Description

<p>My guest today has experienced reality TV as both a viewer and a participant. Growing up in Australia, Antony’s window to the world was watching American daytime talk shows like <em>Oprah</em> and <em>Ricki Lake</em>, where he’d occasionally catch an episode with queer guests. But it was after he moved to Hong Kong that he discovered a queer community that felt like home — and then when a friend invited him to appear on a dating show called <a href="https://youtu.be/cCr64BHcWjQ?si=eRWvqEkMw2ckj_FK"><em>Boyscation Too</em></a>, he decided to try becoming one of those queer TV personalities he caught glimpses of in his youth.</p><p>We’ll have that conversation in a minute. And by the way, if you want to watch Antony’s dating show experience, <a href="https://youtu.be/cCr64BHcWjQ?si=eRWvqEkMw2ckj_FK">all episodes are now streaming free on YouTube with English subtitles</a>.</p><p>Also, if you’re enjoying <em>The Sewers of Paris</em>, I hope you’ll consider supporting the show on Patreon.
