What if being yourself meant risking everything?
This Was Always Me is a powerful new series hosted by Rich Clarke, launching this Pride Month. Through raw, emotional conversations, it shares the untold stories of people who felt they had to hide their sexuality or gender identity — sometimes for years.
From a former Conservative MP to a Zimbabwean refugee, each episode explores the complex reasons people stay silent — including religion, politics, family, and personal safety. These are real stories of secrecy, shame, and the strength it takes to finally live your truth.
If you're looking for a Pride Month podcast that goes beyond the headlines — diving into identity, mental health, and the cost of hiding who you are — This Was Always Me is the one to hear.
🎧 The first three episodes drop Monday 9th June, including a conversation with Dame Kelly Holmes.

Description

Rich Clarke spent years feeling ashamed of his sexuality. Now he meets others who, for many different reasons, kept theirs hidden – and asks why.
From Olympic icon Dame Kelly Holmes to a Zimbabwean refugee and a former Conservative MP, these are unflinching stories of secrecy, shame, and survival.
Forget the rainbow-washed headlines — coming out isn't always safe, or even possible. Across 12 gripping episodes, Rich explores the emotional cost of hiding who you are, and what it takes to finally live your truth.
Raw, heartfelt, and long overdue — these voices are done hiding.
