Summary

Spencer Thomas — TikTok creator, author, and self-described pursuer of gay shit — joins Zach for a wide-ranging conversation about growing up closeted in rural Connecticut, coming out at 16, writing his debut book Goodbye to Boyhood at 21, and moving to NYC to chase his dreams. They dig into gay bar culture in New York and Boston, straight people colonizing queer spaces, solo travel to Peru, what it means to build community as a young gay man, and why every opening of Hinge kills an angel.
