“Homosapiens was one of the 1st Podcasts, I began listening to, after getting my 1st iPhone, where I could do such activities now. I found Chris, Will, Alan, then Chris (gone solo) & any guest you might have had on, like a just perfectly brewed coffee, to take your time delighting or being...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast through the cross over with Like Minded Friends and could not be happier that I did. Heartwarming, inclusive and not afraid to tackle the big issues and concerns that affect many in the LGBTQIA+ community, I have been merrily routing through the back catalogue and have loved...”Read full review »

“‘Queer’ is not a universally accepted word & I’m sick of this being used as a blanket term for such a disparate group of people. I managed 10 minutes before turning off. Avoid.”

“I started listening to Homo Sapiens during lockdown when it felt like I would never be connected to my wider queer community in a physical space again. Having come out only a few years before I felt a huge loss and grief at my queer life that was yet to be. Listening to Chris’ joyful banter...”Read full review »

“I was recommended this podcast back in 2017 by my gay son. Over the years, I have processed some of my own 50-something, cis white female ‘issues’ and saved so much money on therapy. I’ve laughed and cried, sometimes both in the same episode!! Will, Alan and (always) Chris have had with the most...”Read full review »

“I started listening to Homosapiens at a really strange time in my life. I was (unknown to me at the time) terribly unhappy, overweight and unhealthy, struggling with my marriage and being gaslit into thinking I was mentally unstable…. It was a very dark time… and in that time I discovered...”Read full review »

“Homo Sapiens was always great, but I must admit, my interest waned a bit back when it was a 2-host show. Nothing against Will or Alan, who I love, but the dynamic inevitably felt weighted towards the hosts rather than the guest (like the 2-man team on Blockbusters).
But by himself, Chris is a...”Read full review »
