This week I have the pleasure of sitting down with TikTok's new favourite gay couple Jake & Max, who have amassed over 100K followers combined since their first post 5 months ago.  I find myself playing the role of amateur therapist (dream job) and getting personal with the boys to see how they went from a match on Hinge, to five years strong.

This week we are going [ALL IN] on LGBTQ+ travel with Lonely Planet's Senior Director and Brand Spokesperson Chris Zeiher. As you'll hear in this interview the pink pound is real, and we all know gays love to travel.

Chris has visited more than 70 countries in his time at Lonely Planet, and shares his knowledge for best places for solo travellers, romantic breaks, party holidays, winter trips, best in food, and of course Chris's personal favourite places he's ever been to - And some of the answers may surprise you.You can buy The Lonely Planet Ultimate 'LGBTQ+ Travel Guide' using this link: https://amzn.to/4lFesLUSupport the showFor clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

The infamous high school TV romance of John Paul and Craig in Hollyoaks in 2007 still resonates with gay men today. This week's guest actor James Sutton, who has been portraying John Paul McQueen on the Channel 4 soap for the past 18 years, sits down with us and tells us how playing such a prominent gay character on British TV has helped shape him as a straight man. Support the showFor clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

'It will never be erased. But it doesn't mean it will always be remembered' - Matthew Mitcham on his historic Olympic gold win. Matthew is the first openly gay man to win gold in Beijing 2008, cementing his status as an LGBT+ legend in sporting history. In his most candid interview yet, Matthew sits down with us and tells us about his struggles with addiction and his deep longing to 'feel special'. You'd think an Olympic gold would satisfy any man's desire for validation, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. Following Matthew's win he fell in to another depression and began using substances again, in what he describes as the infamous 'Olympic come down'. With endorsement deals non existent and Matthew's achievements seemingly forgotten by popular media, comparisons with other LGBT+ athletes began to creep in. Matthew exclusively shares the full story with 'All Out with Jon Dean' in this intimate interview with a sporting trailblazer, who will go down in history as the very first 'Gay Going for Gold'.Support the showFor clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

Why does it feel like everybody on the internet is talking about ADHD? Statistically LGBT+ people are more likely to be neurodivergent, and more adults than ever are getting ADHD and autism diagnoses. This week we sit down with the only TV presenter in the UK with tourette's Aidy Smith, and go [ALL IN] on neurodiversity and the impact an adult diagnosis can have of a person's life. We get personal and discuss our own struggles with depression and how this is often misdiagnosed, and whether medication can indeed transform your life. If you're neurodivergent and LGBT+, please get in touch to share your experience, and DM us on Instagram @watchallout.The information in this podcast episode is for information purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Ben Andrews AKA Farmer Ben, is a full-time farmer living and working on the family farm in Herefordshire. Growing up Ben often felt like the only gay in the village, but fortunately one poorly hidden attitude magazine later he managed to get an insight in to a world beyond the girl in the field next door. After 18 months in London, Ben happily settled back to the farm; and don't let the occasional thirst trap by the tractor fool you, life on the farm isn't what you might expect (or is that, hope...)Support the showFor clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

Welcome to PART 2 of our [ALL IN] special with testosterone specialist and sex therapist Dr. Ben Davis. In this episode we take a look at the psychology behind what may be causing sexual problems that aren't related to testosterone deficiency. We will also be discussing wider sexual concerns that Dr. Ben has observed in his time working with gay and straight patients. As well as how it might be individuals and couples can re-engage sexually and find confidence in the bedroom, as well as the fascinating world of kinks and pleasure, and how a person can access the erotic corners of their mind. The information in this podcast episode is for information purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

This week we are joined by LGBTQ+ activist Jonathan Blake, in a conversation which may be the most important so far on this podcast - One of remembering the times of the AIDS epidemic, as told by Jonathan who was one of the UK's first people to be diagnosed with HIV, and who went on to defy the prognosis he was given of 3-9 months to live. Jonathan now 75, sits down with us and reflects on why it might be he survived, the people he loved and lost, and the choices he made - Most importantly perhaps being the one to choose life. Support the showFor clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

Ben studied medicine at The University of Cambridge and has a PhD focused on men's emotional and sexual well-being.

If you've ever watched porn (and who hasn't) you've probably seen or heard of London's Josh Moore. PornHub's Gay Performer of the Year 2023, a top 0.2% OnlyFans creator, and a decade of experience under his belt, Josh is one of the industry's most in-demand stars. With a penis that was once insured for £500 a month, and a group of 'mega-fans' that check in with him daily - his job is far from the typical 9-5. In this week's episode we get an insight in to the unbelievably lucrative world of sex online, what it really takes to be an elite performer, and how Josh navigates relationships when boyfriends outside of OnlyFans get jealous. For clips and exclusive content please follow us on Instagram and TikTok:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchalloutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@watchalloutJoin the majority of fans and watch the full show on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@watchalloutAn original podcast by gimmehttps://gimmevideo.co.uk/

Jack Guinness is the author of The Queer Bible and host of the Queerphoria podcast. After graduating from Cambridge Uni, Jack went in to modelling, featuring in campaigns for brands such as L'Oreal, Dunhill and D&G. In this episode we revisit Jack's challenging time at university, and how not being open about your sexuality in these earlier years can seriously impact your health and relationships. We discuss how some gay men don't particularly like the word queer; Jack's shift from pursuing opportunities based on fame and ego to amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, and how Jack has always strived to have fun and take risks, as he admittedly never wanted a boring life. 

