Hello there,
Just call me Tom Daley as I dive in to the Homo Sapiens inbox for your reactions to last week’s episode with Tom Allen on why it’s hard to make friends in the queer community.
Plus I've been to the Attitude Awards and ran in to some of our esteemed future co-hosts, and you’ve been writing in about the potential trans ban at Hampstead Ponds. So we need to all rally together on this and sign/donate at the links below.
And finally I’ll be teasing Thursdays next co-host episode… can you guess who it is?

Hello everyone, please welcome our first All Star cost-host, Mr. Tom Allen!
Tom is a wonderful friend and so when you all asked us to do an episode about why it’s hard to make friends in the gay community I knew who to call: My only mate who has a top hat on his house insurance. Who knew?
Lovely episode this, and a real sign of whats to come.
Oh, and remember we're now on YouTube! You'll be able to WATCH my conversation with Tom tomorrow, so make sure you're subscribed to @homosapienspod on YouTube now!
