The HOPECAST Hosts must have been excited to see each other as we didn’t stop talking after saying hello, which means this episode starts at “how are you?” and takes us to some very interesting places covering the spectrum of birth, death and marriage. We talk about how to flirt - and how not to - in different languages. Anders shares his favourite Swedish pick-up line: “hello biscuit, are you dropping crumbs?”. We learn that Nick likes beards, Yassir doesn’t want to be treated like a piece of meat, Matt communicates through the medium of dance and Paul speaks his truth about the night he met ..read more

What a week. Our Anders takes the wheel and invites us to pause and take stock of what makes us hopeful in these dark, difficult and turbulent times. He shines a light into the gloomy rabbit holes of life and gives us all a lesson in how to hope. He has questions! What is making you hopeful? What is giving you energy? What can you do to keep your head above water? Remember: There is energy in listing the things that bring hope.

Matthew and Jarry met on a dance job where they pushed furniture around and partied hard. These days, Jarry is on a mission. To fight time, to stay happy in her skin and to shake off the obsession with perfection that started in the crucible of ballet school. We talk about friendship and eleganza weddings, hopes and wishes. Welcome to our first ever GUESTcast! And we have questions! Is it ok that Christian Bale in American Psycho is an object of lust? How can we create friendship groups based on love and support? What would a healthcare system that celebrated difference look like? Should we j ..read more

We did it Joe! We finally got all six of us on the same episode, and just in time to celebrate HOPECAST’s first birthday. Can you believe we’ve been doing this podcast for a year and didn’t know Oliver was a Pocket Gay and Anders is a giant? We take a look back, and forward, probing deep into each others’ hopes and dreams. Of course we do. It’s our birthday and we’ll pry if we want to. No more spoilers. Enjoy the party!

Yassir is feeling hopeful for Spring, Oliver is getting older and Paul gaysplains Cabaret. So how do we get from there to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock? Well, it’s very HOPEcast. We talk about the many layers of masculinity and how they can cover the divine feminine. What’s the role of masculinity, patriarchy and maleness in the future? We get into it! And we have questions! How do we reconcile being men who love men when men are often the problem? Where exactly does Paul think he’s wearing a Wonder Woman costume? Why are we only just finding out that Oliver designs closets? How did Yassir e ..read more

It’s a two hander this week (shouldn’t that be four hander? Or is that something else?) with Matthew and Paul diving into conversations on the value of therapy, safe spaces and creating trust. Matthew is about to celebrate his 30+1 so it’s a time to reflect on who he was, is and will be. Spoiler: Amazing. And we have questions: Is Paul using HOPECAST as a replacement for paying a therapist? Should Matthew start an OnlyFans? What does it mean when a fox crosses your path? How can we de-sexy busy?

Welcome to our Festive Freak Out! It’s all happening. Nick pulled a man in the street minutes before we recorded. Paul went to a gay pantomime. Matthew has been entertaining London. It’s a lot, and it’s all very HOPECAST. And we have questions! Do we really have to make every bite epic? Is there an antidote to ‘what if’ catastrophising? What’s the best way to deal with insults hurled from a van?

Nick is a natural storyteller. He can take an ordinary moment and find the most beautiful golden chunks of wisdom in it, so much so that we don’t want to spoil anything about this SOLOcast. Instead, just give yourself 20 uninterrupted minutes to relax, enjoy the tale and dive in.
