077: The magic of mysticism w/ Daniel Pitt
WE HAVE A GUEST! Nick and Anders are joined by Daniel Pitt. He's a medium and teacher (who also happens to be Paul's husband). The conversation takes in what it means to be spiritual, how we can befriend the mystical and where we can find magic in the everyday experience of being human.
You can contact Dan through his website www.danielpitt.co.uk
Remember: How can we show love if we can't show it to ourselves?

076: Straight Drag Nightmare
Anders and Nick are together for a duo-cast, diving into whatever is there. They begin with blooms and bikes, baskets and bags then go DEEP into what it means to celebrate ourselves. What will our Buddhist Monk and Quiet Indoor Gay make of it? We have questions!
- Are younger people more gender fluid compare to the oldies dressing like school jocks?
- Do straight men hate the traditional ideas of manliness as much as we do?
- If someone is wearing a single dangly earring, pearl necklace and skinny ripped jeans, are they.....you know?
- How might we use our dreams to celebrate ourselves?
Remember: Shine your queer rainbow heart every day

075: POORLYCAST
We're all feeling a bit grizzly on this episode. Despite heading off on vacation, Anders is tired. Paul is getting over a cold, Yassir is at the start of a cold and Nick is mid-cold. Thankfully Oliver is bringing some sunshine from his new Lisbon pad! We talk about the importance of queer spaces, Nick's man-cave being underused and poking under rocks looking for Prince Charming. And we have questions!
- If you lived on a plane could you be in perpetual spring?
- What are we all wishing for in the rest of 2023?
- Which of the five rhythms are you right now?
Remember: Wish for weirdness!
Oh and Trader Joes if you're listening - hit us up!

074: Queer Pioneers
OMGuestcast! Nick and Paul sit down with the fabulous Darren Brady - coach, facilitator, holder of space, and co-founder of The Quest. We have a wide ranging chat about the nature of community, the changing needs of gay men over the decades, the increasing prevalence of chemsex and the joy of working in service. And we have questions!
- Do we really miss venues with sticky dancefloors?
- How do we step into the beauty of our queerness?
Remember: Who needs acceptance from the wider world?

073: Juicy Buds and Dangly Bits
Welcome to DOOMCAST! We're having a house party! People are dropping in all over the time. We're a gardening podcast now FYI. Although it only takes us around four minutes to go from trees to tantra. Oliver is moving to Europe and we talk about what it's like to be in a toxic relationship with America. We cover climate change, police brutality, romanticising the past and creating the future. Oh and w*anking. It's HOPECAST!
And we have questions:
- If humans weren't on the planet would it still be spring?
- How do we know when we're running towards something or away from it?
- Do straight people ruin everything?
- Is Paul the last person to know the coded message in ripped jeans?
Remember: Try to always have a little titty out.

072: Aussiebummers
The boys are back in podcast town and spring is springing. Paul is overthinking everything again. Nick is a pimp daddy making it rain. Anders is branching out and Yassir is beaming sunshine. We cover topics like identity, abundance, colour and whether your underwear brand reveals your sexuality. Of course. And we have questions!
- How about we let go of lack?
- What wheel do you need to poke a stick in?
- Are our careers ladders or playgrounds?
- Do you judge people on their favourite colours?

071: The unexamined life is not worth living
We haven't heard from Matthew lately, because he's been having a moment. In amongst his busy schedule, we found time for a beautiful and vulnerable conversation where we talk about meaning, purpose, performing, social media....you know just some superficial small talk.
Matthew's thoughts are such a great reminder for us to pause, take stock and check in with ourselves to see how we're doing. Are our habits and patterns serving us? How do we handle dissatisfaction? What do we do when we know we need to change but don't know how? Matthew ponders all of this and so much more.
Remember: it's the coming back that's the hard part.

070: One second on the clock of eternity
Hey Hopecasters! We're feeling festive! Nick's hair is amazing, Yassir is in the sunshine, Oliver is contemplating a move, Paul is taking himself on a team away dayand Anders is looking forward to everyone moving to Amsterdam and living with him. We think that's what he said? Matthew is double-tripled booked again for this episode (crying emoji) but we'll make sure we get their voice back on soon!

OMFG it's us! HOPECAST! We're back in your ears! You lucky listeners. Thanks for sticking around. We've missed you during our four week break that turned into three months. That's 2022 for you! We're using this episode to catch up with each other and check in what we've all been up to over the summer. No spoilers! Oh it's good to be back.

068: Hot Hopecast Summer
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.

Paul came back from a rural retreat with a full heart and a head full of Covid, so this week's episode is in the hands of the wind who has a song they would like to share with you. Sit back, relax and enjoy the music of the trees.

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
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
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.

