About this listen

In this episode, Gareth takes us on a wild ride through his early days in Melbourne—new city, new freedom, and zero idea what he was in for. From hitting the clubs to accidentally stumbling (okay, maybe not so accidentally) into the gay sauna scene, it’s a story full of benders, bold moves, and some big wake-up calls.

But this episode isn’t just juicy stories and steamy tiles—we’re also unpacking the real stuff: the risks that come with sexual exploration, the difference between HIV and AIDS, and what prevention, safety, and self-respect can actually look like in queer spaces.

It’s honest, hilarious, and heart-opening.
Because growing up gay doesn’t come with a manual—but maybe this episode helps.
