Sam’s co-host audition: Dating disasters

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.  Occasionally Funny is the side pod to MAFS Funny and drops new "main" episodes every Wednesday morning - with an occasional bonus one throughout the week.

And the co-host winner is...

The search is finally over and in this episode I finally make my Occasionally Funny co-host choice and phone both Sam from Married At First Sight and my mum up to share the exciting news!  Occasionally Funny is the side pod to MAFS Funny and drops new "main" episodes every Wednesday morning - with an occasional bonus one throughout the week.

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.  Occasionally Funny is the side pod to MAFS Funny and drops new "main" episodes every Wednesday morning - with an occasional bonus one throughout the week, like this one here.
