New 'Boys! Boys! Boys!' podcast explores queer art and identity

Boys! Boys! Boys!, the biannual queer magazine that promotes queer and gay photography from The Little Black Gallery, is debuting its new Boys! Boys! Boys! podcast with award-winning podcaster and Virgin Radio DJ Graeme Smith.

The first six episodes are available now on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and iHeart, and new episodes will drop every two weeks.

“Our podcast fills a void about art, queer, culture that you cannot find anywhere else. Since nobody else was doing this, I said ‘F*** it, let’s do it ourselves,’” says Boys! Boys! Boys! founder, Ghislain Pascal.

“It seemed a natural progression of the Boys! Boys! Boys! brand. Ever since we opened our Boys! Boys! Boys! Gallery Café in London last autumn, we’ve been having our weekly Boys! Boys! Boys! Meets with some amazing guests. It seemed silly not to record and share these to a wider audience alongside our other content,” Pascal explains.

“We are so lucky to have award-winning podcaster Graeme as our host and producer. He is as passionate as I am about promoting queer culture in a positive light,” says Pascal.

Here’s what’s happening on the first six episodes of the new Boys! Boys! Boys! podcast, available now onSpotify,Apple,Amazon, and iHeart.

In episode one, host Graeme Smith chats with photographer Charles Moriarty, best known for his intimate early portraits of Amy Winehouse. They discuss queer identity through photography, vulnerability in portraiture, and how his work has evolved.

Then Boys! Boys! Boys! Meets introduces photographer Stuart Linden Rhodes, known for his raw, nostalgic imagery and capturing the essence of queer British youth.

In episode two, film Joe Stephenson joins Jorge Garriz at the Boys! Boys! Boys! Gallery Café. They discuss queer storytelling on screen, working with icons like Ian McKellen, and navigating the industry as a gay filmmaker. Later, Benji Johnson talks with the creative duo behind The Summer Carmen.

In episode three, Graeme speaks to internationally acclaimed artist AdeY about the politics of the body, choreographing stillness, and finding freedom in form.

In Boys! Boys! Boys! Meets, Marcelino Sambé, principal dancer at The Royal Ballet, joins Jorge Garriz to discusses the power and poetry of queer visibility in classical dance.

In episode four, photographer Sean Patrick Watters joins Graeme to share insights about shooting vulnerability, building trust with his subjects, and documenting the men of modern Manhattan. Then Boys! Boys! Boys! founder Ghislain Pascal visits the home studios of NYC photographers Sebastian Perinotti and Mauricio A Rodriguez for a raw and unfiltered look into their work, influences, and private lives.

Attitude magazine and Rolling Stone UK editor Cliff Joannou joins Jorge Garriz for a rare live interview. The pair discusses media representation, activism in publishing, and the state of LGBTQ+ journalism. Benji Johnson chats with up-and-coming LGBTQ+ musician Dont Make This Weird.

In episode six, Graeme chats with the queer photographer Tyler Udall. Then Michele Robecchi, Phaidon's Arts Editor & Commissioning Editor, talks about everything books with Jorge Garriz.
