(Betrothed) boyfriends and lifelong sport fans Kieran Wellington and Henry Moloney speak about sport with a big, gay BANG 💥🌈
It's a (mostly) silly, but a (hopefully always) entertaining look at sport that will certainly be different to the chat you hear down your local boozer! 🍻
Please email any suggestions, questions or contributions to gayscanplay@hotmail.com and we'll read the best out on the podcast!
Love, the GCP boys xx

Eur-ho-vision: Songs in Sport and Arsenal CHAMPIONS!
The boys host their own Eur-ho-vision with the best and worst of songs in sport, whilst Henry gloats (just a bit) about Arsenal's North London 4eva era, he knew all along they'd win the double - (almost).
Add a touch of Gaily News and more SM Gems from Cole Palmer (who else) and you've got yourself a sports podcast, right?!

Sportspeople in adverts, plus Arteta and Cleverley football geniuses(!)
Season '26 is here! After an injury-hit campaign last term, the boys are back with all the silliness and humour you associate them with.
They start by discussing their football teams - and maybe, finally, a title for Arsenal?!
They then dive into the commercial archives to bring you some of the best - and worst - adverts featuring sportspeople. Think underwear, topless golf on the beach and tikka masala sauce. Not all at once.

BUMPER episode! The pod's first complaint, Posh or Not and football's BACK!
The nights may be drawing in, but these boys never settle for a bore draw!
Henry and Kieran revel in their first complaint - along with some nicer messages from listeners - whether a new number 9 for Arsenal and (another) new manager for Argyle will change fortunes for their football teams - and what sports they believe to be 'posh' or 'not posh', with advance apologies for Kieran's guttural noises.
Plus, Henry's latest SM Gem shines a light on the most glamorous woman in football.

Season '25! Darts walk-ons, SM gems and a new soundboard
It's 2025, the boys are betrothed, and buzzing to bring season two of Gays Can Play to your podcast platforms!
It doesn't take long for the usual silliness to ensue, with Kieran let loose on some new sound effects, Henry keen to highlight a surprising sexy footballer in the new feature called Social Media (SM) Gems, and what song will they choose as their darts walk-on?
Recorded on 1 May 2025.

Rainbow Laces - does it ACTUALLY represent the LGBT+ community?
Henry and Kieran are back, albeit fashionably late, to Rainbow Laces.
(OK here's the truth, we recorded this in December 2024, but we've been busy wedding planning since!)
Henry and Kieran try to untie the knots and controversy caused by the Rainbow Laces campaign, bringing in key viewpoints from LGBT+ players and managers in the game such as Zander Murray, Luke Tuffs and Jahmal Howlett-Mundle.
They then descend into their usual silliness by rating Premier League captains as potential gay icons.
Comment with your thoughts on Rainbow Laces and LGBT promotion/inclusivity in sport either here or to our social media pages, or email us: gayscanplay@hotmail.com

Olympics Special
As the clocks go back marking the end of British Summer Time, and "brat summer" becomes a fleeting memory, the (recently engaged!) boys are keeping it alive through the brat-letics memories offered up by The Olympics.
What other podcast discusses gay Olympics highlights, Supermarket Sweep, drag, Mario Kart, mincing races and... penis?! All in one very generous package ;)
Kieran and Henry also take the time to celebrate the achievements of LGBTQ+ athletes all around the world such as Nikki Hiltz, Jack Woolley, Cindy Winner Djankeu Ngamba, Tom Daley and Campbell Harrison, applauding their strength and defiance in the face of adverse news coverage.

The Gay Euros, twerking cricketers, and dark rooms
The boys are back in your ears!
After a break to attend (very straight) beer gardens during the Euros, Henry decided to attend the (very gay) Eurogames in Vienna.
Learn more about why it's the gayest sports tournament around and what was compared to a Thorpe Park scare maze.
Kieran's happy because it's summer, which means cricket - Gaily News covers cricketing eyewear, Metro Bank heritage (no, me neither), and raging - or raving - homosexuals.
