Before Grindr, before the internet, before any of it — older gay men found each other anyway. Romp is the podcast that captures how they did it. Host Murry talks to gay men about the lives they actually lived — the cruising grounds, the contact ads, the saunas, the bars, the loves and losses of decades when being gay meant making it up as you went along with no map and no one to ask. Every episode also features How I Got My Lottery Numbers, in which Murry reads from his own little black book — a diary of his dates from the early nineties that became, when the lottery launched in 1993, his six

    Mark - (3) Thrown Out at 16 — From Grimsby to Japan, One Gay Man's Journey Through the 1980s and Beyond

    In the final part of my chat with Mark we start off in Lincolnshire, moving quite quickly to Melbourne, Oz where he settles in to dating and the gay scene and someone gets a warm hand on their entrance.... We also talk about his meaningful tune for the Spotify playlist and I finally get to talk about how I got my lottery numbers, with the number 22. As per usual, its explicit throughout.

    The 2nd part of three with Mark. In this episode we've moved to Japan (Tokyo) and will eventually move on to Thailand (Bangkok) and we will hear tales of bicycle theft, being both Gaijin and Hentai and the perils of dating when you dont know another man's preferences before you got there.... There are explicit reference and swearing throughout and also a description of death.

    Mark - (1) Thrown Out at 16 — From Grimsby to Japan, One Gay Man's Journey Through the 1980s and Beyond

    Mark grew up in Grimsby in the early 1980s with no language for what he was and no one to ask. He came out, got thrown out of his family home at sixteen, and made his way through London, Brighton, Leicester and Sheffield before a cheese and tomato sandwich in Japan on his first night in a country he'd never been to. Three episodes. Quite a life.
