Homo Sapiens

Dear Listeners, something different for you. Alan and I have done a really fun collaboration with the brilliant Art podcast ‘Talk Art’ hosted by Russell Tovey and Robert Diament. We’ve basically made a mash up episode chatting about the giants of Queer Art like David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe plus we get all the intel on the next generation of trailblazing Queer artists like Catherine Opie and Kehinde Wiley. And it wouldn’t be Homo Sapiens without the usual highbrow chatter like who is Chris buying famous art knock-offs from on eBay, how does a Naan bread fit into Alan’s art collection, and what’s it all got to do with Madonna?

The episode is split between our two feeds. So catch part 1 on Talk Art’s feed, and part 2 here on the Homo Sapiens Feed.

Enjoy! x

Have you ever thought about doing a DNA test to learn more about your heritage? Today's guest is the brilliant filmmaker Luke Davies, creator and subject of BBC Documentary ‘Stranger In My Family’. Luke felt different from his family when growing up but always attributed this to the fact he was LGBTQ+. Luke then did a DNA test that brought a family secret to light and changed their lives forever. Tune in to hear this unique story about belonging, chosen family, and heritage.

Stranger In My Family is available to watch now.

Simon Amstell is our guest this week, and it’s a hoot I tell you. The much loved comedian, writer & film director is pure mischief and he leads me very much astray with funny stories of magic mushrooms, panic about ageing, and reflections on his Pop World days. All laced with brilliant wisdom and insights that only Simon could make. Plus - how do you make a rainbow come out of your perineum...? Listen now to find out - Chris x
