Homo Sapiens

This week returning co-host James Greenwood joins me to get deep on queer parenting, surrogacy and donor conception and how much we might be overthinking it as parents.

We talk about internalised shame, the fear of being judged, and the pressure to get everything “right.” At times it feels like therapy because parenting has a way of bringing everything to the surface...

Another dive into the inbox this week and we've had a lot of responses about the pride debate and whether we're leaning more on the side of protest or celebration! Great to hear from you as always!

Dani St. James is back in the co-host chair to unpack whether Pride 2026 will be a protest or a celebration. Dani shares her insight from inside Not a Phase to discuss the reality behind the corporate pullback and what this means for LGBTQ+ communities across the UK.

We dive into the cost of Pride, why regional events are shutting down, and whether celebration and protest can truly coexist. Dani also gives us ALL the Transmission gossip and reveals what went down backstage - enjoy listeners!

The brilliant Megan Crabbe is back to unpack the rise of the manosphere, how it’s shaping ideas around masculinity, and whether it’s beginning to infiltrate queer spaces.

We dive into the real-world impact of online extremism, from shifting gender norms to rising homophobia, and ask whether queer communities are feeling less safe as a result. Megan shares her perspective as both a queer woman and an influencer navigating an increasingly hostile online space.
