The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast

DJ Fat Tony is one of the most recognisable figures in British nightlife, spending decades at the centre of club culture, fashion and celebrity. His time DJing at Trade, the legendary gay hard dance club, was just one chapter in a much bigger story.

Tony joins us for a revealing conversation at our BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in London to share his stories from DJing at the wedding of Brooklyn Beckham, reflecting on the ups and downs of his long friendship with Boy George, and looking back at his early days brushing shoulders with the New York art world with Keith Haring & Andy Warhol, including a memorable detail about what Warhol actually smelled like.

The conversation moves between funny, shocking and unexpectedly tender. Tony speaks openly about addiction, recovery and rebuilding his life. Now more than twenty years sober and happily married, he looks back on the chaos with honesty and perspective.

This episode of BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! features a genuine political outlier: Carl Cashman, the 34-year-old leader of Liverpool City Council’s Liberal Democrats in the North West of England, a straight politician who has built influence by putting LGBTQ+ people at the centre of his politics.

Carl represents a new generation of progressive politician: culturally fluent, visibly present, and entirely at ease in queer spaces. He’s as comfortable sharing the occasional gym selfie and taking the attention that follows as he is being clear and values-led on trans rights, European Union membership, and civil liberties. Often to the left of his own party, Carl has joked that at Liberal Democrats conference it can feel like 80% of the room is LGBTQ+, and he’s clear that queer members and voters are central to the party’s progressive energy.

The Liberal Democrats are the party that delivered equal marriage and the party still reckoning with the cost of the 2010 coalition. Yet in a landscape dominated by caution and culture wars, they remain one of the few national parties openly pro-EU and committed to individual rights.

During a week of TV appearances in London, Carl joined Graeme Smith — equally Liverpudlian, equally direct — in front of a sell-out crowd at the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in London. Over a drink, in a queer space, he answered tough questions about trust after 2010, immigration, the arts, trans rights, Trump, and whether Westminster is next.

This week on BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! we speak with Tyler Udall - the first ever BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! photographer and a regular voice on the podcast.

Recorded during one of our MEETS at our BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café London, this episode traces Tyler’s path through a series of worlds that don’t often get connected. He began as a ballet dancer in New York, before moving through the fashion world, including as fashion editor of Dazed & Confused and AnOther magazines, before stepping away from the industry to build a photographic practice rooted in intimacy and lived experience.

Tyler is known for work that resists spectacle. His photographs focus on queer bodies as presence rather than performance, shaped by memory, vulnerability, and the politics of being seen. His undeniably personal and emotionally compelling photographs are shaped by the familiarity he has with his subjects, most of whom are friends and past lovers.

In this conversation, Tyler speaks candidly about being diagnosed HIV positive in the late 2000s, and how photography helped him process this.

We talk to two extraordinary queer filmmakers: Ira Sachs, one of the defining voices of American independent film; and Benoît Duvette, an emerging French director making waves.

Sachs to promote his latest film, Peter Hujar's Day, that centres on the legendary queer photographer Peter Hujar starring Ben Whishaw; and Duvette to talk about his recent film Eden & Charlie, which caught our attention for its tenderness and clarity of vision.
