Paul Cram’s podcast vlogs are a little bit of everything—because his brain never stays in one place for too long. One day, he’s deep-diving into the perfect indie perfume; the next, he’s ranting (lovingly) about film tropes, sharing behind-the-scenes acting stories, or dissecting a book that’s too good (or too messy) not to talk about. If it’s fascinating, weird, or just stuck in his head, he’s probably recording a vlog about it. So, pull up a chair, press play, and get curious.
"H is for Hawk" Review: Grief, Goshawks & a Queer Arthurian Twist 🦅📚
In this review of H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald, I dive into the unexpected layers of grief, falconry, and the inclusion of author T.H. White—best known for The ...Sword in the Stone—whose queerness and struggles add surprising depth.
This book is poetic, contemplative, and, honestly, a bit niche. I share what struck me most (hello, people-pleaser epiphany), what my book club thought, and who I’d actually recommend it to. Spoiler: probably not everyone. Unless you’re really into birds. 🐦

The Day My Grandma Made Space for Queer Love—Right at the Kitchen Table
When I was a kid, I sat at my Grandma Mabel’s cozy kitchen table with ...
When I was a kid, I sat at my Grandma Mabel’s cozy kitchen table with just her and my mom—a rare moment in a big, noisy family. That day, my ...grandma brought up something unexpected: a family member or close friend had been calling her, crying, because he was in love with another boy. She didn’t judge. She listened. She made space.
What happened next—and what didn’t happen—stayed with me for years. In this video, I revisit that conversation, how my mom responded with Bible verses, and how my grandma, quietly but powerfully, reminded us all that being queer isn't just about sex—it's about love.
As a queer adult looking back, I realize now what a gift that moment was. Maybe Grandma didn’t know I was listening… or maybe she did.
🧡 Thank you, Grandma. I needed that.
👉 If you’ve ever had someone make space for you in a sideways, unexpected way—drop a comment. I’d love to hear it.

What does it really mean to be a man today?
In this review of For the Love of Men by Liz Plank, I dig into her deeply empathetic and research-backed exploration ...of masculinity. Plank challenges the outdated roles men are often forced into—like always having to be the white knight or hiding their softness—and offers a new path that’s more free, more honest, and more human. 💙
✨ Whether you're a man, love a man, or are just curious about the evolving conversation around gender, this one's worth your time.
