Feast of Fun: Gay Talk Show

Folks were left gagging when Marc announced that after 14 years of podcasting, he was taking an indefinite break to go off on an secret adventure. His special assignment would put him out of communication with everyone near and dear to him for quite some time and he’d only be able to rely on his charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to survive the challenges that lay before him. Well folks, I’m t...

The early 90s were wild, messy and outrageous times. At the height of the AIDS crisis, after a decade of Reagan and Bush, performance artists, comedians, musicians and drag queens were all busy challenging their audiences by sticking yams up their butts, throwing poop at them, and sucking whipped cream and cherries off their toes. So why does it seem like people today are more outraged than ever?...

Just when you thought The Vixen couldn’t make white people more nervous, Tyra Sanchez ups the ante with the threat of nuclear annihilation at this year’s RuPaul’s DragCon with the caveat “don’t say I didn’t warn you.” As if it couldn’t go more off the rails, drag queen Robbie Turner’s dead Uber driver still hasn’t turned up yet.

Yuhua Hamasaki says she’s “witty, sassy and gay but don’t worry she’s also cray cray” and just to prove she is indeed cray cray, she’s on Feast of Fun.

Today horror movie maniac Peaches Christ joins us to kick o...

It’s not like gay comedians are followed onstage by unicorns and rainbows to clue the audience in that they are gay, so in order for the jokes to get a laugh, the comedians have to come out of the closet every time they perform.

The death of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has sparked a heated discussion on sexuality in the media and whether the Playboy lifestyle ushered in the sexual revolution, or, did it simply commodify women’s bodies.

People have an unabashed love for those burly jocks who chase balls or ripped comic book superheroes who fight crime but many folks don’t quite know what to make of those athletes whose goal is to be the biggest baddest muther f*ckers on the stage: bodybuilders.

One of the most underrated drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race is Vivacious, mother of Ornacia, whose fan slapping, club couture and sassy sayings have become part of the language of drag.
