Episode Description

How did gay men find each other before Grindr, Scruff and Squirt?

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we share some of our favourite saucy moments to honour a tradition as old as time - cruising. We also talk with some extra special guests: Mike Binis, one of the original workers at Lateshift Gay Men’s Club, as well as artist and cruising historian Shaun Thomas McGill.

Whether it’s a walk down memory lane or learning some important queer history, there’s something in this episode for everyone.
