    Brian - Belonging, Grief, and Queer Ritual

    Send a text In this episode, Vance chats with Brian G. Murphy, author of Love Beyond Monogamy, for a conversation about ritual, community, and the ways we create meaning in our lives. Together, they explore how experiences like yoga, music, and gathering with friends can become modern spiritual practices — the places where we process loss, celebrate connection, and remember who we are. Brian also reflects on the deep cultural significance of places like Fire Island, and how queer spaces have long held grief, joy, friendship, and history all at once. This episode is a thoughtful conversation about queer community, chosen rituals, and the ways we find belonging through shared experience.

    Tom - Monogamous, Open, or Something Else?

    Send a text In this episode, Vance chats with Tom, a sex and relationship therapist, for an honest conversation about what it feels like to be gay men navigating modern intimacy. Together, they unpack loneliness, emotional safety, and the tension between freedom and connection, while diving into monogamy in the gay community — where it often feels split between monogamous and non-monogamous relationships. Rather than prescribing a “right” way, they explore how the real work is about self-awareness and choosing the relationship structure that actually fits who you are. This episode is a raw, grounded look at vulnerability, communication, and learning how to ask for what you truly need.

    Gary - Compulsive Sex, Safety & the Search for Real Intimacy

    Send a text In this episode, Vance chats with Gary Albert — therapist, embodiment facilitator, and former classical musician — to explore the winding path that led him into supporting gay men in their relationships with pleasure, intimacy, and sexuality. We get into all of it: vulnerability, compulsive sexual patterns, limerence, emotional attachment, and why feeling our harder emotions is actually what creates real connection. Gary talks about the power of community, what it means for gay men to have truly safe spaces, and how relationships can become portals for self-discovery and healing. It’s a conversation for anyone craving more authenticity, more embodied intimacy, and more freedom in how they show up in love and sex.

    David aka Davey Wavey - Love, Lust, and Age Gaps

    Send a text Vance sits down with David Jacques, aka Davey Wavey, for a no-holds-barred conversation about dating, hookups, and desire. They swap some of their best (and worst) dating stories and talk about how finding love and casual connections in the digital age can feel like its own skillset — one that teaches us what really turns us on. They dive into age gaps between gay men, the dynamics that come with them, and how our experiences (the hot ones and the hard ones) shape who we’re drawn to. The more we know what we want — and what we don’t — the better we f**k, love, and choose.
