    276: Layton Williams | Part 2

    Will we be seeing the return of Layton Williams to the stage soon? This week, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by the wonderful star of hit West End shows like Everbody's Talking About Jamie. Layton joined us for a lovely chat about his stellar career and why people shouldn't just see him in one light: as a stage star.
    We find out how he deals with headlines, where he likes to hang out in Soho and the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to him on stage. Plus, the real reason he HARD launched his relationship.

What a find

I found this podcast through the cross over with Like Minded Friends and could not be happier that I did. Heartwarming, inclusive and not afraid to tackle the big issues and concerns that affect many in the LGBTQIA+ community, I have been merrily routing through the back catalogue and have loved every episode I’ve heard. Thank you to all concerned for this thoroughly excellent podcast.
