Exploring the Feminine with Chris Oh!
About Today’s Show
Life likes to box us in a lot of the time. If you don’t fit into a nice and tidy box with a bow on the top then how are people suppose to judge you accordingly? Androgyny, Boylesque, drag queens, non-binary, it can all be a grey zone at times.
In today’s episode, Calan Breckon and special guest Christopher Olwage a.k.a. “Chris Oh!” have a dynamic conversation about exploring the feminine as well as all aspects of ourselves through self-expression. The former Mr. Gay World 2013 has an open and honest conversation about his journey to becoming one of the most sought-after Burlesque performers in the world. From his childhood obesity and suicide attempts to learning to love himself and embracing his gender-bending ways, Chris shares his journey with love, laughter and hope to inspire others to break out of their metaphorical boxes.

Loneliness & Belonging
About Today’s Show
Going through life as a gay man can be alienating. In fact, some say that loneliness is the new gay epidemic. Despite widespread progress in legal and social acceptance of homosexuality, studies show that gay men are disproportionately affected by loneliness.
In today’s episode, Michael and special guest Phil McAuliffe a.k.a. “The Loneliness Guy” have a candid discussion about normalizing loneliness and how we can seek a greater sense of belonging.
