<p>Ahead of season two of <i>Smoggie Queens</i>, Rob heads to The Clubhouse with actor Peter McPherson for a funny, honest and surprisingly deep conversation about identity, performance, body image and growing up queer in the North East.</p><p>From working men’s clubs in Hartlepool to drama school reinvention, self-tapes, soap operas, gym culture and the politics of who gets to tell which stories, this one moves from laugh-out-loud backstage gossip to genuinely thoughtful debate.</p><p>Peter talks about returning home through <i>Smoggie Queens</i>, learning BSL, navigating the acting industry as a gay performer, and why the things we try hardest to hide are often the things that make us unique. There’s also plenty of chat about Corrie, Hollyoaks, Gregg’s, amateur sports clubs and the strange world of being “shown off” in your parents’ local working men’s club.</p><p>Warm, sharp, camp and unexpectedly moving — just like the best nights at the clubhouse bar. </p><p>#StageDoorAthletic #SmoggieQueens #BBCThree #PeterMcPherson #LGBTQStories #QueerTV #BritishComedy #NorthernVoices #ActorLife #BehindTheScenes #TheatrePodcast #TVPodcast #Greggs #ChosenFamily #BSL #BritishActors #PhilDunning #QueerCulture</p><p>Hosts: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/jackloxton1/" target="_blank">Jack Loxton</a> &amp; <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/robshawcameron/" target="_blank">Rob Shaw Cameron</a><br />Edited by: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/robshawcameron/" target="_blank">Rob Shaw Cameron</a><br />Guest: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/peter_mcpherson_?igsh=ZDAwa2hrazJ3d2hh" target="_blank">Peter McPherson</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/jackloxton1/" target="_blank">@jackloxton1</a> </p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/robshawcameron/" target="_blank">@robshawcameron</a></p><p>@<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/peter_mcpherson_?igsh=ZDAwa2hrazJ3d2hh" target="_blank">peter_mcpherson_</a></p><p><b>Stage Door Athletic</b> is a [NON]FICTION PEOPLE Podcast © [NON]FICTION PEOPLE Ltd</p><p>PRS Licence: LC-002182</p><p>Visit our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://nonfictionpeople.com/podcasts/" target="_blank">website</a> for more information on this and other great podcasts.</p><p>Published by <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://riverside.com/" target="_blank">RiversideFM</a></p><p>Need Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac ℗ This compilation 2009 Sony Music Entertainment UK</p>
