"This Small Little Queer Cosmos That I Am Living In" - with Taylor Trash

Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties - A podcast by lost queer spaces - Wednesdays

You know, it's been a while since we've had a really rambly, all-over-the-shop conversation on this show.... and, the reason that I mention this fact is because this week we've got ourselves a rambly, all-over-the-shop conversation... But that's not a bad thing!  In fact, I loved this conversation that I had with John, who is the man behind the drag character Taylor Trash.  Taylor is the host of the drag web-series competition The Gold Rush, which is just about to launch Season 3 on YouTube. So, I thought it was a good time to sit down and learn all about one of her most treasured lost spaces, London's Ghetto (which is also one of my favourite lost spaces)...  Only, it didn't quite go according to plan, and we ramble a good bit of the episode.  But, it's all good stuff, cause we get to learn about John coming out to his dad (not once, but twice!), his early days flirting with drag, and why community is so important to him.  Do you have any memories of Ghetto, 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!
