'That's Where Cruising Tends To Happen...' - with Marcus McCann

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

So, this week we’re doing something a little different. Rather than visit a lost space we’re setting out to answer the question ‘is the ancient art of cruising about to be lost?’.

I know that's a fairly dramatic question, but there are a number of factors - like hook up apps and the over-gentrification of our cities - that seem to threaten these little discreet woodlands or private beaches from offering a secret place for people to meet and do the things that they do...

Anyway, to help me answer this question I am joined by Marcus McCann, who is the writer of the book Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path. And, after writing a whole book about cruising I think he may know a thing or two about the subject.

If you've ever wanted:

• tips on how to improve your cruising skills
• to know what the biggest lessons that come from mastering the art of cruising are
• understand the impact the pandemic had on people going out in nature

then I think this is the episode for you!
