In the very first episode of BackRoom Chats, we start where it all began.

We introduce ourselves, how we found our place in the gay community, and the path that eventually led to Backroom Gear.

We talk about our early days taking photos at Brisbears, stepping further into the community, and what it felt like walking into BootCo for the first time. It didn’t take long before it felt like home, even if our first night came with a few unexpected moments… including an older couple and their fine china collection.

We also introduce a new weekly segment, Kink of the Week.

This episode, we keep it light and a bit cheeky while talking about water sports, including a funny story about Darren’s first experience.

BackRoom Chats is about queer culture, community, and the stories that don’t always get passed down. From nightlife and leather spaces to the conversations that used to happen behind closed doors, this is about keeping those stories alive.
