Summary
When Ryan O’Connell came on the podcast last time we had a blast, and I knew we had so much more to talk about. So here he is. Not satisfied with creating Netflix smash hit ‘Special’, starring in (and writing) the new ‘Queer As Folk’, he’s gone and written a brilliant novel. This episode is full of Ryan’s trademark honesty and wit, as we cover why I’m clearly lying about something all gay men do, what your slutty years can do for you, and we find out what did Ryan learn he is too famous to do in public? Click play for all this and more, plus you can buy Ryan’s hilarious book ‘Just By Looking At Him’ here.
