Extra extra! We’ve got a Culture Club bonus episode for you, listeners. The brilliant actor Dino Fetscher (who you may well recognise from pretty much anything that fellow Homo Sapiens alumni, Russell T Davies, has written) is in the house to tell us all about his role in the brilliant Larry Kramer play 'The Normal Heart’. It’s on at the National as we speak and you just gotta go see it - it’s about activism, compassion and love, all set against the backdrop of the AIDS pandemic. It’s a gut punch and completely uplifting too. This is a lovely chat that covers so much more than the play, cos well we just had a laugh. So click play now to find out who helped Dino to be true to himself, a v funny story of internet browsing history and why I seem to think Dino is recording a Christmas single… Chris x📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials Facebook & Instagram @Homosapiens📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.

This episode is pure joy. If you don’t know who ‘The Old Gays’ are, you’re in for a treat and if you do, well, you’ve come to the right place. I spoke to all four of the gang - Bob, Bill, Jessay and Mick about how they they shot to internet fame through Grindr, why friendship and community is SO important and why we all just gotta “Enjoy, live and stop fearing”. Wise words!

Hello listeners. Welcome to a brand new series of Homo Sapiens! This season's theme is… YOU - our listeners! I’ll be having a gas with all the same LGBTQ+ icons that you have come to expect from Homo Sapiens, but we’ll also be chatting to you delightful lot, talking about the things that matter to you, asking you to choose the guests, and of course there will be a healthy splash of agony uncle-ing.And who better to kick things off with than the w-onderful Yotam Ottolenghi who so many of you have asked us to chat to over the years. Most of us know Yotam as a world famous chef, restaurateur & writer, but it’s perhaps lesser known that he’s also a leading light in LGBTQ+ parenting. In an article he wrote for The Guardian he called the day he told the world that he’d had a son via surrogacy his 'second coming out’. So this week he swings by Homo Sapiens for a chat about cooking, parenting, bucking the trend of hyper-masculinity in kitchens, and how everything he does centres around one big queer family. It’s a delightful chat with a delightful man.
