Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

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...

Do you have any memories of The Glasshouse, 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! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!

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.

"I don't think anyone thought I was full-hetero" (with Lori Bell)

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....
