"Even Though I Was Gay, I Wasn't Limp Wrist Gay" (with Reese from Not Another Drag Race Podcast)
This week's guest is Reese Williams, host of the Not Another Drag Race Podcast.
If you follow me on social media you'll have seen this week that I was the guest on his show, spouting my ill-informed opinions about last week's episode of Drag Race UK, and now it's time to return the favour!
Reese grew up in Melbourne's outer suburbs and still remembers the long train ride he'd take to come in to the city and explore queer nightlife...
The place that's left the strongest impression on him is The Greyhound Hotel (or, as it came to be known, The GH), which was in the seaside area of St Kilda, and which was closed in 2017 to make way for some luxury flats (sound familiar?).
We talk all about taking your straight female friends out dancing, seeing drag for the first time, and we even have a little lesson in Aussie slang!
Do you have any memories of The Greyhound, 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! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
