From Queer as Folk to Doctor Who, It's a Sin and now Tiptoe, Russell T Davies has spent 30 years starting conversations that nobody else dares to. And he's not finished yet. In this chat with Josh, Russell opens up about why he wrote Tip Toe, a gripping new drama about two neighbours whose feud grows darker and more dangerous, and how it reflects a world where online anger is spilling into real life with terrifying consequences. He talks candidly about what it still feels like to come out every single day, why the MeToo movement barely scratched the surface, and why he thinks intimacy coordinators on set are essential, not optional. He also gets into why visibility, the very thing he has championed his whole career, may now be making the queer community a bigger target, and why he believes a fight is coming that we all need to be ready for.
In this episode Tommy and Dayna watch and react to part two of the pilot episode of Queer as Folk.
After hosting more than 2,000 guests and living through over 18,000 guest nights, you might think I've seen it all.Trust me, I haven't.In this episode, I explore one of the most fascinating aspects of hosting: the fact that every guest arrives with their own unique interpretation of how the world works. What seems obvious to us may be completely unfamiliar to somebody else.Using a series of real-life hosting stories, I look at how easy it is to judge behaviour through our own lens and how often our first assumptions turn out to be wrong.From leaking mango juice cartons and food-stained carpets to unexpected emotional reactions and misunderstood behaviours, this episode isn't really about guests being strange at all. It's about how our own unconscious prejudices can lead us to create stories that aren't necessarily true.In this episode:• Why "normal" means something different to every guest• What unconscious prejudice really is and how it influences our reactions• The difference between being a judge and being a detective• Why we rarely know the full story behind someone else's behaviour• How curiosity can be more useful than irritation• The hidden lessons that hosting teaches us about human nature• Why some of the most challenging guest interactions can become the most valuable learning experiencesKey TakeawayWhen guests do something unexpected, our first instinct is often to judge their behaviour against our own standards and experiences.But what if the problem isn't the guest?What if we're simply missing part of the story?As hosts, we only ever see one chapter of a person's life when they walk through our front door. The pages that came before are usually hidden from view.Superhost SecretWhen guests do something unexpected, get curious before adopting any other emotion.If we can replace irritation with curiosity, judgement with understanding, and assumptions with questions, we may discover that there was a perfectly reasonable explanation all along.Memorable Quote"We know nothing of a guest's past. We have no context. We only see the chapter of their life that walks through our front door."Want to Learn More About Hosting?I'm running regular online webinars for aspiring and existing hosts where I share the lessons I've learned from ten years of hosting, over 2,000 guests and more than 18,000 guest nights.If you'd like to discover how your own home could become an income-generating asset, check the webinar registration link below.Connect with NeilInstagram: @SuperhostNeilPodcast: The Airbnb Superhost PodcastSharing ten years of real-world hosting experience, one guest story at a time.

Outcast World goes live from Manchester Pride 2025 with Graeme Smith and Nick Charles right at the heart of the action hosting a podcast and radio show from the site on the afternoon of Graeme's stag doo in the city!As well as speaking to some modern Manchester queer icons and old school pop legends, we're essentially hosting the entire podcast outside on the street whilst getting ready to go "out out". For one of the last Big Pride's of the season we're headed back up North.Singer and Manchester broadcaster Jsky opens up about being refused entry to Village venues as a queer person of colour — for reasons still unknown — and reflects on the power of finally performing on the Pride stage in his home city.We also sit down with trans masculine legend and Kerrang! Radio host Paris Munro, who calls out companies for paying lip service to trans rights and questions the growing commercialisation of Pride, with festival-goers often forced to pay for multiple tickets.Graeme and Nick share their own emotional stories of queer awakenings in Manchester before revisiting the 90s classic Queer as Folk, the Russell T Davies series that put Canal Street on the map.And yes — we catch up with B*Witched on the phone from their dressing room (how 90s) Keavy from the band gets into the essential stuff like whether they ever imagined double denim would be their legacy. She also has an important take on Pride and its impertinence in the current climate It's Pride, politics, and pop all wrapped up in one very Manchester episode.
The girls take a little summer break, but they've got a GREAT rewind show with musician Elliot Lee, comedian, writer, Jami Smith of Songs That Saved My Life substack, and one of our favourite guests, Queer As Folk's Michelle Clunie! Happy Pride! (watch the show here on our YouTube channel by clicking this link)

