Fully Gay Radio | S2E1 – "Our (Fully) Gay Hero's Journeys" We're back - and we got a glow up. Brown Bear Radio is dead. Long live Fully Gay Radio! To kick off Season Two, Ed and co-host Ben take the mic for a proper origin story episode — because before you can go anywhere, you have to know where you came from. Drawing on Joseph Campbell's classic Hero's Journey, Ed and Ben map their own fully gay lives across three acts and seven stages: the Ordinary World they each started in, the Call to Adventure that cracked something open, the Resistance and Doubt that nearly kept them small, the Allies and Mentors who showed up when it mattered, the Road of Trials that tested everything, the Transformation that changed them at the core — and the Return, bringing hard-won truth back to the world. Two gay men. Two journeys. A lot of honesty. Then Ben lightens the mood with this week's news: Australia's landmark new blood donation rules, Time Magazine's most influential gays and queers, and why the whole thing feels like a very sexy game of Dungeons & Dragons. Your hero's journey starts here. Fully Gay Radio is brought to you by the Fully Gay community on Skool — join us and discover the wisdom these gremlins and wizards have to offer to become your own Gay Hero at www.skool.com/gay

A more casual ep and slice of life. As always, fully gay, very gay and excitingly gay for gay men and our lovers.

Let’s say the quiet part out loud. Why do so many gay men struggle with self-doubt, coldness, performative identity, comparison, and subtle self-rejection? Why does bitchiness sometimes feel safer than vulnerability? Why do we sabotage ourselves while claiming we want more? Ben C, Ed, and Dan Q unpack the uncomfortable patterns that keep us small. We talk about: • The difference between confidence and performance • Why self-love isn’t affirmations, it’s discipline • Training your mind like a muscle • Doing hard things to get big results • How to stop being guarded and start being grounded This episode is for men who are done blaming the world and ready to build themselves. Growth isn’t aesthetic. It’s earned.

Nick and Ed, two experiences life coaching focusing on our gay male community specifically get into a candid chat about the highs, the lows, the difficulties and the triumphs, and saunas! This is not just a vanilla chit chat, we show up and get real. Enjoy! If you're new to us you can find Nick by googling Happy Human Project. Of course you should also consider Brown Bear Coaching and Brown Bear Skool with me Ed Wilson too! You make your own best decision. We're both awesome.

Episode 7: Being Gay in the Workplace | Brown Bear Radio What does it really mean to be gay at work in 2026? In this episode of Brown Bear Radio, we talk honestly about navigating professional spaces as a gay man. From deciding when to be out or stay private, to handling subtle bias, office culture, masculinity, and the quiet emotional labor that often goes unnamed. This is not a polished diversity talk or a corporate checklist. It’s a grounded conversation about safety, authenticity, confidence, and the real decisions gay men make every day in their working lives. Whether you are navigating corporate environments, self employment, leadership roles, or client facing work, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and perspective without fluff. If you have ever wondered how much of yourself belongs at work, or felt the tension between professionalism and authenticity, this episode is for you.
