Halloween Candy Horror Stories Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

It wouldn’t be Halloween without trick-or-treating, a tradition that goes back centuries but became super popular with the proliferation of mass produced candy.
As more folks got into the festivities, so did parent’s anxieties over their kids' candy being poisoned by wicked strangers.
But for all the fear mongering out there, over the past hundred years there have only been a handful of cases involving kids being hurt or killed by tainted treats, and it was usually the kid’s own parents who did the dastardly deed.
That’s right folks, the person most likely to poison your child’s Halloween candy is you.
Today we’re taking a look at real-life Halloween candy horror stories, the few cases that made parents want to x-ray their kids' bags of treats at the hospital every year.

The Trials a Natural Bodybuilder - Aaron "Iron" Curtis Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

To form those legendary bodybuilder physiques, athletes have long relied on hard work, good food and lots of drugs.
But not everyone takes this path.
Created as a counter-movement to conventional bodybuilding, the category of natural bodybuilding places the focus on building muscle without performance-enhancing substances like anabolic steroids, growth hormone, insulin and SARMs.
But in their quest to celebrate muscle without chemistry, some contests ban anyone who’s had too many Frapuccinos.
Today Australian natural bodybuilder, father and coach Aaron Iron Curtis joins us to talk about getting banned from natural bodybuilding contests after testing positive for Jack3ed, a popular caffeinated pre-workout drink.
At the time of his ban Aaron was one of the front runners in natural bodybuilding and to this day he remains performance enhancing drug free.

Saxon for Mayor Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

Even though it does get pretty breezy here, Chicago got the nickname “The Windy City'' from its boisterous politicians who have a lot to say. Over the years, we’ve had many unusual folks run for political office, like the ACT-UP drag queen performance artist Joan Jett-Blakk who ran for Mayor of the Second City and then later tried to “Lick Bush'' in a run for the presidency.
Following that great tradition, Chicago performance artist and drag queen Jezebel À GoGo, now known as J Saxon joins us today to talk about their foray into the race to become Chicago’s next Mayor as a progressive who wants to abolish the police.
You may remember J Saxon whose first appearance ten years ago on this show “Why I became a drag queen” looked at the rising tide in favor of young people dressing up in drag to define and express themselves.

Dancing with the Stars - Rory Davis Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

San Francisco theater has had a long history of inviting everyone to shine onstage and shake their groove thing. Since the 1960’s, with performance troupes like the Cockettes, fabulous drag acts and male burlesque all incorporate anyone with a dream of being seen.
But when you have a lot of performers with stars in their eyes and two left feet, the show can grind to a halt if the choreography isn't accessible.
Today San Francisco choreographer to the stars Rory Davis joins us to talk about his work wrangling the top drag queens, movie stars and entertainers into fabulous shows.
From his Richard Simmons inspired dance classes, to coordinating some of Peaches Christ’s productions and getting the fellas to bare it all in BALONEY the popular male burlesque revue, Rory delivers the moves that make anyone shine bright like a diamond.

Monkeying Around with Monkeypox Jul 28, 2022

Show notes

Step aside AIDS, move over Covid, there’s a new plague in town: Monkeypox. This week the World Health Organization declared the spread of Monkeypox a global emergency.
Men who have sex with men are the highest risk right now, but that could change very quickly if our health care system doesnt get it under control. Even worse, if the press continues to position this as a sequel to AIDS, folks may hesistate to get help if they worry that people will think they are gay.
Today comedian Matt Brown, Ms Brown if ya nasty, joins us to take a look at the hilariously named but definitely no joke Monkeypox pandemic, and how for gay men who lived through the AIDS crisis, this feels like deja vu all over again.
