About this listen

Coming out can be awkward enough. Now try it as a Catholic schoolboy in 1970s Ohio. In this fearless and funny true story, the host and founder of the hit podcast RISK! shares all.

From first grade through junior high, twelve-year-old Kevin and his best friend, Ben, were inseparable. But when Kevin divulged his biggest secret, Ben froze him out. The pint-size cold war lasted two years - until they went head-to-head for student council president. Team Ben’s smear campaign began. The school took sides. And Kevin decided to run with it.

Kevin Allison’s Two Henrys is part of This Can’t Be Happening, a collection of four true stories about making the best of a worst-case scenario curated by Kevin Allison, creator of the hit true storytelling podcast RISK! Outrageous, alarming, triumphant, and sometimes embarrassing, these fearless confessionals can be read, or listened to, in one what-on-earth-would-I-do? sitting.

Loved this!

Loved this short coming-out true story by Kevin Allison from the This Can’t Be Happening Collection! Kevin and his best friend, Ben, agree to both call each other Henry from an early age and they inseparable. Over the years, Kevin realises he is gay and that slowly puts distance between them. When Kevin comes out to Ben, it ruptures their friendship and when they both compete for class president, Ben smears Kevin’s campaign by outing him. Although that all sounds serious, this is actually a really fun memoir with a great message about accepting and respecting yourself. Kevin narrates the audiobook himself and he is utterly entertaining! (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)
