      <title>Rosie Jones: I Thought I Couldn’t Be Gay Because I Was Disabled</title>
      <description>We are joined by the unfiltered and outrageously funny Rosie Jones. The award-winning comedian, actress, and writer dives deep into the reality of dating as a disabled queer woman, why she spent years thinking she wasn’t "allowed" to fall in love, and how she’s finally embracing her happiest chapter yet.

Rosie shares the chaotic story of why she turned a romantic date into a secret Taskmaster audition, the "Date Zero" ritual that led to her current relationship, and the hilarious first kiss that ended with both her and her date realising they were gay. Get ready for a conversation packed with laughs, truth bombs, and plenty of "lesbian years."

      <title>Josh Cavallo: I Was Prepared To Quit Football To Be Myself</title>
      <description>In this episode of It Started With A Kiss, we are joined by the history-making Josh Cavallo. The professional footballer and global advocate opens up about the moment he came out to the world, the toxic masculinity of the locker room, and why he’s finally found his wings on and off the pitch.

Josh shares the hilarious story of why his fiancé originally blocked him (thinking he was a catfish), taking a 10-day trip to Bali with a total stranger, and the emotional truth behind that viral proposal. Get ready for a conversation full of heart, courage, and a whole lot of shimmying.
