Summary
Hello everyone, please welcome our first All Star cost-host, Mr. Tom Allen!
Tom is a wonderful friend and so when you all asked us to do an episode about why it’s hard to make friends in the gay community I knew who to call: My only mate who has a top hat on his house insurance. Who knew?
Lovely episode this, and a real sign of whats to come.
Oh, and remember we're now on YouTube! You'll be able to WATCH my conversation with Tom tomorrow, so make sure you're subscribed to @homosapienspod on YouTube now!
