"Wherever The Queer People Were, That Was Where I Wanted To Be" (with Amelia from Pitney and Amelia's Bitchen Boutique)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
01/26/22 • 44 min
Amelia is the co-host of the podcast Pitney and Amelia's Bitchen Boutique - they may be awful, but they’re right!
(Actually, i don’t know if i agree that they are awful or right, bit it’s how they describe themselves on their show so we’re just gonna go with it....)
We caught up to talk about the Austin, Texas club The Crossing.
Now, this is one of those situations where, because the club existed before the internet did, there is NOTHING about this venue online. Which is kind of weird when you think about all the crap that IS online, but also a bit of a reminder of the importance of this project to document our memories...
We talk about letting go of toxic friends, the flouncing, bouncing flaccid dick dance of male strippers, and - one of my all-time favourite subjects - the universal appeal of scuzzy, grotty, dirty nightclubs....
Do you have any memories of The Crossing, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!

"Is There Such A Thing As Too Gay?" (with Seth from Thanks For Coming! Podcast)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
02/23/22 • 32 min
This week I am talking to Seth... no last name, just Seth... who is the former co-host of the Thanks for Coming! podcast, which recapped episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race whilst also covering queer pop culture. Alas, the show ended earlier in 2022.
Having lived in LA for a few years, Seth moved back to his college town of Bloomington, Indiana (where he had that weird experience of everything being exactly the same but also kind of different) and took the time and space to figure out his next moves. It was at this time that the gay bar Uncle Elizabeth's became so important to him, and gave him the space to become more confident in his queerness.
For some reason I try to bully Seth in to becoming a drag queen AND have sex in public during this episode... I'm not really sure why i felt the need to do that, but... well.. yeah... I sure was determined...
Let's find out how successful I was!
Do you have any memories of Uncle Elizabeth's, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share?

"I don't think anyone thought I was full-hetero" (with Lori Bell)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
10/20/21 • 52 min
So, this week is a big week. We've made it to 100 episodes. This is the 100th episode. That's weird, right? Whod've thought we'd make it this far?
100 whole episodes, and we've never been to the city where I grew up.... Adelaide. But, that's all about to change today!
I got to sit down with the comedian Lori Bell to talk all about her experiences on Adelaide's queer scene (all two venues!)... We talk all about first times, blow jobs on the dance floor, and I find out what the difference is between regular bingo and gay bingo....
Do you have any memories of Mars Bar or Edinburgh Castle, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!

"Have You Heard Of Lesbian Drama?" (with Sade Giliberti)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
02/09/22 • 45 min
The longer I do this podcast the more I'm learning about a real and very serious affliction on our community - and that is 'lesbian drama'... a few guests have now talked to me about this phenomenon, and at first I brushed it off, but the more I heard about it the more I wanted to know...
Now, if you google 'lesbian drama' you'll probably find a list of films to watch on Netflix, but dig a little deeper and you'll find the Urbandictionary.com (ah, Urbandictionary!) definition, which is:
"Drama caused by lesbians in their community because they don't know how to behave like adults"
Now, it's probably a little more nuanced than that, but that gives us a bit of a flavour of what we'll be covering in today's episode!
I'm delighted to be joined by the TV presenter, actor and media personality Sade Giliberti, who is taking Lost Spaces on its very first trip to South Africa.
We caught up to talk all about the Johannnesburg bar Ramp Divas, and, in the course of our conversation, I got to find out all about Sade's past life as a child beauty queen, what it felt like to be outed in the press, and, of course, navigating that tricky, tricky lesbian drama....
Do you have any memories of the Ramp Divas, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share?

"Two and a Half Homosexuals" (with Emerson Collins)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
10/06/21 • 66 min
Big Hair. Oil Rigs. BBQs. Beyonce...
Yes, this week we're off to Texas!
And our tour guide is actor, producer and director Emerson Collins. He's taking us back in time to The Village Station in Dallas, which was the very first gay bar he ever went to.
Though he can't remember the songs he heard that night, what he was wearing, or what performances he saw, he does remember how it felt... The excitement, dread and anticipation of a better future for himself.
We talk all about growing up as a Southern Baptist, how to lie convincingly, and being a theatre gay.

