067: Abba Voyage Sex Dungeon

067: Abba Voyage Sex Dungeon

After a heatwave break, we dive straight in by admiring Paul's pearl necklace, and it's downhill from there as we contemplate the craziness of the world right now before discussing Monkeypox, Eyeball Gas Bubbles, Sex Robots and wishing our favourite buddhist Nick a happy birthday. It's good to be back! And we have questions:

- Would you have cybernetic implants or accept the inevitability of a decaying old body?

- What kind of Virtual Reality Sex Dungeon would you sell your digital self to?

- Do we know when to step away from p0*nHub if it gets unhealthy?

Remember: Sex is a spectrum.

065: Grab Freedom By The Harness

065: Grab Freedom By The Harness

Life is busy. There isn't time to stop, reflect or even have a bowl of Frosties before recording a podcast. So Paul and Anders take some time to reflect on choices, spontenaity and the madness of the 8 hour work day. If you're about to listen to this while multitasking, maybe give yourself permission to just sit and be still for a while. Yes, we're hypocrites, pay no mind. And we have questions:

- Why is freedom so frightening?

- How can we find ways to express our most true selves in our work?

- Does anyone like being grabbed by the balls?

Remember: Fly and Be Yourself.

064: Paul vs Wall

Paul is flying solo this week, or rather sitting solo as he experiments with The Marina Ambramovic Method and records a whole hour of himself staring at a wall. Seriously. It's the best or worst podcast you'll ever listen to. Let us know @HOPECASTPODCAST 

Remember: Marina Abramovic is an evil genius.

063: Gay people don't steal phones

063: Gay people don't steal phones

Matthew had his phone stolen at Mighty Hoopla so the HOPECAST crew turn into the Scooby Gang and workshop ideas for how he might get it back. Not all of them are particularly ethical, just FYI. This leads us to a discussion on surrendering control, the universe intervening in our lives and whether eternal freedom is worth giving up an arm for. And we have questions:

- How many lifetimes does it take to pay off karmic debt?

- Why do we want the things we want?

- Is it possible to miss something we've never had?

Remember: We don't have to make any sense of this

062: Here we are as Elders

062: Here we are as Elders

Yassir and Nick share the space, reflecting on what it means to navigate their 50s and beyond. Nick plans on living to a healthy 100 years old and shares some tips on how he expects to get there. Yassir contemplates how to stay fit and mentally alert, without the aid of liposuction. Strap yourselves into your stairlifts, we’re going deep!

And we have questions:

  • Will science save the younglings?
  • How do we deal with internalised hatred of our ageing bodies?
  • Do six pack abs really matter?
  • What helps us connect to our creative centres?

Remember: Who I am is not how I look.

061: Bootcuts and Booty Shorts

Oliver and Paul get together to put the world to rights on the verge of Oliver’s 40th birthday! We reflect on the transformation that happens in our fifth decade, talk about finding meaning in work and being ok with putting your heart and soul out there. Also Paul explains to Oliver what a Page Three girl is. And we have questions:

  • What’s the fashion for younger twinks these days?
  • Do we go through life changing outfits?
  • How do we claim the name we want?
  • Can you really still call yourself ‘youth’ in your 30’s?

Remember: Keep blooming.

058: Queering the Fruit

058: Queering the Fruit

Yassir and Paul are getting all arty on your ass in this episode of HOPECAST. Paul almost lost it in the new Queer Britain gallery and Yassir wonders if painting fruit is really all that queer. We dive into discussions on queer art and representation, weaving through the dense tapestry that is the art world. And we have questions!

- Why are queer people and women in particular erased from the history of art?

- Can you ever really separate the art from the artist?

- Should we assume a man in tight white pants in a 1400's painting is gay?

Remember: HOPECAST is an example of Queer Art :)

057: The People of Order and Disorder with Andrew Seedall

Andrew Seedall is a Queer Playwright, drama practitioner and informal educator. He’s also Catholic, so we thought it would be interesting to bring him and Anders together to talk about what it’s like to be a person of faith in the LGBTQ+ Community. Spoiler: there’s less drama than you’d expect. They talk beautifully about their experiences and spill the tea on what it’s really like to be an alter boy. Thanks to Andrew for being an amazing guest! Follow him on Instagram @NorthernFlicks or visit his website www.andrewseedall.com

056: Be a PhD of your own life

It's Friday night and we're getting crazy! We're so excited that Oliver is rocking the mic in his first ever SOLOcast and you'll be unsurprised to know that he nails it. Oliver begins with life after death and then reflects on the compassion he has shown to himself in hearing his own voice. This episode is a beautiful extended meditation on acknowledging our own complete selves. Luxuriate in this soul spa!

Remember: We truly appreciate you.

055: Look at me, I'm peeing!

055: Look at me, I'm peeing!

We’re coming in hot and wet this week. Paul is about to be unemployed (gulp) and he wants to know how best to shape this emerging new future. Luckily Yassir is on hand to create a container for the chaos. How can routine and rituals bring some structure to a potentially empty day? 

Get ready to take notes!  

And we have questions:

  • How can we be grateful for things we don’t enjoy?
  • Do other people scroll through their phone while peeing or just us?
  • Are phone notifications a good thing or a bad thing?

Remember: If you’re gonna pee just pee.

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!

053: Picking dandelions on the baseball field

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 end up leaving a pair of heels on an Atlantis cruise?

Remember: Half the race is drama.

052: Complete and Utter Ecstasy with Grant Shepherd

052: Complete and Utter Ecstasy with Grant Shepherd

Take a deep breath. Nick and Paul are joined by VERY special guest Grant Shepherd to talk all things queer tantra, a practice and belief that working with and celebrating our sexual energy can transform us. Grant describes himself as a fierce advocate for gay men’s sexuality who went from muscles, drugs and disco to meditation, chanting and tantra. He encourages gay men to practice Self Like and loving touch as a route to self acceptance. You are going to love this!

