Probably True
Learn (with Sacha Coward)
Handsome, charming, talented museum worker and lockdown internet celebrity Sacha Coward talks us through some personal history, including how he learned he was gay from a medical textbook; how he learned about bumsex from his mum; and all the things he had to unlearn as he realised being gay wasn't a shameful thing.
Recorded live via Zoom as part of Rise & Shine Podcast Festival in March this year, this episode has some audio issues but stick with it if you can.

Stories of queer life and even queer-er sex.
Always interesting, definitely amusing, Probably True - the repeatedly-award-winning, slightly filthy storytelling project tackling LGBTQ issues in a fun and engaging way.
Much like its creator, it is a smutty-but-charming collection of personal misadventures working to make the world a better place, one silly, sexy story at a time.
