Summary
I’m honoured to have the witty and wise Reverend Richard Coles as our guest this week on Homo Sapiens. He’s as honest and funny as you’d expect, he will have you all howling with laughter with his stories that span from why he thinks he and my husband would get on like a house on fire, some of the most common questions people ask him in their hour of need, to a beautiful and open depiction of queer grief when he lost his wonderful husband David just before we all went in to Lockdown. Press play and enjoy! Chris x
