The DanNation Cast

On today's show, Jeremy Hooper from Good As You joins me to discuss last week's Chick-fil-A nonsense and his new book: If It's a Choice, My Zygote Chose Balls: Making Sense of Senseless Controversy.

Jeremy is long-time editor of his blog, Good As You. His significant contributions to LGBT awareness and our fight for marriage equality make him a blogging hero of mine.

So, kick back and take a listen. You can also order your copy of Jeremy's book here.

Please join me and my lovely and sexy guest, Gustav - "The Modern Nomad." Gustav - who is from Sweden - and I met at Burning Man this past fall and he stayed with us for several weeks. He is traveling the world indefinitely:

My name is Gustav Andersson. After working a 9-5 job for five years, I realized that I was slowly stagnating into a comfortable routine — a personal nightmare of mine. So I quit my job, sold my flat and walked away from the well-trodden streets of London. Like the Phoenix, I rose out of the ashes of my old life as a (melodramatic) nomad!

The nomadic life is an experiment. Can you live a full life without a fixed address? Can you work and love as a nomad? Will you go mad living out of a backpack? Is the freedom of the road real or simply a mirage?

Oh, yea. Did I say he's super hot??? Fill up that glass of champagne and kick back while you listen about a life you wished you had!

Join Dan as he welcomes Justin Utley to the show to hear about his new album 'Nothing This Real.' Justin is a gay Mormon who takes his life experience and turns it into music for the rest of us. Take a listen as we discuss Mormon missions, David Archuleta, ex-gay therapy, the Hotel Utah in San Francisco and discuss boyfriends.

And be sure to visit http://dannation.org to read/see more about our favorite gay celebrities.

Writer Scott Alexander Hess joins Dan to discuss his recent book "Diary of a Sex Addict." Hear about this amazing debut novel and all the other gay-themed projects on which Scott is working!

Scott’s fiction has appeared in the Thema Literary Journal and Omnia Revitas Review. Richard Labonte of Bookmarks calls Scott’s gritty new novel Diary of a Sex Addict “relentlessly erotic and divinely written.” Scott’s first novel, Bergdorf Boys was serialized in Ganymede Journal. He is working on his new novel The Jockey set in rural Arkansas and New York City circa 1918. His screenplay, Tom in America is being produced by Queens Pictures in 2012, and his play BJ , which explores transgenderism in America, won a NYC Fringe Festival Jury Award for Excellence. An essay of Scott's will be included in Leslie Smith's new book of essays coming out Spring 2012 published by Magnus Press. Scott lives in Manhattan.

Join Dan as he chats about gay sex and interviews Simon Walton, a hot new gay singer from the UK. They share thoughts on Simon's musical career and inspiration, discuss coming out (and Simon shares his advice to those of you in the closet) and Dan features Simon's songs "Men and Their Machines," "The Lover Feat," and "What About You."

Join Dan as he chats with Jackson & Coleman - otherwise known as Elephant, a gay twin brother rapping duo. Today, we'll talk about their careers, growing up (and getting bullied) in Oklahoma, Burning Man (yes - I had to slip that in) and listen to their hit new song "Queer Nation."

Check out the hot duo...

Dan interviews gay "granola" boys Dusty and Garet who share their new endeavor, Scenic Boy Adventures. The boys discuss their outdoor adventures in the Pacific NW National Parks, Burning Man and have some fun conversations along the way.