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom It has been a little while since I've discussed Queer as Folk so I thought why not have on a queer media expert to not only recap episode 13 but also discuss whether the TV show is still relevant in today's culture? Jonathan Yaskoff is a talented film director, producer, and actor who recently starred in the film Bear Week Diaries (all about the iconic Provincetown Bear Week)! He was recently in the film Smothered By Mothers which stars actress Heather Matarazzo. And if you're a Real Housewives of Miami fan, you may remember him as the producer of Adriana De Moura's music video Fyah (when the women were all having a meltdown haha). We discuss some of the key storylines in Queer as Folk, like sleeping with your boss (definitely a no no), conversion therapy, and the wild parties at Babylon. Then, Jonathan reveals the behind the scenes of filming Reality TV and what it's like being on the Real Housewives. And, because Jonathan has been both behind and on the camera, he discusses his thoughts on sex scenes, nudity, and consent culture. Get ready for quite a dynamic conversation!

Young who recently published "Coming Out Republican: A History of the Gay Right." Episode 12 of QAF, "Move It Or Lose It" explores Michael and David's moving dilemmas, the harmful effects of conversion therapy, and gay politics! Neil is a historian who specializes in LGBTQ politics, specifically the history of gay men and the republican party. Neil cannot believe that Michael and David think it's a good idea to move in together when it seems like they don't even know each other's interests and lifestyle. When it comes to Emmett's conversion therapy storyline, Neil has so many thoughts about how unrealistic and poorly done these scenes are. When it comes to politics in this show, Andrew remarks that rarely do any of the characters speak openly about political parties or current political issues of the time. While the characters don't talk extensively about politics, most seem to hold similar liberal views. But, Neil explains that while a majority of the LGBTQ community are liberal, there has always been a segment of gay republicans.

While Florida recovers from back-to-back Hurricanes, Denise and JD put together a great compilation of part of our chats with Celeste Pechous, from "Work In Progress", Michelle Bonilla who's started on "ER" playing one of the first recurring lesbians on network TV and most recently in "911 Lone Star", and the new show "High Potential" -then of course, Michelle Clunie from the long running, ground-breaking "Queer As Folk". These ladies all have been proud to represent new, different, accurate LGBTQIA parts and we loved chatting with them. To watch it on our YouTube Channel, click this link.
For this episode, we're diving into a comparison of Queer as Folk – both the original UK version and the US adaptation. We'll explore the differences in tone, storytelling, and character development, reflecting the cultural contexts of late '90s Britain and early 2000s America. We'll discuss the principal cast, from Aidan Gillen's bold Stuart in the UK to Gale Harold's complex Brian in the US, alongside other key characters like Nathan, Vince, and Michael. We'll also look at the creative vision of Russell T Davies for the UK series, versus Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman's expanded approach for the US version, touching on the impact each had on LGBTQ+ representation and television as a whole. This one's for fans of both versions, so join us for a deep dive into the iconic series that helped change the landscape of queer media!

As the author of "The Paradox of P*rn: Notes on Gay Male S*xual Culture" and most recently "Daddy Lover God: A Sacred Intimate Journey," Don is an expert on gay male culture and psycho-s*xual-spiritual journeys. While he was a fan of the British version of QAF, Don offers a critical perspective of the American version. He explains that in his opinion, it promotes harmful stereotypes and lacks authenticity in its depiction of gay life. With Andrew, Don explores the show's treatment of aging and intergenerational relationships within the gay community. As an expert on pleasure, adult s*x education, and spiritual practice, Don provides a refreshing perspective on QAF's treatment of relationships, intimacy, and communication.

