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

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

How do queer spaces help to shape people's lives? Why are they so important to the LGBTQ+ community? What is the impact of losing these spaces? Lost Spaces explores these questions (and more!) through conversations with members of the LGBT community. Each week host K Anderson sits down with a different guest to discuss a space from their past, why it was important to them, and how it helped shape who they are. Expect conversations about coming out, going out, and getting down. And snogging strangers on sweaty dancefloors. We can't talk about gay history without that coming up.

[…] It's also just really hard and it just takes up so much of my capacity and one of the original aims with the show, one of the things that I always wanted to do was to take these stories and write songs about them, but that fell to the wayside quite quickly. I mean, it was a combination of COVID and everything that was going on, but anyway, it fell to the wayside, and these last few months, with that I have been having this break, I have been like, I need to scratch that itch again, but I don't think I'm going to be able to scratch that itch if I'm still doing this podcast, so I've decided to continue the break with this show, and I'm going to see where things go with it, which is kind of not very definitive, and it's a bit wishy -washy, and I'm really sorry, but that's how I'm feeling at the moment.
