In this episode, I sit with Comedian, Actor and Producer Erin Purghart (they/she/he).
We discuss labelling ourselves for ourselves vs for others, the need for more lesbian Christmas movies, why coming out doesn't have to be a big deal, audiences and performers being themselves unapologetically, the space Erin has created for Queer comedians, hearing from close friend of Erin's – David, and the moon takes its rightful space front and centre in this episode!

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
