A few weeks back I sat down with K of Lost Spaces Podcast to talk about a “lost queer space and the impact it had on me.” Their podcast episodes generally spend more time talking about each guest’s Coming Out journey than the individual establishment.
We do eventually get around to my memories of Toronto’s Club Manatee– the peeps I met there; a few adventures.
They managed to pull a coherent 40 minute episode from our 2 hour chat which you can find wherever you get podcasts. The complete title is “Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties” and the logotype is shown here. My episode is dated May 21, 2025 as Season 1 Episode 276.
While some details I mention may be new, my mental health journey and troubled youth are topics I’ve long covered here and at my Instagram account.
Aside from my episode, I recommend this podcast to anyone who’s interested in first-hand accounts of Coming Out and memories of the various lost Queer spaces. K and the podcast are on Insta as LostSpacesPod with occasional video clips.