Hey Diners! We are popping in to say hi and to give you a quick little update. We are still settling into the new year, but Queer As Folk is never too far from our minds.
I have been fortunate to interview Del Shores (Sordid Lives Creator) multiple times throughout the years.After working in the entertainment industry for more than three decades as a Director, Producer, and Writer, Del is finally making his NYC theatrical directorial debut with Jiggs Burgess' play Wounded.I am so excited to catch up with Del because I always have great conversations with him. In this NEW interview, Del is Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:Making his NYC theatrical directorial debutOne thing he hasn't done because something or someone got in the wayOne path his life took that he would like to put on full displayWorking with Whoopi Goldberg & Caroline RheaAn update on the Sordid Lives FranchiseSo much moreWounded, by Jiggs Burgess, is about a repressed nobody who thinks of himself as somebody. An addict. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? played out between hummingbirds. And a pussy eating dog. This is Wounded. Carrol could've been somebody, after all his book, The Crimson Valise, was made into a movie. Yet somehow Carrol's unhealed past, and an aging mother, got in the way. On the other hand, Carrol's classmate, Robert, was smart and driven. Went to one of the best private universities in the country on scholarship. But his damage led him down the path of addiction and eventually prison. In this darkest of comedies, the bleak paths our lives can lead us down are on full display. ***Warning: Recommended for adult audiences. Contains language of a sexual and violent nature.***Wounded plays at the Soho Playhouse as part of the International Fringe Encore Series from January 24-February 11, 2024.More on Del Shores:Del Shores is the writer/director/producer of the films Sordid Lives, Blues for Willadean, Southern Baptist Sissies and A Very Sordid Wedding.

Hello Diners! We are so excited to share part of E'Shel's interview with Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman, the showrunners behind Queer As Folk. The conversation touches a bit on character backstories, found-family dynamics, and the social and political setting of the time.
Peter Paige is an American actor, director, and screenwriter. He is best known for his portrayal of Emmet Honeycutt in the gay drama Queer as Folk. His debut as a director and writer was on the film Say Uncle. Topics: Peter's path to acting which led to his path as a writer/director; his experience acting on Queer As Folk--how that hurt and helped what came after; being a queer actor in Hollywood (in the 90s). The first part of the show was about creativity, the entertainment industry, and what's involved when pursuing a career in the arts. The second half we talked politics, and activism. A positive and fun conversation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Content warning: This interview contains some explicit language and graphic, frank talk about sex that some listeners might be sensitive to. Ryan O'Connell is the creator and star of the Netflix show Special. It's a semi-autobiographical sitcom about Ryan's own life – his experience as a gay man, and coming to terms with his identity as a disabled person. Ryan has cerebral palsy. It's a congenital disorder that can affect someone's movement, muscle tone, or posture. For Ryan, that means CP mainly manifests as a limp. The show's depiction of disability is groundbreaking. It shows the intersection of disability and sexuality in a way that is rarely ever seen on screen. These days, Ryan is currently starring in the new reboot of Queer As Folk. On the latest episode, we'll revisit public radio veteran Ray Suarez in conversation with Ryan from last year.
Now wait a minute. Of course you know our guests in The Carriage House are the cream of the crop, but our guest this week might be in the midst of having his best week ever, pardon me. We're so excited to welcome none other than actor, writer, and activist Ryan O'Connell! You know Ryan from his delightful Emmy-nominated Netflix show SPECIAL, but he's got TWO new projects coming out this week, excuse me. His new book, JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM is being released TODAY, and his new TV series, a reboot of QUEER AS FOLK, premieres June 9th on Peacock. Ryan joins us to help give advice about a clingy friend, battling addiction, and always being the one to initiate meeting friends. The time has passed to join AR Social Club for the month of June, but, luckily for you, there's PLENTY of time to join for July! Just visit arsocialclub.com (or, yes, arsocial.club works too) and subscribe before July 1st for entry.
Uh... Stunning Talent On The Pod Alert! Ryan O'Connell joins the women of Las Cultch ahead of the release of both his debut novel Just By Looking At Him (out June 7th) and Peacock's Queer As Folk, on which he writes and also stars (out June 9th)! The three discuss their origins as snarky internet gays, splurging on ridiculous rideshares, working with Kim Cattrall (who plays Ryan's mom on QAF.... gag), horny photo shoots, how Kim Petras commands gays with her voice, relationships to the original Queer As Folk, and living on the same street where they filmed Erin Brockovich (the part where she's poor and amongst cockroaches). Also, thoughts on this season's RHOBH, how being a reality star alters the psyche, Gregg Araki, the goddess Parker Posey, and formative indie films of the 90's. Would YOU give your dog a human's name? What would it be? Think about that while you press PLAY on this episode... of LAS CULTURISTAS. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
