Creating a community is something that is becoming ever more important to me and in this episode I talk to David Allwood who accidentally founded Homoparody by deciding to recreate a Lady Gaga video in Lockdown. It's now grown to be a creative company that performs far and wide while also providing a weekly dance class to give people a safe space to express themselves physically and finding their tribe.

We also discuss what it's like to compete in the Mr Gay Great Britain competition and how it's a lot more than a beauty pageant. David also told me about the new shows he has just choreographed at the Pleasance Theatre in London

A doctor, a stand up comic and a preacher all walk in to a bar, mostly because it's the same person, Marc Isaac.

Marc grew up in Scotland but is currently based in Melbourne which is were we had our conversation.

We delve in to what it was like to be working in medicine during the covid pandemic across two continents and also what is means to have Faith and how that works in the modern day.

My favourite quote from this episode is "The confidence to accept acceptance when you know you’re not acceptable"

We also discuss suicide and drug use so please bear that in mind if that’s something you’re not up to hearing right now.

In this episode I talk to Isabela who I met at my gym and I found out she is training to be a pilot. My initial response was, 'wow, that's so cool to be a female pilot" rather than, "that's so cool".

We discuss what it takes to become a pilot, the hazards of unexpected weather, hot girl walking, and how much our dogs love fireworks.

So buckle up, there may be turbulence.
