MORE: Part 2 of this interview coming soon, in which Josh tells the story of meeting, wooing, and marrying his husband and then the lifechanging process of having children.
Journalist, presenter and comedian, Josh Szeps has never hidden the fact he’s gay, which is unusual in a media landscape with seemingly bottomless pockets of homophobia. On ABC Radio, he happily drops references to “my husband” and “our kids”.
He honed his disarming on-air style on the ground-breaking HuffPost Live, which he presented in New York.
He’s had his nipples tweaked by Russell Brand, who outed him during their interview, allowed Jeremy Irons to drop a clanger on marriage equality, and had a beautiful moment with Ian McKellen.
In Australia, his career is dotted with fascinating byways: The Project, Weekend News Breakfast, the irreverent John Howard’s Diary, Australian Idol Backstage, and he voiced Olympic mascot Olly The Kookaburra!
