Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties "As A Sort Of Lonely, Insecure, Gay Boy" (with Dave Quantic from Fruitbowl Podcast)
I got an e-mail from this week's guest saying that he'd like to be on the show. He pitched himself with something along the lines of 'I know you like talking about sex, so I think you'll be really interested in my stories!'. After feeling very judged and a smidgen shamed I responded immediately to book him!
And, so that is how Dave Quantic came on to tell me all about lost LA spaces Spike and Cuffs.
And he knows what he's talking about when it comes to sex and sexuality! Dave is the creator of Fruitbowl - an oral history podcast about queer sex and lives where he talks to people about their personal journeys.
We chat all about the magic of a scuzzy dive bar, the pains of removing body hair, and Dave tries to help me figure out what my kink should be....