All Out with Jon Dean invites you to a one-of-a-kind round table discussion. Introducing Meat Club, a sit down with a small group of gay men who share their unique perspectives on a particular subject which affects all of their lives. In this episode we will be focussing on three of the most common routes to become an LGBTQ parent: surrogacy, adoption and sperm donation.

Listen on all audio platforms or watch the full show on YouTube.

Darren Kennedy is a Dublin born television presenter, style expert and founder of men's grooming brand Kennedy and Co. Splitting his time between the US and Ireland, having recently moved to Los Angeles, Darren has been at the forefront of many conversations around gay parenting and the legalisation of gay marriage in Ireland back in the mid 2010s, and now in Hollywood it looks as though his career in entertainment is only getting stronger. 

Sam Morris: Author, business owner, photographer, erotica maker. This week we unpack the world of a successful sex worker, the relationship between gay men and intimacy, and how we might be living in a culture lacking authentic and much needed connection. 

[ALL IN] Is a new side series brought to you by All Out with Jon Dean where we sit down with experts, specialists and professionals in a particular field. This week we are discussing the power of breathwork with London based breathing coach Paddy Cavendish. Paddy shares with us the surprising benefits of implementing breathwork techniques in to your daily routine. His clients have experienced life-changing results from reduced anxiety, the release of physical pain, improvements with sleep and the heightened pleasure you can have during sex, if you can just learn to...relax. 

Academy Award-winning film producer Iain Canning, co-founder of production company See-Saw Films, has produced movies and television shows such as The Kings Speech, Lion, Shame and Netflix's Heartstopper. He describes receiving his Oscar from Steven Spielberg at age 31, as a total out of body experience, and potentially one of the gayest moments of his life. More so by the Oscar's organisers asking them to regroup on stage and sing a rendition of Judy Garland's 'Over The Rainbow'. Iain is a champion of diverse story-telling and thinks we best focus our energy on seeing gay actors in straight roles, rather than the other way round. 

Graham Cruz, stylist and womenswear designer is famous for his handmade, one of a kind creations, and has been capturing the hearts of celebrities and fashion lovers alike. His bespoke pieces have been worn by some of the world's most famous women such as Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, the Kardashians and Beyonce. He confidently doesn't give a f**k what people think about what he wears - and actually, why should we too?

Mista Strange has been named the UK's first openly gay rapper. The London born artist has been making waves in the music industry since he came out at the age of 19, and his songs about sex and loving men continue to blow up expectations of what rap music sounds like. Strange discusses how he loves feminine men, his views on gay stereotypes, and why people from his background 'just don't come out'. 

Toby Perryman-Payne is an interior designer and has been running the hugely successful Instagram account @TobysHome for over 3 years now. He's a podcaster with his own interiors show ‘You, Me & Design' which he does with his husband Mikey, and if you follow Toby you'll have seen his renovation journey doing up a dream countryside home. The curation of a ‘perfect life', in regard to what we see about someone online, isn't to be taken at face value, as Toby tells us by sharing his experience, the dream was not always the reality. 

This week we sit down with Mark McAdam - Sky Sports' only out gay male reporter. Mark shares his unique insight in being the only gay man in the Sky Sports village, and we discuss the waves that would follow a Premier League footballer's coming out. And whether the industry, the players and the fans are even ready. 

Jake Shears, co-lead vocalist of the band Scissor Sisters who had massive success in the 2000/10s, with songs such as 'Take Your Mama' and the queer mega-hit 'Let's Have A Kiki', continues his success as a stage and screen actor, solo artist, and is currently back in New York taking his new musical 'Tammy Faye' to Broadway (which he is the lyricist of, collaborating with Elton John on music). Yet surprisingly Jake asks the question: 'When will life get started?'. 

This week we're joined by singer, songwriter, pop and dance music star Louis III. Born in South London with Saint Lucian heritage, in this episode we discuss Louis' rise in the music industry, and how it feels to discover your sexuality and come out under the gaze of a fan base. We look at the evolution of a pop career from writing music about girls to writing music about boys, and the challenges that come with holidaying in Saint Lucia, a place extremely close to Louis' heart, when you have to explain to your boyfriend you can no longer kiss in public. 

This week we sit down with Jonathan Daniel Pryce, known in the photography world as GarconJon. Jonathan is an award winning fashion photographer with over ten years experience shooting street style internationally, has published four books including Amazon best seller ‘Garcon Style', his work's been featured in publications including Vogue, Vanity Fair and The New York Times and he's known for his nostalgic, romantic imagery and ability to capture soul in his portraits. In this week's episode we discuss Jonathan's journey in to photography, a shared appreciation for therapy, and how you never know who's going to be the most confident when naked in front of the camera. 

