Before Grindr, before the internet, before any of it — older gay men found each other anyway. Romp is the podcast that captures how they did it.

Warm, funny and moving - well worth a listen!
These podcasts brim with humanity. Dealing with intimacy, love, privacy and life with such emotion. I have laughed, held my breath and wept with the stories told. The mundanity and extraordinary elements are given space to be amazing. The rapport between the interviewer and the story tellers is wonderfully rich. I cannot wait for the next episode to drop.

Absolutely brilliant, I particularly loved episode 2 with Ron. What a fascinating insight into his life.
