    TODAY IN GAY: Dan Savage launches Savage Lovecast

    Back in 2006- Podcasting was a brand new venture. It promised hours and hours of free content. You no longer had to stick to the radio schedules and everybody suddenly had the chance to become an internet radio presenter.

    Dan Savage started the Savage Lovecast in 2006 and it has become one of the most successful independent podcasts in the world. It all started from his column Savage Love at The Stranger.

    Dan and his team have answered thousands of calls about love, life but mostly sex. Nothing is too taboo. No topic is off the table.

    Listeners phone in from all over the world to relay their problems and Dan with his encyclopaedic knowledge endeavours to answer them in the most honest way. It makes for addictive, guilty listening.

    Well worth the listen.

    The show now comes in two formats the micro – which is 40 minutes long and comes with a few adverts, the second is the MAGNUM, ad-free and twice as long – more calls and more guests. You can get the micro version iTunes completely free.

  • Do I Sound Gay?

    Of course you do, and so do we, Thank God!

    When forty-something-year-old American journalist DAVID THORPE suddenly found himself single again he started to question what was wrong with him.  He thought it could be the fact that he sounded gay, so he set about delving into the whole issue of how he spoke to see if he could resolve it.

    He documented his ‘journey’ of discovery which with the help of his friends, therapists and some very witty gay celebrities turned into an hilarious and touching movie that every single gay man (and woman) will so relate too.

    We sat down and talked with David (in our regular gay voice) who has articulated on something that all of us have questioned at some time.  He shared more of what he had learned from the likes of David Sedaris, Margaret Cho and Dan Savage to come to where his now totally comfortable in his own skin.  His interview with The Gay UK will be in out next issue, but meanwhile you can still catch him and his funny and enchanting movie playing at the BFI Flare Festival on 25/27th  March 2015

  • Gay Couple To Join Channel 4’s Sex Box

    A gay couple take part in a sex experience in front of live studio audience for a Channel 4 progamme that aims to look at the sex lives of normal Britons.

    Three couples, which includes an engaged couple who were childhood sweethearts, a gay couple who have been together for 3 years and couple in their 20s.

    A spokesperson for Channel 4 said that the gay couple had wanted to take part in the show because it was a brilliant opportunity to show how ‘normal’ gay sex could be.

    Mariella Frostrup is to host the new show for Channel 4, which aims to reclaim sex from porn by ‘exploring how the ever-increasing consumption of pornography is distorting people’s expectations of sex and ultimately damaging the sex lives of Britons.’

    The show is to be recorded in front of a live studio audience, who like TV audiences will not see any sex or nudity.

    After each couples’ time in the box, they will talk with Frostrup and a panel of sexperts, which includes psychotherapist, broadcaster and author Phillip Hodson, sex, body language and relationship expert Tracey Cox and internationally syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage

    Sex Box presenter Mariella Frostrup said: “Ten years as the Observer’s Agony Aunt has given me plenty of insight into what an important role sex plays in our lives but also how difficult we find to talk openly about it to each other. The sex we see on screen, in magazines and increasingly online bears little relation to the real experiences of real people. I’m delighted to take part in this attempt to have a frank conversation about an essential element of all our lives. ”

    The actual Sex Box is a completely sound proofed box – however the walls are opaque, so audiences or the production crew will see little.

    Dan Savage said: “Many people have an easier time speaking honestly about sex with their friends – or with anonymous strangers online – than they do with their partners. But honest, fearless communication with the person (or persons!) with whom you actually have sex is central to creating successful long-term relationships. Sex is that important.”

    The show is to be broadcast on the 7th October.

    The Campaign for Real Sex Season starts on 30 September at 10pm with Porn on the Brain.
