S3E15, Part 1: Marke Bieschke's Upper-Midwest (and London) Youth

Marke Bieschke, who today is a member of the 17-person Stud Collective, which owns San Francisco's oldest gay nightclub, and is the publisher/arts editor of 48 Hills and legacy keeper of the SF Bay Guardian archives, was throwing raves back when they were a novel thing.

In this podcast, Marke traces his early life, from lower Ontario farms and inner-city Detroit abandoned buildings to early techno and house nightclubs. The episode ends with a rather auspicious tip from a friend.

​We recorded this podcast via Zoom during quarantine in San Francisco in April 2020.
