The golden age of cruising... No one has quite pinpointed the exact years of this magical era, but the 70s were definitely a part of it. It was post-Stonewall, so there was a new kind of hope and enthusiasm, and it was pre-AIDs and HIV, which meant there was less shame attached to sex. 

And, it was at the tail end of the 70s that this week's guest, the award winning filmmaker Glenn Gaylord first moved to LA from Ohio. At this point he was too young to go to the clubs, but too horny to stay home, and so he found himself gravitating towards the gay bookshop Drake's. There was tonnes of cruising that happened inside Drake's, but there was also a LOT that happened on the streets surrounding the business... Like, a lot a lot... like, hard to believe how much sex was happening.

But, don't take my word for it! Let's hear from Glenn.
