Learning to listen to your gut takes time, practice, and accidentally starring in a very 'niche' sort of porn film. No, more niche than that. Like, REALLY specialised.
If you've ever found yourself going along with something and REALLY wondering why you didn't just say 'no thanks!' and run away screaming, then Matt Baume's story might resonate.

A reaction to the (nonsensical, transphobic) April 2025 Supreme Court Ruling on 'biological sex'.
Not my best work - apologies for the iffy audio and wonky camera; I didn't have acces to my usual recording setup. Done is better than perfect.

Sleeping under the stars, spending time in the countryside, wandering into a leather convention and getting surrounded by a pack of pups...?
For Upton Rand, finding out about America's gay campgrounds was a revelation. One he decided to grab with both hands. And probably his mouth.

Eye contact: essential for cruising, flirting, and romance. At least, according to the books. But how much is too much? Why do we look away when it happens accidentally? Join me as I torture a metaphor, miss out on a shower with a hottie, and generally explore one of those things you don't think about until it's not there anymore.

I got a nasty throat infection, so rather than torture my tonsils trying to croak my way through a 'proper' episode, let's end this season with a clip from that live show.
Thanks to everyone that came (HUNDREDS of people! It was amazing.) and if you want to hear the rest of the show, get in touch - I'm sure there's a queer venue near you that would welcome a performance from me and my (many, many) nob jokes.

How do you have better sex with strangers? Send more nudes? Shower together? Get better at organising hookups?
Sex therapist Todd Baretz shares the story of how sex with lots of random men helped him realise the truth: anonymous shags weren't for him, and the best way to get good sex is to get to know the person you're shagging.

Can condoms make sex more... sexy? Should we say Grace before filling our mouths? Why was I such a weird teenager? All these questions and more are pretty much ignored in favour of making some silly jokes. Standard, really.
From straight students to sexual Sherlocks, we're touching on every aspect of johnnies, nodders, and spaff-catchers. Just be sure to wash your hands afterwards.

According to Andrew Tate, if you enjoy making sweet love with a woman, you're gay. I look into why anyone would say something so strange, while trying not to die of a hangover. A lesser person would surely have perished.
Also: The naked version of a meeting that could have been an email, why you shouldn't eat too many cakes, and what to google if you're not having fun in bed.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
