POPULARITY
On today's episode, I talk to writer and podcaster Dave Holmes. Born in New Jersey, but raised in St. Louis, Dave came to national prominence when he lost the inaugural MTV Wanna Be a VJ contest in 1998. Although very soon after, he was hired by the video channel to host a number of shows including 120 Minutes and TRL. Since then, Dave has led an incredibly varied career, acting in things like the first Fantastic Four film and Reno 911!, hosting podcasts like Homophilia and Troubled Waters, writing the book Party of One: A Memoir in 21 Songs, as well as creating and producing the wonderful limited podcast series Waiting for Impact: A Dave Holmes Passion Project. Just last year, Dave hosted another limited podcast series Who Killed the Video Star: The Story of MTV and currently, continues to be an editor at large for Esquire Magazine!

WELLLLLL that is a wrap on Homophilia, at least for now. But before we go, we want you to hear this conversation with activist/CEO/Pennsylvania State Rep Brian Sims. We're all processing the news from this week, and Brian gets real about what's at stake, what's ahead, and what we can do. Also: meeting a future husband at the P-Town High Tea, The Repair Shop, what makes us cry, why Sarah McBride gives us hope, coming out to a college football team, and why “teddy bear restorer” is the dream job title. To our listeners: thank you for spending an hour a week with us for the last 7-plus years. It's been an honor. We love you.
Backstreet Boys. Nsync. It's hard to overstate how larger than life these groups were in the late ‘90s and ‘00s. While millions of girls screamed over these boy bands, though, the guys in the groups were getting royally screwed by the guy who built them: Lou Pearlman. The fraud goes so deep, and gets so weird. Writer and podcaster Dave Holmes @daveholmes of the Homophilia, Who Killed the Video Star, and Waiting for Impact podcasts joins journalist and pop culture junkie Tess Barker for a dive into this strange and shocking story.

This episode with @DaveHolmes was voted a listener favorite in 2012. Some people know Dave from MTV's Wanna Be a VJ contest, where he was runner-up, his podcast Homophilia or his work in Esquire, but few know his calm exterior often masks panic and anxiety. He and Paul bond over being raised Irish Catholic, hosting interstitial t.v. shows and other similarities. Dave talks about the minefield of coming out to a family with mixed views on gays, his oddly easy time with it in high school and difficult time in college. Paul reads survey responses related to the LGBT community, highlighting where America is at in seeing them as equals and how it makes them feel.More About Dave: Editor-at-Large, Esquire.

Happy Holidays from the Homophilia crew! This week, as a holiday treat, Sam Sanders joins Dave and Matt to discuss their feelings about the year, how quarantine has turned into a peaceful state of living for Sam, and his growing obsession with Dua Lipa. Our hosts ask Sam about growing up without Christmas and haircuts, being a band kid, coming out later in life, and his views now on religion and personal spirituality. And of course, Dave and Matt ask about how Sam met his partner and how communicating on and off the mic helps the relationship thrive.
This week's Homophilia features the brilliant Parvesh Cheena! Matt, Dave, and Parvesh get into quick thoughts of the And Just Like That premiere, as well as binging through Drag Race for the entire pandemie. Parvesh details his time in theater in high school, growing up in the midwest, the days of keeping MTV on all the time, doing improv with our very own Dave Holmes, staying away from Facebook, being grateful for quality animation, and meeting his partner on good old Scruff.
Homophilia podcaster Matt McConkey loves this movie during the holidays because it reminds him of escaping from his family to watch it alone in his room on his laptop, the way that God and SJP intended it to be watched. But it's also all about the spirit of the holidays, being with friends, finding forgiveness, and trying to catch that little flash of peen when your hot neighbor is taking a shower. That is the real Christmas miracle. Matt also tries to tell which Christmas characters are Carries, Charlottes, Mirandas, or Samanthas. Rudolph, definitely a Samantha.

It's a very refreshing week with George Ramsay on this episode of Homophilia. Dave and Matt ask George about breathwork, something Dave has been practicing and loving as of late. They all discuss how George began his career in breathwork, and what is happening in your body while practicing. George also talk about the experience of being closeted in North Carolina, leaving his career in teacher to pursue wellness, and how the practice has changed his life. Dave and Matt also ask George about being a die hard fan of Britney from the beginning, and how he met his partner. Finally you can look forward to a small preview of breath work from George to use during stressful times over the holidays.
