Gary Wilson – A Story of Surfing, Adoption, Families, Love & Platform Shoes – Part 1

In Part 1 of this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes talks to his very special guest co-host, Gary Wilson (AKA The Gazman) about his mixtape and story. Gary is an Out, Sometimes Loud and very Proud JOY Daytimes presenter, a newsreader, the head of news, a VoiceOver artist and a writer at JOY and we all just LOVE him. He’s an adoptee, currently single, has been married, has three children and five grandchildren and has had two major male-to-male long-term relationships. He loves gardening, he bakes using wild hibiscus salt, he sings in the lower choir, is a fan of the rainbow band and chorus, loves jazz and we’ll find out what else during the podcast! His mixtape includes Judy Garland, The Supremes, Dean Martin, Beach Boys, Daddy Cool, Deep Purple, Pete Seeger, Lizzo, TV Rock, The Beatles, Johann Strauss, Ronan Keating and many, many more.