060: The Notebooks are Full
Matthew’s red speedo moment is coming up and Anders is nervous about falling off boats in this new Youthcast installment, but more importantly, you’re finally getting our hot takes on all things Eurovision! Who is the most iconic contestant according to these two? Listen to find out the unanimous answer. Also in this episode: dealing with ideas, planning time in the sun, and a little bit of conspiracy theorizing.
And we have questions!
- How many countries and states can YOU name on a map?
- Can you get any gayer than Abba in concert? (Probably not)
- Should we all have personal project managers?
Remember: if it doesn’t have semi-nude male dancers in the background, it’s not Eurovision.

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 :)

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!

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.

054: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPECAST
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!
Remember: we create the path by walking it in six inch heels.

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?

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.
Connect with fabulous Grant on Instagram, Facebook and his website.

050: Edging...ever closer
👋 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?

049: Fear of Mossing
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.
Remember: it’s the sub who always has the power.

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!
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
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?

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?

Twinkle twinkle little twink! It’s the final HOPECAST of 2021 and the festive spirit is in us. Matthew is channeling the heat of a thousand suns and we are here for it. Nick is holding uncertainty. Yassir is looking forward to feeling the warmth of spring. Anders is going part-time in 2022 and Paul is hopeful that we will get through this long long covid tunnel. We will, won’t we??
And we have questions!
- What has been one of the moments this year where you have felt the most you?
- What should we celebrate about the you that you are today?
- What is the world calling you to be?
Oh and if anyone wants to buy an Anders shaped mound of back hair, DM us.

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?

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?

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?

What do increasing COVID restrictions, social justice and orchids have in common? HOPECAST! This week it’s three introverts podcasting to the world, examining the false sense of social life we get from social media, boredom and turning FOMO into JOMO!
And we have questions:
- What is Yassir going to do with himself now he’s left Hatebook?
- If you knocked for Anders as a child did he do a fake Mum voice?
- Why was Oliver watching Benny Hill when he was growing up?
- Whatever happened to the coked up party rats?

034: Honking my own horn 📯
Paul is back back back in the house and knocking one out solo, reflecting on the last episode and how he turned FOMO into JOMO. Channeling the great philosophers Simon Amstell and Adele, he takes on issues of success, failing, relationships and death. Of course.
And he has questions!
- Is there really more road behind than ahead?
- What would your Queer Manifesto say?
- Should he stop talking to strangers in the changing room?
- What would be on your taster menu at the Relationship Cafe?

033: Look at my abs!
Yassir takes the wheel hosting a conversation that takes in juicy topics like failure, tree-climbing fish, gay footballers and instagram engagement, encouraged by the rally cry of “let’s get personal”. So we do!
And we have questions!
- Can vulnerability be weaponised?
- How do we be more willing to meet the fear of failure?
- Are we all just destined to be a mess in progress?
- What would help us to embrace the chaos outside our comfort zone?

032: The shiver of vulnerability
Paul is off for a weekend in the countryside (eeeek!) but before that, he and Yassir chew over the last episode as well as our feelings on winter, practising NO-vember, the attractiveness of vulnerability (in others), and pursuing perfection even when others can see right through us.
And we have questions:
- How do we marry knowing vulnerability is good with feeling comfortably vulnerable?
- Is there a connection between vulnerability, masculinity, sexuality and shame?
- What helps us feel whole and complete exactly as we are?
- Who is the most manly man Paul can approach to talk to about vulnerability?
Remember: the first rule of vulnerability is you have to give up control

031: Parents are people too
Woooooo spooky - we’re talking about families and trauma! But first Oliver, Yassir and Paul start with a bit Macbeth and music chat before lamenting what it means for our musical history to be considered retro by cool kids, then a few skips later we’re talking about what happens when we die before diving into abandonment, disownment and forgiveness. Happy Halloween scream queens!
And we have questions:
- Would you let Gloria Gaynor lead you to Christ?
- Which of the angels taking notes on your shoulders has the longer list?
- How can we find growth and meaning in painful relationships?
- Who would you be if you’d had a happy childhood?

029: Xenophobic chauvinist murder chimps
Snuggle up! We’re feeling sleepy this morning. Paul is husky and in his pyjamas, Anders is still in bed and Nick has his bear out. We start off slowly, hair ruffled, before diving into a discussion on post-pandemic extroversion, activism, capitalism and Berlin leather clubs. Of course we do.
And we have questions:
- Does Paul have Covid? (Spoiler: no)
- Would you go to a nightclub at 4pm if it means you can be in bed by midnight?
- Can you ever really change anybody’s mind about anything?
- Does sci-fi hold the answers to reimagining new queer futures or is our destiny to live on a farm on Gay Island?
Very that.

028: Sunday in the park with Anders
It’s our first ever ALFRESCOcast with Anders in the park avoiding building noise at home. We manifest some dogs to keep him company while we talk about the Law of Attraction so enjoy the woofing. And we have questions!
- What’s the difference between a prayer and a spell?
- How do you manifest something if you’re not clear about your needs?
- Does Google really know if God exists?
- Would you give up freedom in return for cake delivery?
Remember: Pray, and do something.
