Show Notes
Dennis is joined via Zoom from London by K Anderson, host of the podcast Lost Spaces. On its surface, the show is about lost queer spaces like bars and bookstores, but on a deeper level it about queer people discovering who they really are, often on a dance floor. K talks about how he first got the idea for the podcast, how doing it has changed his life, the workload of doing a podcast and why so many gay bars have shame-based names like Alibis and Incognito. He also talks about his own lost space, a gay bar in Adelaide, Australia called Mars Bar, where he had many adventures as a young man coming out. Other topics include: the bliss of making out in a nightclub, paying too much to see Diana Ross in concert, the Kylie mega-mix that he used to hate but now he's sort of come around on Kylie, small town gay bars, composing his own theme music and the thrill of getting sticky trousers on a dance floor.