And we have questions:

  • Did Sting really invent tantric sex?
  • Is tantra an antidote to spunking potential family against the wall?
  • If orgasms are like death should we fear them or embrace them?
  • In our busy lives who has time for two hour orgasms?

Remember: If it wasn’t for sex nothing would exist.

👋 WHAT'S UP FELLOW KIDS! 🥳 The youth have taken over 🙈 This is their show now 👨‍❤️‍👨 It's their moment in the spotlight 🌞 and they are TAKING IT 💅 OMG 🍆 LOL 💋 BBZ 🐍

Matthew and Anders enjoy some alone time without the old folk and immediately start talking about the weather and commuting routes to work. Those wild and crazy youngsters! Thankfully it doesn't take long to slide into the gay culture of gyms, swim team Speedos and eyeballing men on beaches.

And we have questions!

  • What's the difference between a dunk and a bit of rough & tumble?
  • Where do we sign up for the Heavy Gang?
  • Would you trade youth for solitude?
  • How do we connect our tentacles to something bigger?

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?

Remember: We’re not just getting older, we’re getting better.

048: Immediate Hope Boost

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.

047: What are you into?

Nick just bought a snake whip for his new place because The Flogger was feeling lonely, and really we could not ask for a better start to the episode. Finally we’ve earned our explicit rating so we are making the most of it. Hold onto your knickers girls, the storm is coming and we're dancing on the edge of taboo.

And we have questions!

  • Is Paul in a sub-dom relationship with his dentist?
  • Where do we get our gay sex education? Spoiler: it’s porn
  • If everything is sex except sex which is power, what is podcasting?
  • Would you rather pee on someone or be peed on? People want to know.

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.

045: Loose Everything with Jarry

045: Loose Everything with Jarry

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 just leave it all to awesome young people to fix?

Remember: When you become more authentically you, others feel they can do the same.

Our guest Jarry Glavin describes herself as a ballerina, teacher, hostess with the mostess, sober, trans icon, citizen of the world, London dweller, dog owner, yogi, forever young and fabulous! You can follow Jarry on Instagram at @JarryGlavin

044: Do Better, Honey!

044: Do Better, Honey!

Sound the XTRAcast Horn! It’s Sunday morning. Anders is in “full sweatpant mode” and Paul is rocking a giraffe print kimono. Anders has bed hair and Paul has hair envy even though Anders doesn’t appreciate his glorious thick head of luscious straight locks. They start by meandering through their childhood expectations of gifts and end with Anders wondering what the Amsterdam queer scene is like, even though he lives there. 

Det är väldigt HOPECAST!

And we have questions!

  • Do white hairs signify descent into decay or ascent into a hot new Daddy phase?
  • Did Anders invent Google Glass?
  • What makes the better gift: activities or things?
  • How do you design the culture of a queer gym?

Remember: This is a safe space for booty shorts.

043: Practice Peace

043: Practice Peace

Strap yourself in for this one as Yassir, Oliver and Paul explore a brain-buffet of ideas ranging from the definition of loyalty, the difficulty in accessing anger, and whether Paul was able to unleash his inner warrior when he thought he was about to be murdered. SPOILER: no.

And we have questions!

  • What would you do if there were no consequences to your actions?
  • Is Civil War inevitable in the USA?
  • Which shop would you loot in a riot?
  • Will we ever find freedom in a world obsessed with power?

Remember: try to bring your light and peace wherever you are

041: Lose Yourself To Find Yourself

Hello 2022! Fancy a twosome? On the same day, Yassir walked 17,000 steps and Paul managed just over 7,000. They catch up about their very different experiences and how the year is shaping up so far. Spoiler: MIXED REVIEWS.

And we have questions!

  • What does pleasure actually mean?
  • How do you know when you find your flow?
  • Is it ok to use a podcast as Covid therapy?
  • What do we have choice over really?

038: Lose The Towel

It’s another XTRAcast SOLOcast with Anders jumping straight into his goddamn thoughts and where do they go first? Open showers. He speaks about his moment of realisation that there is no need to shield the world seeing him, before taking us into the history of Christian monks meditating in the desert. It’s so HOPECAST.

And we have questions!

  • What happened during his Saturn’s Return?
  • Exactly how do you pronounce Apophthegmata?
  • When do we start to give fewer shits about what other people think?

Remember: God doesn’t have to be loud

037: The Journey to Uranus

Your favourite pussassheauxs are back in the HOPECAST house and babe, we’ve got stuff to talk about. Are we now an astrology podcast? A science podcast? Probably!  We start on the weather, trauma, Christmas and feathers and end up journeying to Uranus. Of course.

And we have questions!

  • Can anyone have a comfortable poo in America?
  • Are you allowed to wank on Vipassana?
  • Where do we stand on adulting?
  • Will Double Dick December be a thing?

Remember: The best is yet to come.

036: What's tipping you over the edge today?

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?

Remember: We don’t have to do this alone

What happens when you’re burning the candle at both ends and the whole fucking thing melts? Matt hasn’t stopped for 2 months, Paul is at the tail end of a ‘fuck’ of a cold...we’re both having a bit of a whinge about how tired we are, and missing lockdown, and *sigh* it’s all going to be ok, isn’t it?
And we have questions!

Is there more pressure to achieve a legacy if we’re childless?
Would we be ok being forgotten?
How do we deal with being ghosted?
Why do we pretend to be perfect to potential partners?

Remember: you don’t have to speak German to get into Berghain.
