Pop Gays Of A Certain Age

For their 50th episode, all 7 of the Pop Gays of a Certain Age are in attendance for a chat about those artists that used to be in bands but subsequently had success as a solo act. In Part 1, four of the PGOACAs give us two "like" song choices each, plus a "dislike" choice, whilst the remaining Pop Gays take a vote to decide whether they also like or dislike the track! Brilliant (and not so brilliant) pop tunes abound, plus there's the usual "cheeky" hilarity and rambunctious banter! Come back soon for Part 2, where the remaining Pop Gays provide us with their song choices!

In Part 2 of our Bananarama special, the PGOACA preside over 12 more 'nanas songs and declare whether we'd like to SNOG, MARRY or DIVORCE them! Join the Pop Gays, including special guest Phill, as they pay homage to Bananarama's Glorious 40year-long career. Hilarity, smut and brilliant pop tunes abound, as usual!!!

Bananas, for Easter? Well, why not! The PGOACA are back with another Snog, Marry, Divorce episode! This time, the Pop Gays are focusing on one of the UK's biggest girl groups, Bananarama! They've recently released their brilliant compilation album, "Glorious - The Ultimate Collection'', so we thought it was the ideal time to jump into their back catalogue of bangers and tell you the songs we'd love to Snog, those we'd Marry and (sad times) those we'd serve Divorce papers on. We're also joined by guest Pop Gay for this episode, none other than Hot Tub Phill!

The PGOACA are back for Part 2 of our episode which shines a light on all those album tracks that should have been singles! In Part 2, you'll hear the SWC choices from Paul, Graham and Rhys. Plus we reveal all of YOUR choices and have a last minute frenzy of SWC honourable mentions!

Well hello there all you wonderful people in the world, the PGOACA are back for another fun-filled episode! Welcome to Part 1 of "Shoulda Woulda Coulda… Been A Single". What that means is this episode is all killer and no filler because we’re shining a light on all those songs that were positively ripe to be single releases, but for one extremely cruel reason or another, were all left to languish and wither away on albums, without being allowed to reach their full potential. In Part 1 there are 12 song choices that should have been singles, from 4 Pop Gays, plus each of them tell us something they "Shoulda Woulda Coulda" been in life. Come back soon for Part 2!

In this extra special episode, the Pop Gays are super thrilled to welcome a star who shone brightly on The X Factor stage in 2010, making her the fantastic runner up. Since then, this amazing artist has gifted us four chart topping albums, a cascade of hit singles and globetrotting sold out tours. She's just released her fifth (and final) album, 'Heaven Pt. II', which will be followed by a tour in 2024. With her unique vocal stylings that are 'Too Good To Lose', we're hoping that she'll 'Backtrack' through her sensational hits, because for her, 'Nothing's Real But Love'. It's the exceptional and incomparable Rebecca Ferguson!
