She told us about first realizing that he was different and how overwhelmed she was when coming to terms with it.Erin's love for her kids is obvious when speaking to her but it doesn't stop her from being honest about the challenges of seeing your child struggle or opening up about her concerns about who's going to look after Harry when she gets older.This podcast includes a paid advertisement by BetterHelp.

If you know your Paso Doble from your Foxtrot and winter weekends aren't complete without a glimpse of the coveted glitterball and the tears and triumphs of a dance-off, then you'll be very familiar with Ryan McShane. The Lurgan native is one of the professional dancers on Ireland's Dancing With The Stars since the show began in 2017, where he has taken his celebrity partners through their paces before facing the scrutiny of both judges and viewers alike. For this week's podcast, Ryan spills the beans on how the audition process at Britains Got Talent really works and what it's like behind the scenes on Dancing with the Stars. The talented dancer has had plenty of highs and lows on DWTS. He survived three dance-offs with Erin McGregor – the sister of UFC fighter Conor – more than any other professional in the history of the show. He received three perfect 10s in the final of the first series with actress Denise McCormack. They didn't win but Ryan won the heart of his model girlfriend Thalia Heffernan who was also a contestant. Ryan was also partnered with B*Witched singer Sinead O'Carroll and Mrs Brown's Boys star Eilish O'Carroll, who he says was one of the nicest human beings he has ever met. Ryan fills us in on the secret to getting the best from his students – be they celebrities or kids or adults who teaches ballroom and Latin to. He tells us what his favourite dance is and which is the hardest to learn. Ryan tells us about life in lockdown with Thalia and their two dogs. And what the future holds for them since Thalia signed for IMG – one of the biggest modelling agencies in the world.

This week on the show I am pulling a story from the queer public archives. I recorded and released this content in 2015 and a ton of people downloaded it. It’s actually how I knew that people wanted more real-life queer life in their earbuds. Dani and Scott’s story was one of the first I reported on - but it’s remained entirely relevant. You see, I’ve always been curious about what makes two people candidates for friendship after a breakup. My politics about staying friends with exes formed while I was a tiny liberal arts school in Quebec, barely out and with a very small friend circle of queer friends and lovers. I thought it was a no brainer, we stay friends with our exes because there weren’t that many of us queers around. But now that I live in a large city and not a tiny liberal arts school, I’m more critical of that concept because sometimes it’s not a good idea, sometimes people aren’t good for each other. Sometimes not enough time passes and it gets messy. But more often than not, a relationship without romance and intimacy is just a really solid friendship. That’s what we miss in a breakup. The companionship. The mutual support and respect. Someone to confide in. We miss having a teammate. I think Dani and Scott are the perfect example of that. This is Friends with Exes. All the music you heard this episode is by them under their bandname Team Mate. You heard “Hi” “All heart” “Don’t let me let you go” and this song - called “Sequel” which chronicles their journey together. Follow Teammate on Instagram and stream them now on Spotify and Apple Music. This story was produced by me, Erin McGregor and the interview was edited by the multi-talented multimedia producer Andy Alseri. I want to hear from you, dear listeners.

Today we’re talking about all the places we go looking for ourselves. And right at our fingertips is the world of television—the good, the bad, the guilty pleasures and the transformative works of art. And in this technicolor world, sometimes we see ourselves, and sometimes—even in 2019–we don’t. Today we’re asking, what do we do as queer people, to transform the media we consume into truer, fuller representations of ourselves? In this episode, we’re talking to a bunch of rad queers. And None of us are pop-culture critics, and we’re not here to tell you what to watch or what not to watch. We’re here, as friends, to talk about some things we’ve loved and bonded over as queer people.
