'That's Where Cruising Tends To Happen...' - with Marcus McCann
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties - A podcast by lost queer spaces - Wednesdays
So, this week we’re doing something a little different. Rather than visit a lost space we’re setting out to answer the question ‘is the ancient art of cruising about to be lost?’. I know that's a fairly dramatic question, but there are a number of factors - like hook up apps and the over-gentrification of our cities - that seem to threaten these little discreet woodlands or private beaches from offering a secret place for people to meet and do the things that they do... Anyway, to help me answer this question I am joined by Marcus McCann, who is the writer of the book Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path. And, after writing a whole book about cruising I think he may know a thing or two about the subject. If you've ever wanted: tips on how to improve your cruising skills to know what the biggest lessons that come from mastering the art of cruising are understand the impact the pandemic had on people going out in nature then I think this is the episode for you!
