EP001 – Mr. Anvil Phoenix Weekend + Melrose Yoga

Welcome to the very first episode of the GayPHX Podcast — your new home for authentic conversations, community connection, and queer joy in the Valley of the Sun.
In this special extended pilot episode, we shine a spotlight on Mr. Anvil Phoenix Weekend, hosted by the Arizona Men of Leather. We sit down with:
- Dave Watt, current Mr. Phoenix Leather
- Earl Gray, Mr. San Diego Leather 2024
- Aric Wilson, Mr. SoCal Leather and judge for this year’s contest
And a special business spotlight with Melrose Yoga, bringing body positivity and connection to the community
You’ll also hear our “What’s Happening” rundown for the week — and get a preview of what’s to come in future episodes, including interviews, event highlights, and the people who help make Phoenix so vibrant and queer.
Whether you’re deep in the leather scene or just finding your place in the community, we’re glad you’re here. 💙
