Summary
It’s all terribly sporty over here at Homo Sapiens this week. What with Carl Nassib coming out as gay and footballer Harry Kane’s rainbow armband at the Euros, this week we’re asking - Does homophobia still exist in sport? Well, according to you all it’s an almost unanimous YES! You’ve been generous and brave enough to share your experiences of facing homophobia and transphobia in sport, plus telling us what you’ve done to combat it. Plus, I’ve also got queer professional rugby superstar Devin Ibañez joining me to talk about the day he came out publicly. And of course, it’s Culture Club time, with all of YOUR finest recommendations in food, TV, books and music! - Chris x

| 0:00.0 | Hello, can you hear me coughing off Mike as I'm a professional? |
| 0:07.0 | Hello everybody, how are you? Welcome to Homo sapiens. Welcome to Homo sapiens extra I should say |
| 0:12.8 | because that's what this is. It's an episode of Homo sapiens extra for the sharp ear to |
| 0:17.2 | mungue. Thank you so much to everybody who voted for us in the listener's choice of words. |
| 0:22.4 | We didn't win, but as our beautiful England team illustrated over the weekend, |
| 0:27.4 | it is the taking part that counts. And I have to say a special shout out to our delightful |
| 0:34.4 | and wonderful editor Steve who did win. He won gold for best business podcast doing it for the kids. |
| 0:40.9 | So all of you go and have a listen to that. Steve is a wonderfully talented man and now |
| 0:46.4 | has a masterpiece laden with golden treasure all for a very brilliant podcast that he does. So |
| 0:52.9 | anyway, I'm hoping for a little bit of reflected glory in that direction. What else has been going |
| 0:58.4 | on? Crow update for those of you who'd like to know. Angry crow is banging at my windows. Well, |
| 1:04.4 | I got the plastic owl from Amazon, which has these big BDIs and a head that rotates no less. |

| 1:17.5 | cellar taped, not glued, in case my lad knows listening, um, cellar taped into my windows. |
| 1:22.6 | And I put some silver twizzlers out some of my windows and thanks to you all because it was you |
| 1:26.9 | guys who actually gave me all the advice on what to do. Sadly, as we know, Crow is a pretty clever. |
| 1:34.5 | So no, I didn't receive any banging on my front windows. No, I didn't receive any banging on my |
| 1:39.9 | front door from Crow's. But there was one window, a velux window. You know, there's ones in a roof |
| 1:45.1 | on the back of the house. Well, that's where they relocated to. Well, the main one relocated, |
| 1:50.1 | the main Crow relocated to, so I was working again at 4 a.m. But then I simply stuck an alpha |
| 1:56.0 | to that window and I saw the big fellow off and thank the Lord because I've finally been able |
| 2:03.4 | to get some sleep. It was quite intense. Let me tell you, listeners. What else is there to tell you? |
