'Oh, You Know, The 'Gay' Thing' - with actor Paul Cram

Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

This week's episode feels like a bit of a culmination of different thoughts that have been bubbling up from recent conversations on the show.

First, there’s my realisation that I’m more of a sponge than an island — and I know that sounds cryptic, but it’s really not. It's just this idea that who we are is shaped as much by what’s going on around us as it is by what’s inside us.

Then there’s been a lot of talk about people pleasing — that’s come up in a few conversations lately too.

But don't worry, it’s not all existential crises! That’s only half of the conversation.

The other half is a lovely chat with actor and founder of the 'Men Who Read' book club, Paul Cram, about the lost Minneapolis space Jet Set, where he and his friend Robert used to go religiously, embracing the opportunity to leave behind the rest of the world if only for the evening.

Sound familiar? Yeah, me too.
