Graeme Smith sits down with actor, writer, and queer trailblazer Darryl Stephens, the star whose breakout role in hit US network TV show Noah’s Arc became a defining moment for Black queer visibility on screen.Two decades from that show's first broadcast, and this year with Noah's Arc: The Movie, Darryl reflects on the show’s legacy and what it meant to millions who finally saw their own stories represented. He speaks candidly about navigating Hollywood as a gay Black man, how the industry has evolved, and where it still falls short.We also get personal. Darryl is now a father, and he reflects on how parenthood has transformed his routines, his connection to the LA gay scene, and his own sense of self. What does fatherhood look like when your community, your career, and your identity have been shaped by queerness and visibility?Finally, we dive into his creative life beyond acting including writing and storytelling.Brought to you by BOYS!

Two groundbreaking choreographers join us live from The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in Fitzrovia, London. Arthur Pita talks craft, career, and the queer imagination behind his work. Jonathan Watkins discusses launching Ballet Queer, the UK’s first LGBTQ+ ballet company.We begin with Arthur Pita, the South African-born dancer turned award-winning choreographer whose career spans contemporary dance, opera, theatre, film and television. Known for his bold theatricality and emotionally charged storytelling, Arthur speaks with Jorge Gariz about the evolution of his work, from his early training to major international commissions and how queer identity threads itself through both his creative instincts and his process. He reflects on collaboration, risk-taking, and the unapologetically dramatic movement language that has made him one of the most distinctive choreographic voices working today.Later in the episode, we’re joined by choreographer & director Jonathan Watkins, whose recent adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man, starring Edward Watson and with singer John Grant, has been hailed as one of the year’s most inventive crossovers of literature, dance and live music. Jonathan introduces us to his new company Ballet Queer, the UK’s first dedicated LGBTQ+ ballet company, sharing his vision for reshaping the form with stories and bodies that have long existed backstage but rarely at the centre of the stage.Brought to you by BOYS!

In this episode of The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Breakfast Club, the team dives into the state of queer culture at a time of triumphs, cancellations, and cultural resets.Photographer Tyler Udall joins from Berlin, bringing his trademark insight on art and identity, alongside Michelle Robecchi, commissioning editor at Phaidon and a sharp observer of how the art world frames and sometimes sidelines queer narratives.Together with BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! founder Ghislain Pascal and host Graeme Smith, they unpack why major museums still hesitate to show queer work even as The Queer Lens at the Getty breaks attendance records, what Netflix’s cancellation of The Ultimatum: Queer Love says about visibility on screen, and why the closure of London’s G.A.Y. bar may signal a new kind of queer space emerging.Brought to you by BOYS!
