I used a gay dating app for the first time – and recorded my first date

QueerAF Podcast: Season 2, Episode 7 – This episode is brought to you by Jack’D, who asked us to investigate dating apps like their own. So we asked Sean Allsop to give it a go - listen now

In this episode: 

Sean Allsop – who you might remember from Season 2, Episode 6: I’m Gay, But I’m Also a Homophobe – returns to explore what happens when he logs onto a gay dating app for the first time.

If you haven’t heard Sean’s brave and powerful story about overcoming the internal shame of being gay, it’s worth going back for context. After that episode, Sean is understandably nervous about stepping into the world of dating apps.

With many users looking for sex rather than friendship or dating – as Sean is – we’re throwing him in at the deep end. What follows is honest, awkward, and unexpectedly moving.

Featuring:

• Sean Allsop – Producer and reporter
• Jamie Wareham – Journalist and broadcaster
