“It seemed a natural progression of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! brand. Ever since we opened our BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in London last autumn, we’ve been having our weekly BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS with some amazing guests. It seemed silly not to record and share these to a wider audience alongside our other content.
Ghislain Pascal, founder of BOYS! BOYS! BOYS!
“We are so lucky to have award-winning podcaster Graeme as our host and producer. He is as passionate as I am about promoting queer culture in a positive light.
“Our podcast fills a void about art, queer, culture that you cannot find anywhere else. Since nobody else was doing this, I said fuck it let’s do it ourselves. I am so happy with the end result. It’s intelligent and brilliant.
“I am very proud of what we are achieving with BOYS! BOYS! BOYS!”
