbow Film Festival, Lecce's LGBT* film festival taking place 28-30 March 2019. But first Scott arrives in Lecce listening to his favourite podcast, Once Upon A Scream. He explains his craving for a kebab and, while trying to find the venue, ponders on whether he prefers Lecce to Bari. 12 minutes into the episode he finds CineLab Bertolucci, the festival venue, and tracks down Gianlucca, one of the festival's artistic directors for a quick chat...

With Michele still rehearsing for the play in Naples, Scott goes to his tamburello lesson, then moans about the inconvenience of the ongoing Brexit uncertainty.

This podcast contains some adult content.

With spring in full bloom and summer seemingly around the corner Scott tests his Italian language skills with some useful Italian phrases for gay men visiting Italy this summer. Whether you want to take it più veloce or più piano, there are some interesting phrases for the gifted and talented.

Alternatively you can ask Michele the question he is often asked on a night out with his straight brother - "siete gemelli"?

Recorded outside and on an iPhone there's a little background noise and a little signal interference, but we promise it doesn't get in the way of the linguistic learning experience...
