    236 – Boots, Suits and Tim’s Cutes

    What makes a queer male pin-up more than just a sexy photograph? In this episode, Jon and Joenas are joined by photographer and Boots and Suits creator Evan, of @E.F.P.Photography, along with Hide and Seek alum, Tim Little, who recently stepped in front of Evan’s camera for a featured spread.   Together, they explore the visual language of queer male desire: boots, suits, harnesses, posture, gaze, body language and the coded imagery queer communities have used for generations. The conversation looks at how pin-up photography can communicate fantasy, masculinity, confidence, humour and belonging in ways that a standard fashion shoot or thirst trap may not. Evan shares the origins of Boots and Suits, the influences behind its distinctive Melbourne-made style, and why he chose to create a physical magazine in an increasingly digital world. He reflects on the lasting erotic power of boots, uniforms, tailoring and workwear, and on the importance of queer communities producing and preserving their own images. Tim takes listeners deep into his shoot, from his initial reaction and pre-shoot prep to the moment he began to relax into the experience. He discusses the vulnerability of being photographed, the emotional impact of seeing the finished images, and what it felt like to recognise himself as sexy, powerful and worthy of being looked at. The conversation ultimately asks what it means to be seen rather than merely ogled, how erotic photography can celebrate a person without reducing them, and why it can be so powerful to see ordinary, local queer people presented as desirable. It is a conversation about pin-ups, print, coded desire, body confidence and the queer power of stepping into the frame.

    235 – Lycra Lovin

    Leather and rubber might dominate the conversation around fetish clothing, but for some people, nothing compares to the smooth, tight and unmistakable appeal of lycra. In this episode, Craig speaks with Matt and Ross about lycra fetish, what first drew them to the fabric, and when an interest in sportswear became something more personal and erotic. They explore the appeal of lycra’s look, feel, fit and symbolism, and unpack why clothing fetishes are often misunderstood or dismissed. The conversation moves into lycra play, collecting, wearing other people’s gear, and the overlap between fetish and sports such as cycling and rowing. Matt and Ross discuss whether lycra is primarily a solo experience or something shared with others, and what a typical play session can involve. They also consider lycra’s place within broader queer fetish culture. Why is it sometimes treated as less serious than leather or rubber? Where can lycra lovers find community? And how do people navigate consent, visibility and arousal when wearing such form-fitting clothing in public or kink spaces? Finally, Matt and Ross share some of their favourite experiences, how their fetishes have evolved, and what remains on their lycra “fuck it” lists. It’s a celebration of stretch, shine, shape and a fabric fetish that deserves far more time in the spotlight.

    234 – Get Off With JOY

    Leather and kink have always been part of queer culture, but they are often pushed to the edges of mainstream Pride narratives or treated as something queer communities should hide. For this Radiothon episode, Jon, Joenas and Craig are joined by Johnny from Melbourne Leather and Liam Clark, Mr Australian Leather 2025 and the first Melbourne Rubberman, to explore why leather communities need queer media platforms—and why independent queer media needs community support. Johnny takes us inside the work of building leather community locally, from welcoming newcomers and creating events to education, mentoring, fundraising and maintaining safer community norms. The conversation looks beyond the jackets, harnesses and boots to the values of service, respect, care, tradition and chosen family that hold leather communities together. Liam reflects on representing Australia at International Mr Leather, returning to titleholding after his time as Melbourne Rubberman, and what it means to carry a community title as a form of service, visibility and advocacy. He also discusses the personal impact of representing his identities and community on an international stage. Together, the guests challenge “No Kink at Pride” arguments, unpack the difference between thoughtful conversations about public context and attempts to sanitise queer life, and consider what is lost when leather, kink and sexual liberation are edited out of queer history. This episode is also a celebration of what JOY makes possible: nuanced, funny and community-led conversations in which queer people can speak for themselves. This Radiothon, support independent queer media and help keep the full breadth of queer life on air—including the proud, complicated, adult and unapologetically kinky parts.

    233 – Title Tracks

    What can rope, leather and consensual kink teach us about trust, vulnerability and connection? In this episode, Craig speaks with Brendan Josey, Mr Queensland Leather 2023 and an experienced practitioner, performer and educator within Australia’s leather, BDSM and shibari communities. Brendan reflects on his journey into kink, the roles he occupies within a scene, and how his understanding of BDSM has evolved through years of practice and community involvement. The conversation explores shibari as a form of intimacy, artistic expression, performance and embodied communication. Brendan discusses how rope skills are learned, what makes a successful scene, and how riggers and rope partners balance aesthetics, connection and physical safety. Craig and Brendan also unpack the values that underpin ethical BDSM, including negotiation, informed consent, risk awareness, changing boundaries, safewords and aftercare. They consider the responsibilities experienced practitioners have toward newcomers and why emotional safety is just as important as technical skill. Drawing on Brendan’s involvement with The Boot Co. Brisbane, Brisbane Leather Week and his representation of Australia at International Mr Leather, the episode also looks at the importance of welcoming communities, ongoing education and creating spaces where people can explore kink without shame. It’s an open conversation about rope, leather, personal growth and what consensual kink can reveal about communication, care and the courage to be vulnerable with another person.

