From 2020 – 2022, Stu hosted the award-winning podcast Some Families with Lotte Jeffs which was the first ever podcast dedicated to LGBTQ+ families. It won a gold award at the 2021 British Podcast Awards with the judges saying “what impresses most about the presenters is just how eloquent they are. A much needed podcast that covers important topics”.[3] The podcast also received critical acclaim with Elle saying “A truly brilliant parenting podcast for everyone. I laughed, cried and was thoroughly inspired by these LGBTQ+ parents sharing their incredible stories with Lotte and Stu. A must listen for all.” The Times said Some Families was “warm, funny and insightful”.[4]