10/13/21 • 45 min
We're headed back to the lesbian bar!
My guest on this week's show, Bobby Macumber, is a comedian, MC and radio host from Melbourne.
We caught up to talk about The Glasshouse, one of Melbourne's only lesbian bars, which opened in 1991, and closed in 2011.
The Glasshouse was the very first queer bar that Bobby went to with her cricket teammates back when she was a closeted 23 year old...
In this episode we talk all about the joys of karaoke, falling in love with straight women, and coming out to your parents via e-mail...

Flirting tips, avoiding audience participation and how to spot the signs you've joined a cult (with Erika and Paul from That Aged Well)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
08/25/21 • 61 min
Erika and Paul are the co-hosts of That Aged Well, a podcast that examines 80s/90s pop culture through a modern lens.
The two have been friends for over 20 years, and were finishing each other's sentences, and volleying back and forth throughout our conversation about their lost space. And, you'll be pleased to hear, there was a higher-than-average amount of giggles and guffaws.
We met to discuss Vlada, a vodka bar in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, which was the place to be for a short time in the mid-00s (and, just as a little piece of trivia, I am in love with the fact that the owner of the bar was named Vlada Von Shats). But, you know, as is custom with this show we also talked about a bunch of other crap. Expect to hear flirting tips, advice for how to avoid audience participation, and how to spot the signs that you’ve joined a cult.
Do you have any memories from Vlada, or from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!

"The Sad, Sad Little Queer Punk With No Friends" (with Eric La Febre)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
03/16/22 • 64 min
It's the crossover episode that none of you asked for (but I promise you're going to love it!)!
If you follow me on social media (and, if you don't, why not? @lostspacespod on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook), you will have seen earlier this week that I was a guest on the NotStalgia podcast. Now, this is a really cool show, where hosts Jess and Eric discuss an original film and then they discuss its remake, and contrast and compare the two... The episode that I was on was a discussion about 'Boys in the Band', that classic queer film that was recently remade for Netflix.
So, why am I telling you this when all you want to do is hear about a lost queer space? Well, today's episode return the favour! I was lucky enough to be joined by Eric La Febre, one of the hosts of the NotStalgia show, who came on to reminisce about the lost San Franciscan punk gay bar Lucky Thirteen.
Along the way I learn a lot about the fine art of cruising, we talk all about sloppy snogging in nightclub toilets, and we have a really interesting conversation about the idea versus the reality of community....
Do you have any memories of the Lucky Thirteen, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!

Also, make sure to listen to NotStalgia wherever you find podcasts, and give them a wee follow on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/notstalgia.pod/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/NOTstalgia_pod) too (although, to be honest, they're a bit rubbish at keeping their twitter updated)!

"At Night, The Gays Come Out Like Werewolves" - with Intesar Toufic
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
06/08/22 • 49 min
You know how I always get overexcited when I learn a new word or phrase on this show?
Well, this week I was lucky enough to learn some gay Arabic terms when I sat down to talk to Intesar Toufic about growing up gay in Lebanon.
Intesar is an author, stand-up comedian, and patrona of a multinational phone-sex ring. He first started going to Acid, a club that was found in the capital Beirut, when he was in university and had just started to meet other people like him.
We talk all about community and what it means to belong at the same time as not belonging, how the club operated in a country where it's illegal to be gay, and - what could possibly be my new favourite saying - the malice of gays.
Do you have any memories of Acid, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!

What's Next For Lost Spaces?
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
05/23/22 • 1 min
Hello! I have a wee favour to ask of you....
I'm at a bit of a strange time in the life of Lost Spaces, and lately I've been thinking about what my next move is.
So, I'd really if you could complete this survey - https://forms.gle/5w5k9iVXyUieqZ4SA - to help me understand what works, what doesn't work, and how I can make the show better.
The survey shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to complete (unless you have a lot to say in the free-text questions!), and, if you complete it, I'll be your best friend forever!
Finally, thank you so much for welcoming me in to your ears every week. The show has been such a gift, and I've learnt so much in the two and a bit years I've been doing it.
