The Moment We Knew We Were Gay (Coming Out Stories)
After officially announcing Sam Stanton as my co-host of the Occasionally Funny podcast last week, I thought for our first proper episode we'd take things all the way back to when we first figured out we were both gay, how we eventually came out and what lessons we've learned along the way. We hope anyone still struggling with their sexuality or parents unsure how to bring certain topics up with their kids will take something from this episode.

BONUS: The wait is (almost) over...
With Sam and my mum's co-host auditions complete, this weekend I decided to catch up with them both one last time to see if this helped me make my final decision. Plus, I dig out audio of the first time I ever cried on the internet, reminisce about a homeless man I befriended and tried to bring home as a teenager and welcome a wild card into the studio. Well, I wouldn't say welcome, more they arrived at my door for an unplanned audition. PS: If you enjoyed my friend Louisa's questionable jokes, find more on her Instagram here.

My very awkward debut stand-up comedy set
As Sam Stanton and my mum now work on their co-host audition episodes, this week I'm facing my fear of public speaking my performing by debut stand-up comedy set to a small group of people. And after writing a self-deprecating set about growing up as a millennial online that I thought my audience would relate to, the whole thing quickly fell apart.
