Talking Poofy (Scott Brennan, Adam Richard, Toby Sullivan) present The Poofcast Episode 25 guest-starring Bro-Ho Tom Ward ( Josh Thomas and Friend ). This is one mess of a Poofcast , people. The Gay to Zed reaches letter V and you can get an insight into just how we choose the topics for this Poofcast as we workshop aspects of gay life we should be talking about. Somehow it descends into a discussion of catching STI's on public transport and, well, porn. Then again, don't they all? Our Bro-Ho To...

Talking Poofy return from summer holidays with a bang! As well as our regular guests Wes Snelling and Melinda Buttle (the Bottom Whisperer) we start a brand-new celebrity segment where we subject a star to the InterroGAYtion. This week it is the multi-hyphenate Cal Wilson (host-comedian-actress-mother-radio presenter-new zealander-etc) who is put under the glitterball reflected spotlight. However, at the time of the interview, she was only able to communicate via social media, and what ensues is...

Guest Starring Gen-Y Spy Rhys Nicholson Not your regular Poofcast this week. We have all become a little busy with Christmas Holiday malarkey and our many work projects, but we do still have some fresh poofcasty goodness for you. Last week, our new segment Would Ya? had to be trimmed, not just for time, but because it was too good not to get a starring role in this week's Poofcast. One of the Talking Poofy team reminisces about the dark days before he was gay as we ask the question "would ya wit...

Featuring Melinda Buttle as The Bottom Whisperer The Gay to Zed has finally reached the letter P, so we delve back into the naughty stash under our bed and have a look at P for Porn. We make another call to Jesus to see if we can organise a canonization for the patron saint of gay pornography. We also have another crack at our new regular feature 'Would 'Ya?' and once again Melinda Buttle confounds us with her innate knowledge of who's 'Top or Bottom.' This week, Adam will confess to a fantasy t...

Special Guest Star Wes Snelling and Melinda Buttle as The Bottom Whisperer. The Gay to Zed has the misfortune to fall into the letter O for, well, you can imagine I'm sure. This of course leads us to a rather extended discussion of paying for cabs with things other than cash, soiling your workplace with intimate relations and we premiere a brand new segment on the Poofcast (oh yeah, four months in and we finally had a new idea!) It's called 'Would Ya?' and it is even worse than you can imagine. ...

Special episode featuring Colin Batrouney, Toby Halligan, Geraldine Hickey and Wes Snelling. If you think the regular Poofcast is pretty wrong, wait until you hear what we cut out! All the things you didn't know you missed from previous Poofcasts (we sometimes edit bits out so the Poofcasts are under 40 minutes), and a lot of things we never really intended to ever appear in a Poofcast!

Guest Star Ali Hogg (Equal Love) and Special Guest Star Wes Snelling as The Bottom Whisperer 2 (Like when Ice Cube was Vin Diesel in XXX2) The Gay to Zed gets all relevant and topical with M for Marriage (we are never topical, this is a complete accident). We talk about Gay Marriage to the convener of Equal Love , the very sensible Ali Hogg. Then we have a slightly less sensible conversation with someone in the middle of the whole religion vs gay debate - this is quite a coup, even Oprah can't g...

Guest Star Rhys Nicholson, Special Guest Star Wes Snelling as Doctor Smith In the Gay to Zed we get all silly and queeny over K for Kylie! Which of course leads to a discussion of Divas, and this in turn gives us a reason to ring up our favourite drag queen Prue Lapse.

We find a nice young man looking for love ...

Guest Stars Colin Batrouney and Geraldine Hickey The Gay to Zed this week, for some reason, involves us drinking alcohol during The Poofcast and getting a bit too messy for our own good. Our resident sexpert, Colin Batrouney from the Victorian AIDS Council, attempts to impart to us the importance of regular testing. We catch up with a rather confused drag queen by the name of Prue Lapse. Geraldine Hickey helps us out with our Grand Final edition of Top or Bottom. All this, and so much less, in T...

Scott, Adam and Toby are at Choice Cutz hair salon to discuss the Gay to Zed, which reaches the letter I (here's a hint, a lot of gay men start their sentences with this word).
