Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend

Fresh from the West End production of Kinky Boots, we’re joined by performer, dancer and content creator Liam McEvoy for a conversation about queer joy, chosen family, musical theatre and finding “the buzz” in life.

From landing his dream role in Kinky Boots and performing across the UK, Europe and the West End, to becoming Bruiser the dog in Legally Blonde, Liam shares the journey from growing up in Ireland to building a career on stage. Along the way, he reflects on the realities of touring, life as a dance captain, audition stories, and why queer representation in theatre continues to matter.

The conversation also gets personal as Liam opens up about growing up in a loud, loving Irish family, coming out at 15 and the incredible support he received from his parents and grandparents. We discuss Ireland’s marriage equality referendum, queer visibility, finding confidence through dance, and the impact of discovering queer spaces where you can truly be yourself.

We also get into chosen family, the legendary Pussy Palace friendship group, HOMOPARODY, dating while living a theatre schedule, Berlin nightlife, queer community, and why the most important thing in life is having “the buzz”.

We’re joined by artists, storytellers and creators Adwoa and Solomon for a fascinating conversation exploring African mythology, folklore, spirituality and the stories that colonialism tried to erase.
From how they met at university and built a creative partnership together, to using art as a way to reconnect with their Ghanaian and Nigerian heritage, Adwoa and Solomon share how a passion project grew into a platform educating thousands about African history, culture and traditional beliefs.

We dive into the Orishas, the Ifá tradition, why African spirituality has been heavily demonised, and how colonial narratives continue to shape perceptions of African cultures today. Along the way, we discuss identity, religion, queerness in pre-colonial Africa, gender fluidity within traditional belief systems, and the importance of questioning the stories we've inherited.

The conversation also explores African masks and masquerade traditions, Sierra Leonean culture, the symbolism hidden throughout Sinners, Beyoncé's cultural references, the connection between music and spirituality, and how culture can evolve without losing its roots.

A thoughtful, eye-opening and deeply engaging episode about history, storytelling and reclaiming cultural narratives.

We’re joined by Glyn Fussell, creator of Mighty Hoopla and co-founder of Sink The Pink, for a hilarious, emotional and deeply honest conversation about queer culture, identity and building spaces where people truly feel like they belong.
From creating one of the UK’s biggest and most loved queer festivals to taking Mighty Hoopla around the world, Glyn shares the journey behind building something that became much bigger than just a festival. He opens up about why representation and community matter, and how creating spaces where people feel safe became central to everything he does.
Alongside the festival stories and chaos, the conversation gets personal as Glyn reflects on growing up in a huge working-class family, desperately trying to fit in, moving to Australia and the life-changing moment he said “I’m gay” out loud for the first time. He shares how discovering queer community transformed his life and how chosen family became just as important as the one he was born into.
We also get into terrible go-go dancing careers, Sporty Spice becoming an actual friend, toy poodle algorithms, dating, relationships, family dynamics and the experiences that shaped both Glyn and the world of Mighty Hoopla.

Smoggie Queens is the chaotic, camp and heartfelt BBC comedy following a group of queer friends navigating life, love and absolute mayhem in Middlesbrough and in this episode, we’re joined by creator and star Phil Dunning alongside actor Elijah Young to talk all about it.

From the inspiration behind the show and how the characters came to life, to filming inside real queer spaces in the North East, the pair share the journey of turning a lockdown script into one of the BBC’s funniest new sitcoms. They also tease what’s to come in season two, including weddings, football episodes, disastrous dates and even more chaos at the local gay bar.

Alongside the comedy, the conversation gets deeply personal as Phil and Elijah open up about growing up queer in Middlesbrough, coming out, family expectations and the emotional realities that shaped both their lives and the stories within the show. From sneaking through basement windows to hide relationships at university, to finding chosen family and learning to finally feel comfortable in themselves, this episode is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.

We also get into dating horror stories, attachment styles, queer nightlife, masculinity, friendship dynamics and the pressure of navigating identity within both small-town life and the queer community.

In this episode, he opens up about the emotional impact of therapy, the patterns he uncovered within himself and the heartbreak that forced him to finally slow down and look inward.
