Mark Franks "Maybe there could have been a bit more acceptance of myself earlier on in the journey"

A Gay Old Time

Wednesday, 14 October 2026 - 1 hour 8 minutes

Nigel's guest today is Mark Franks. Mark is known as one of the members of The Overtones, a band that have been wowing on stage for 15 years now. Mark has struggled with his sexuality over the years and has suffered episodes of anxiety, worry and panic attacks. But with a new tour on the horizon Mark has never been busier and happier – as part of the group, with his own music and remixing persona, DJ Rescue Rangerz, and in his marriage to a wonderful husband. This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on TikTok @agayoldtime and on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