    232 – Work Hard For The Money

    Sex work is often reduced to a single stereotype, but the reality is far broader. It can include full-service work, escorting, erotic massage, stripping, professional domination, camming, phone sex, pornography, online content creation and many other forms of sexual or erotic labour. In this episode, Jon speaks with Odus Moore to challenge some of the most persistent myths about sex work and explore what the job actually involves. They discuss the communication, screening, negotiation, marketing, administration, emotional labour, safety planning and business management that often happen before and after any paid booking, performance or session. Odus also reflects on how stigma affects sex workers far beyond personal judgement, shaping experiences of healthcare, housing, banking, policing, relationships, online platforms and community spaces. The conversation examines why sex workers are so often portrayed as either helpless victims or endlessly empowered, why neither stereotype reflects the diversity of workers’ lives, and why consent and boundaries remain just as important in sex work as anywhere else. Finally, Jon and Odus consider what genuine support looks like: respecting privacy, rates, time, consent and confidentiality; avoiding invasive questions and assumptions; not outing workers or sharing paid content; and ensuring that healthcare, counselling and community services respond without judgement. For support, advocacy and further information, listeners can connect with SWOP NSW, RhED in Victoria and Scarlet Alliance.

    231 – Bates Motel

    Group masturbation parties have long occupied a discreet but distinctive place in queer sexual culture — from informal jerk-off circles and beats to organised bate clubs, private gatherings and events like Melbourne’s Stroke and Sydney’s JackALL. Jon and Craig are joined by Marc from Melbourne Wankers and Ben, founder of JackALL, to explore the history, culture and appeal of communal masturbation spaces. They discuss what makes a bate party different from a conventional sex party, the influence of saunas, porn cinemas and earlier queer gathering places, and how HIV, hookup apps and changing community expectations have shaped these events. The conversation also gets practical, looking at consent, etiquette, safety, intoxication, dress, pornography and the clear boundaries that allow attendees to relax. Marc and Ben reflect on why people attend, from erotic curiosity and voyeurism to friendship, intimacy, body confidence and the freedom of a sexual environment without expectations around penetration or performance. Finally, they consider whether events like Stroke could return, how community-led gatherings are evolving, and what someone curious about these spaces should know before attending for the first time.

    230 – Caught Up

    The Hide and Seek family is back together for a very busy catch-up. Joenas returns from Thailand with stories from judging Mr Bear International, including national costumes, bear pool parties, bouncing castles and the challenges faced by queer titleholders in countries where LGBTQIA+ people have limited legal protection. Craig takes us behind the scenes of the Australian Leather Competition, reflecting on the contestants, judging process, standout moments and Australian Leather’s plans to provide stronger mentoring for non-cis-male competitors. Then the team looks ahead to a packed calendar of bear, leather, pup and fetish events across Australia, including International Mr Leather, Southern Hibernation, Mr Australasia Bear, Sydney’s leather titles, Brisbane Leather Week and the Australian Pup and Handler Competition. It’s competitions, community, travel, titles and just enough inappropriate commentary to make it a proper Hide and Seek reunion.

    229 – More Than Meets the AI

    AI porn is no longer a fringe curiosity — it’s rapidly becoming one of the most disruptive shifts in how we think about sex, media, and consent. In this episode of Hide and Seek, Jon is joined by queer artist and technologist Leo Herrera to unpack what’s really going on beneath the headlines. We start by breaking down what “AI porn” actually means — from fully synthetic erotic content to deepfakes and “nudification” tools — and how these technologies have evolved from earlier forms of porn and online intimacy. As Herrera explains, this isn’t just a new format; it’s a fundamental shift toward hyper-personalised, frictionless sexual experiences that blur the line between fantasy and reality. From there, we dive into the ethical fault lines. Who owns the data these systems are trained on? Can consent exist in a world where images are scraped, remixed, and regenerated at scale? And what happens when anyone can generate explicit content of anyone else — with or without their knowledge? We also explore the real-world impacts: the rise of non-consensual deepfakes, the disproportionate harm faced by women, queer people and sex workers, and the ways this technology is already reshaping sexual development, relationships, and expectations. But it’s not all dystopian. We look at the potential for AI to enable new forms of expression, representation, and even harm reduction — while asking what an “ethical” AI porn ecosystem might realistically look like. This is a conversation about more than porn. It’s about power, technology, and the future of human intimacy — and whether we can build the language, norms, and safeguards fast enough to keep up. Listen now and decide for yourself: evolution, or something far more?   Find Leo on substack at https://leoherrera.substack.com/ Follow Tim instagram.com/beatzradio/ Follow Jon instagram.com/barbarylion/ Follow Craig instagram.com/white.dragon.339/ This episode was recorded on the lands of the Yalukut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung peoples.
