"I Got To Kind Of Shine In My Gay-ness" - with Joshua Lobb

This week I learnt a new word, and that word is.... thelephobia... which, if you didn't know already, is the fear of nipples... And why is that important? Well, it just so happens that this week's guest, Dr Joshua Lobb - who is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Wollongong (and our first ever doctor on this show!) - happens to have a fear of nipples. But, not just any nipples. REALLY big nipples... The kind you would find on the bartenders who worked at Sydney's The Albury Hotel (which is, coincidentally, the lost space we talked about on this week's show!). We talk all about gay fashions, being intimidated by a certain type of coolness, and.... friendly groping? Do you have any memories of The Albury Hotel, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos! You can also find me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lostspacespod), Instagram (www.instagram.com/lostspacespod) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/lostspacespod) Make sure you read Joshua's book 'The Flight of Birds: a novel in twelve stories', which is available now! http://purl.library.usyd.edu.au/sup/9781743325834
