Who else but hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss could “spill the tea” on their weekly show “If These Walls Could Talk” live from Pangea Restaurant on the Lower Eastside of NYC, with their unique style of honest, and emotional interviews, sharing the fascinating backstory of celebrities, entertainers, recording artists, writers and artists and bringing their audience along for a fantastic ride.  

Harvey Brownstone will be a featured guest on “If These Walls Could Talk” with hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss on Wednesday, July 8th, 2026 at 2 PM ET live from the infamous Pangea Restaurant.

Harvey Brownstone was appointed Canada’s first openly gay judge in 1995 at the young age of 38.  For 26 years he presided in criminal and family court in the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto.  He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a best-selling book: “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court”, aimed at realistically educating the public about what really happens in family court.

He then became the first sitting judge in the world to host a prime time nationally televised talk show: “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone”, which featured world class experts to discuss the justice system, marriage breakdown, the best interests of children and more.  In 2003, when same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada, Harvey became internationally known as “the face and voice of marriage equality”, officiating at thousands of same-sex weddings, including the wedding of Edith Windsor & Thea Spyer, which triggered the US Supreme Court case that overturned the Defense of Marriage Act and paving the way for the legalization of same-sex marriage in America.  After retiring from the judiciary in 2021, he created the highly popular YouTube channel “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” featuring interviews with legendary stars from the world of movies, television and music.  The show, now in its 6th year, has over 5 million online viewers per month and is televised in the UK, with a weekly audience of over 10 million viewers.  “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” is currently ranked #12 on the Hollywood 411 List of the Top Talk Shows in the World.  Harvey’s memoir, “Without Prejudice: My Life as a Gay Judge” has been made into a Hollywood feature film directed by Shane Stanley, starring David Arquette, David Mazouz, Rachelle Lefevre, Rob Mayes, Joe Lando and Ernest Harden Jr..