This week we're joined by Danyl Johnson. In 2009 Danyl appeared on the UK's X factor, and blew the judges away, with what Simon Cowell said was ‘single handedly the best first audition' he's ever heard. Danyl went on to come fourth, and his appearance on the show wasn't without its controversies… He's now one of the faces of the People's post code lottery, which he says is ‘the best job in the world', dishing out cheques for upwards of 1 million pounds to houses all over the UK.

This week we're joined by Tuvia Borok, a 20 year qualified lawyer and Managing Director at Goldman Sachs. In this episode we explore what it's like to be gay in the corporate world, Tuvia's own challenges with finding his feet in the workplace, and how he believes gay leaders should genuinely help those coming up the ranks. We discuss parenting, and how Tuvia's faced confusion and even judgement from other gay men when becoming a father, along with retelling some difficult memories when Tuvia came millimetres away from full body paralysis and the impact this had on his life. Check out Tuvia's own podcast on link below:https://open.spotify.com/show/6YbAb9pKH6pp05VVKcBaCV?si=5d17e5b5133742de

This week we sit down with gay man's fitness coach, entrepreneur and head honcho at GAYNS run club, Connor Minney. Connor shares he's just come off the back of the worst year of his life, as the business he co-founded 3 years ago came up against some serious market pressures. Ever the entrepreneur, Connor has gone solo and started a new fitness brand and weekly run club called GAYNS, offering an online community and Saturday meet-up for gay men. We discuss how looking good, doesn't always equal feeling good; how comfortable it is for gay couples to show PDA, and the unique dynamic between same-sex partners where you might not only want to sleep with their body, but have their body. 

Tag Warner, a Forbes 30 under 30 honouree, is a proven game changer in the industry. After becoming CEO of GAY TIMES at the age of 24, Tag has overseen some impressive changes within the company and overcome some ‘healthy scepticism' at the start of his tenure. His considered and forward-thinking approach to elevating the brand, and collaborations with LGBTQ+ people that he continues to listen to and learn from, has made GAY TIMES one of the most trusted and recognised queer media companies in the world. A self-described introvert, Tag's diary is usually flooded with meetings, travelling, press events and so on, which Tag admits keeps him in a steady state of 'performance mode'. In this episode we discuss what makes Tag so highly motivated, how essential alone time is to reset, and whether people even recognise you when you're not in that mode they expect of you. 

James Barr's weekly schedule definitely justifies his occasional need for an afternoon nap. Kicking off the morning on Hits Radio Breakfast, to late evening stand-up gigs, it's impressive he has the stamina for writing, podcasting, the occasional appearance on Piers Morgan, and (in his words) 'sleeping around'. James is currently working on a new show, where he candidly opens up about his experience with domestic abuse. A shocking and important commentary on a sadly all to common experience, particularly in LGBTQ+ relationships, James invites us to find the funny, as he aims to open discussion and heal through laughter. James is no stranger to hate online and discusses how he 'sometimes finds it scary to leave the house'. But it's clear it won't stop him from taking a seat at the table, and ultimately, the hate comments prove to be comedy gold. 

Baby Reindeer costume designer and celebrity stylist Mekel Bailey, has taken a more unusual path to get to where he is today. Having fought off imposter syndrome, Mekel dedicated months of his life and countless hours in London's charity shops to help bring the characters of Donny and Martha to life, heading up the costume team on this year's Netflix hit Baby Reindeer. His time working closely with stars such as Kelly Rowland and Drake, as well as being a part of the styling for Nicki Minaj's breakthrough album Pink Friday, has all contributed to making his presence known in the industry. A father, a fitness lover, a 4am runner, Mekel discusses what it takes to work on such an intense schedule, and how ultimately it's all worth it. 

You may have spotted Sam Salter on the cover of Attitude Magazine, seen him starring in Swan Lake, or admired his killer style online. Sam has a strong social media following and continues to collaborate with some of the world's biggest fashion brands. A professionally trained dancer having attended world-famous Sylvia Young Theatre School, he's now got his sights set on acting. In this episode we reflect on Sam's career and life experiences so far. We discuss the challenges Sam's faced with romantic relationships, how frustrating it can be when people pigeon-hole you career-wise, and contrary to what you might think, how he can be highly critical of himself.  

Comedian Christopher Hall is a man to watch. He's a stand-up comic, an unofficial background singer to the likes of Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani and The Jonas Brothers, and an undeniable social media star. His observational humour and popular online content has amassed him a combined following of over 1 million people on Instagram and TikTok, all from trying his hand at comedy during lockdown. We discuss how losing all of his work during covid lead him to start making funny videos, how him and his sister went from singing in to broken mic stands to standing behind mega-stars, and how men in London are seemingly too busy to date. 

Joshua James is a DJ who's name you'll no doubt find on some of the UK and Europe's hottest queer line-ups. We talk his journey to becoming a DJ, starting from a smoking area conversation to how he finds the confidence to make a room of 9000 people party; his thoughts on whether young people really aren't going out as much and whether he'll be that guy on the boat in a bikini at 70, still dancing.
