Emma and Lizzie chat to Red Hot creator and photographer Thomas Knights all about how his ambition to showcase attractive ginger men has transformed society's perception of the redheaded male.

From embracing freckles and paleness to celebrating actual ginger pubes, Red Hot has taken over the world with its calendars, exhibitions, books and clothing, and most definitely can be used as a reference point to empower other redheads to feel red hot too.

Learn how the power of ginger pride and gutsy self-belief can turn the stereotype of red hair on its head and make being ginger cool.

In the first episode of the Ginger Parrot Podcast, Emma and Lizzie talk to Jacky Colliss Harvey, red-haired historian and author of 'Red: A History of the Redhead' and illustrated journal 'My Life as a Redhead'.

We gush about making pals at some of the world's redhead events and we sigh about some of the Everyday Gingerism we've experienced, all while sipping a tasty (yet oh-so strong) ginger-themed drink.

Sit back and marvel in all the history behind redhead stereotypes and even learn about how gingers' scent can be like catnip to some people. Always get permission before sniffing!
