    When does the Christmas spirit truly begin? Is it when Mariah Carey's vocals take over the airwaves, or when you find yourself donning a festive onesie in early November? Benji and Brad engage in a lively debate over the premature arrival of holiday festivities, especially from Brad's vantage point in retail. They navigate the amusing clash of Halloween and Christmas and share personal stories that highlight their unique family traditions and the quirks that make the holiday season special.

    Shawn Mendes' coming-out story serves as a springboard for examining the broader impact of celebrity announcements on societal perceptions. We challenge the media's role in amplifying these narratives and discuss whether these stories reinforce outdated norms. By questioning the spectacle of celebrity disclosures, we ponder the potential of normalizing diverse identities through everyday actions, encouraging our listeners to rethink how we embrace the LGBTQ+ community.

    In a lighter vein, we recount a hilariously relatable mishap involving a cloned bank card and a forgotten Feet Finder subscription. Amidst the laughter, we explore the trials of modern adulting and make a resolve to embrace the Christmas spirit, even when it feels elusive. With tips on boosting holiday cheer through music and classic films, we invite you to join us in finding joy in the early stages of this festive season.

    Ever tried to keep up with a drag queen during Pride weekend? Benji did, and let's just say he had to sneak in soda water breaks amidst the kaleidoscope of London's bustling LGBTQ+ scene. Join us as we laugh at Benji's misadventures, from frigid encounters with Britain's notorious weather to humorous swipes at our own dating profiles. Our latest escapades take a Broadway twist as we ponder the cultural phenomena like the West End's "Frozen," setting the stage for a chat as lively as a Clapham night out.

    On the journey from vibrant city life to the more serene family-friendly locales, we've got a tale that could give rom-com writers a run for their money. Imagine meeting your future spouse during a pandemic quiz night, only to find yourself in a Vegas wedding whirlwind post-birthday celebration. Add the amusing mix-up of dating two best friends simultaneously and sprinkle some heartfelt lessons on respectful communication, and you've got a love story that’s as unpredictable as it is charming. Our special guest joins us to share their unique insights into the world of same-gendered family building, adding depth and warmth to our conversation.

    Navigating surrogacy and sperm donation is anything but straightforward, and we take you through the highs and lows of the process. With our guest sharing their personal journey, we explore the legal, emotional, and sometimes awkward paths of surrogacy in England, where commercial surrogacy remains a taboo. From selecting egg donors to the logistical hurdles across countries, each step brings its own set of challenges and joys. As the excitement builds towards the anticipation of twins, we celebrate the resilience and love that define the path to family-building for LGBTQ+ couples.
