Podcast alert: Queer Encounters
Dan Morgan explores how men search for and experience connection and intimacy.
Queer Encounters is a podcast about the ways queer people find and connect with each other.
Host Dan Morgan meets strangers in queer spaces — parks, bars, beaches — and chats about what brings them there, what they’re looking for, and what connection means today.
Some conversations are brief, others open up into something funny, honest, or surprising.
From quiet paths to crowded nights out, Queer Encounters explores the small moments that shape queer life — cruising for connection, one conversation at a time.
Episodes will be released weekly. The first episode is now available.
Episode 1: Recovery, Heritage, and the Fuck Tree.
One minute it's a party on the Heath, the next someone shouts 'Police!' and 40 people are running for their lives.
In this episode, Dan Morgan sits down with an artist and long-time local who has seen it all. They discuss the deep-rooted queer history of the Heath, the infamous ‘Fuck Tree’, and a powerful personal journey from addiction to finding new kinds of queer spaces in recovery.
It’s an intimate, reflective, and surprisingly funny conversation.
