10 Years Of A Gay and A NonGay: The London Patient: A Cure for HIV?
2025/12/24
This is a re-release celebrating a decade of love and allyship on A Gay And A NonGay. This week we're throwing it back to May 2020...
We've heard about 'expendable' populations before, but last time they meant gay people.
32 million people have died of AIDS related illnesses since the 1980s and in 2018, 770,000 people died worldwide because of the virus. The London Patient: A Cure For HIV? is the first episode in a brand new two-part series - funded by the Wellcome Trust and the British Podcast Awards Fund.
Both episodes were recorded in accordance with government social distancing measures.
On this episode, we look at the start of the epidemic, chat to AIDS activist Sir Nick Partridge OBE and head to Oxford to meet Professor John Frater who explains the science behind HIV. Trigger warning: Contains upsetting audio.
Incredible advances in medicine now mean that if you are HIV+ and on effective treatment, you can’t pass it on. Undetectable = Untransmittable. And in March 2019, it was revealed that a second person had been cured of HIV - The London Patient.
What does the London Patient’s story tell us about a cure for HIV? Plus in the age of Covid19, can the story of HIV and AIDS offer the world any hope?
This episode is bought to you with thanks to the MTV Staying Alive Foundation, the Terrence Higgins Trust and the National AIDS Trust.

10 Years Of A Gay and A NonGay: Let's Talk About Alice with Caroline Litman
2025/12/10
Trigger Warning: This episode contains multiple mentions of suicide and suicidal thoughts as well as themes that some listeners may find triggering.
This is a re-release celebrating a decade of love and allyship on A Gay And A NonGay. This week we're throwing it back to March 2025...
In many ways, Caroline Litman was the type of supportive Mum that any trans child could dream to have. She was supportive of her daughter, Alice, who was on the waiting list for gender affirming care.
Alice was on the waiting list for a gender identity clinic appointment for 1,023 days when she took her own life. Ever since then, Caroline has fought for trans rights, in an attempt to ensure that the pain her daughter went through never needs to be experienced by anybody else, ever again.
On this episode of A Gay And A NonGay, James and Dan are joined by Caroline to talk about the state of trans rights in the UK, her embarrassment about what she used to believe, whether we should be respectful to transphobic people online and why the gender critical movement is so well organised.

10 Years Of A Gay and A NonGay: Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church with Megan Phelps-Roper
2025/11/26
This is a re-release celebrating a decade of love and allyship on A Gay And A NonGay. This week we're throwing it back to November 2019...
The Westboro Baptist Church, notorious for picketing funerals and spreading homophobia, are one of the most hateful and homophobic Christian organisations in the world.
Megan Phelps-Roper was born to hate, joining her family at an anti-Gay picket at just 5 years old. The pain, sadness and shame Megan and her family have caused LGBTQ+ people around the world is difficult to comprehend, but since leaving the church in 2012 Megan has dedicated her life to spreading love, compassion and understanding.
In this episode, James and Dan chat to Megan about her journey. This episode contains strong language, offensive ideology and religious rhetoric you may find offensive.

Live From The First-Ever Solihull Pride
2025/11/13
We’re heading to Solihull for a special episode of A Gay And A NonGay!
Recorded just days before the first-ever Solihull Pride, Dan sits down with Melanie Palmer — CEO of the Solihull Business Improvement District — to discover how one of the “straightest parts of the UK” ended up launching a Pride celebration that captured the whole town’s imagination.
Mel shares the surprisingly emotional origins of Solihull Pride, how she has been combatting outdated attitudes, and the wider fear and misinformation that still shapes perceptions of queer people.
This episode is a reminder that Pride can take root anywhere, even in the places you least expect.

When Self-Love Becomes Too Much
2025/10/29
James and Dan are back with another chaotic, hilarious episode of A Gay and A NonGay!
This week, Dan’s lost his phone — and apparently his sanity — leading to a deep dive into how impossible modern life is without one (and how long James can last without rolling his eyes).
From there, the pair spiral into a debate about narcissism — is it always a bad thing, or can a little self-love actually be healthy?
James insists it’s a green flag, Dan isn’t so sure, and somewhere between poppers, entitlement, and empathy, they try to work out what the line really is between confidence and arrogance.

The Curious Case of Gay Dave
2025/10/22
Dan and James are back with more A Gay And A NonGay for a wide-ranging conversation, starting with stereotypes!

Straight Men Behaving Badly...
2025/10/15
Why is it that straight men can seemingly never behave themselves in public? That's the discussion on this episode of A Gay And A NonGay!
James and Dan are looking at two similarly gross incidents: a concert in New York and a burlesque show in Edinburgh, at both men were ejected because they couldn't keep their thing in their pants.
In a debate that ranges from the outrageous to the somewhat facetious, our co-hosts discuss everything from consent to the comparisons between different types of addictions, and whether society needs to be more understanding or whether a line must be drawn.
