Summary
This episode is pure joy. If you don’t know who ‘The Old Gays’ are, you’re in for a treat and if you do, well, you’ve come to the right place. I spoke to all four of the gang - Bob, Bill, Jessay and Mick about how they they shot to internet fame through Grindr, why friendship and community is SO important and why we all just gotta “Enjoy, live and stop fearing”. Wise words! Chris x
