In Part 2 of this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes continues talking to his very special guest co-host, Robert Gibson about his mixtape. Robert has been out and proud since his school days, is a journalist, an activist and was a DJ at many of the gay venues back in the early 80s. His mixtape and story lead us on a journey that explores his activism over the years and includes some of the favourite gay songs of the 70s, 80s and 90s. We also learn much about the venues around Melbourne in that era.
