Homo Sapiens

Listeners- why not add some queer poetry to your reading lists this January? Today we are thrilled to be joined by writer, journalist and model Otamere Guobadia. He is a regular contributor for the likes of Vogue and The Guardian, with his writing striking at the heart of issues that we battle with in every day life and within the LGBTQ+ community. Most excitingly, he’s published his debut poetry collection - Unutterable Visions, Perishable Breath'- it’s a beautiful exploration of queer love and desire - and in Otamere’s words, helping us to understand and process ‘the things we can’t define’.

Did you have a favorite item of clothing during your childhood? Clothes, what we wear and why we wear them provide a lens into so many aspects of queerness. Our guest today, editorial director of Soho House, Teo van den Broeke, has written a beautiful memoir called ‘Closet’ about exactly this. There are brilliant stories of the realities of being in the Closet in the nineties, from MSN accounts entitled ‘ILoveWomen87’ to errors with concealing your internet search history on the family computer- it’s a coming of age story like no other and you're going to LOVE it!

You can buy a copy of the closet here.
