Gays Can Play

Season '26 is here! After an injury-hit campaign last term, the boys are back with all the silliness and humour you associate them with.They start by discussing their football teams - and maybe, finally, a title for Arsenal?!They then dive into the commercial archives to bring you some of the best - and worst - adverts featuring sportspeople. Think underwear, topless golf on the beach and tikka masala sauce. Not all at once.Send your questions, suggestions and anything else that shows Gays Can Play to: [email protected] - and the boys will read the best out on the podcast!Opening music: www.purple-planet.com

The nights may be drawing in, but these boys never settle for a bore draw!Henry and Kieran revel in their first complaint - along with some nicer messages from listeners - whether a new number 9 for Arsenal and (another) new manager for Argyle will change fortunes for their football teams - and what sports they believe to be 'posh' or 'not posh', with advance apologies for Kieran's guttural noises.Plus, Henry's latest SM Gem shines a light on the most glamorous woman in football.

It's 2025, the boys are betrothed, and buzzing to bring season two of Gays Can Play to your podcast platforms!It doesn't take long for the usual silliness to ensue, with Kieran let loose on some new sound effects, Henry keen to highlight a surprising sexy footballer in the new feature called Social Media (SM) Gems, and what song will they choose as their darts walk-on?Recorded on 1 May 2025.Opening music: www.purple-planet.com

Henry and Kieran are back, albeit fashionably late, to Rainbow Laces.(OK here's the truth, we recorded this in December 2024, but we've been busy wedding planning since!)Henry and Kieran try to untie the knots and controversy caused by the Rainbow Laces campaign, bringing in key viewpoints from LGBT+ players and managers in the game such as Zander Murray, Luke Tuffs and Jahmal Howlett-Mundle. They then descend into their usual silliness by rating Premier League captains as potential gay icons.Comment with your thoughts on Rainbow Laces and LGBT promotion/inclusivity in sport either here or to our social media pages, or email us: gayscanplay@hotmail.com---------------------------------------------------------------Opening theme music: www.purple-planet.com

As the clocks go back marking the end of British Summer Time, and "brat summer" becomes a fleeting memory, the (recently engaged!) boys are keeping it alive through the brat-letics memories offered up by The Olympics. What other podcast discusses gay Olympics highlights, Supermarket Sweep, drag, Mario Kart, mincing races and... penis?! All in one very generous package ;) Kieran and Henry also take the time to celebrate the achievements of LGBTQ+ athletes all around the world such as Nikki Hiltz, Jack Woolley, Cindy Winner Djankeu Ngamba, Tom Daley and Campbell Harrison, applauding their strength and defiance in the face of adverse news coverage.

Kieran's happy because it's summer, which means cricket - Gaily News covers cricketing eyewear, Metro Bank heritage (no, me neither), and raging - or raving - homosexuals.
