<p>This week’s guest on the pod is Olly Alexander. You may know him from playing Ritchie Tozer in the Channel 4 series It’s A Sin, or maybe as the lead singer in the band Years &amp; Years, or when he represented the UK in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Olly has achieved so much in such a short space of time, but as this conversation shows, it wasn’t always that easy. He and Pete tackle the issue of identity, self-loathing and learning to accept and be proud of who you are – and the difficulties of the concept of pride in general.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>If you want to find mental health support where you live, or talk about your feelings, visit the Hub of Hope (<a href="http://www.hubofhope.co.uk">www.hubofhope.co.uk</a>) where you can find links to services across the UK.&nbsp;</p><p>We’d love you to join in the conversation, to do so follow @manmadepod on Instagram &amp; TikTok&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For Biscuit Jim&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Lead producer – Elly Lazarides&nbsp;</p><p>Talent Booker – Lana Webb&nbsp;</p><p>Assistant Producer – Beth Linnell&nbsp;</p><p>Executive Producer – Geoff Jein&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For Bauer Media Group:&nbsp;</p><p>Social Media Producer - Serena Bhardwaj&nbsp;</p><p>Lead Video Producer Editor - Greg Stocks&nbsp;</p><p>Camera Operator and Edit Assistant - Owen Nosal&nbsp;</p><p>Head of Video – Edie Jefferys&nbsp;</p><p>Chief Creative Officer – Lucie Cave&nbsp;</p>
