The One That Got A Gay The One That Got A Gay

Fix up, look sharp listeners, we have (extended) royalty in the house! 👑  This week we are joined by the charming and wonderfully candid Lord Ivar Mountbatten, first cousin once removed to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and third cousin one removed to Her Majesty The Queen. 💂🏻‍♂️
As the only openly-gay member of the extended royal family, Ivar shares an entirely unique perspective on what it is like to be gay in 21st century Britain. From Gordonstoun (posh!) to Bridwell Park (his country estate), Ivar talks to us about his experience of being gay in the aristocracy, the role his former wife played in helping him to live his truth and the advice he has for people of his generation struggling with their own sexuality. 🏳️‍🌈
What a guy, and what a privilege to spend some time with him. Thank you Ivar! ✨
The One That Got A Gay explores the lives of gay, lesbian and other LGBTQ+ people who spent many years living straight lives all the while knowing that’s not necessarily who they truly were.
A resource for anyone struggling with their own sexuality or the sexuality of a friend or family member and a guide for allies looking to support people in the process of coming out.

Another week, another perspective. This episode we are joined by pâtissier extraordinaire Phil Khoury, Pastry Chef at Harrods.

Phil grew up in Sydney, Australia as one of four kids born to Lebanese-Australian parents.  He talks us through the tough task of telling (or not telling...) his Arab family, his decision to keep his sexuality private and shares his advice on how other people of Middle Eastern heritage can tackle coming out.

Quite a cliff-hanger, ey? The wait for part 2 of Bec & Adam’s story is well worth the wait! In this episode they tell us more about THOSE revelations and how they navigated the rocky post-coming out road as a couple and as individuals. 
Again, a huge thank you to Bec and Adam for sharing this story with the world through our podcast.

We don’t think you’re ready for the story of Bec and Adam, two self-confessed nerds, parents to two children and the scripters of one of the craziest love stories we’re yet to come across.  
Thank you, thank you to Bec and Adam for letting us tell their story. We hope you enjoy it listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Professional nosebleed faker and ABC News Foreign Correspondent James Longman joins us this week, live from his bed in Delhi! 

James talks to us about his upbringing, the effect going to a Catholic boarding school had on his ability to accept his sexuality and how being gay positively influences his work and life today. DISCLAIMER: This episode features some ugly crying noises. 😭
