The design of our communities is an intentional act that often excludes and doesn’t center folks at the margins. Queer For Cities is a podcast about life at the intersections of identity and place and designing equity-centered, liberated communities where LGBTQ+ folx thrive.
When we build queer-inclusive cities, we build better cities for everyone.
Hosted by Joshua Croke, a queer and nonbinary designer, facilitator, and mixed-media artist working at the intersections of community justice, urban development, and creative placemaking, this podcast is a journey into the heart of New England's cities and beyond. We’re diving into the heart of queer urban life, from community health to the creative economy, and everything in between.
We’re out to make queer a joyful norm.
In our debut season, we’re exploring what makes a city not just livable but a truly affirming and joyful place for queer and trans folks. We're bringing together voices from across the spectrum — from activists and artists to urban planners and architects — to share their stories, challenges, and triumphs in creating spaces where queer people thrive.
We’re coming in loud and queer. Hit that Subscribe button to follow and listen to Queer For Cities wherever you get your podcasts. Follow our journey, and let's envision and create cities where queer is a joyful norm.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
