Feast of Fun: Gay Talk Show

Interviews with amazing people, comedians and LGBTQ+ legends, with pop culture and politics wrapped up in a delicious candy coating of camp.

Hosted by Puerto Rican drag queen Fausto Fernós and his husband, Norwegian reality TV star Marc Felion, Feast of Fun began as one of the original 50 podcasts featured on iTunes in 2006, and celebrated by Apple: Feast of Fun “helped bring podcasting from an underground movement to a mainstream phenomenon.” Five time winner of the People’s Choice Podcast Award for Best LGBT podcast.

We’ve done thousands of shows with wonderfully wild people, LGBTQ legends and their friends, and tackle the tough questions like: is Sasquatch a drag queen? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop?

Subscribe and join us as we chat with gay musicians, counterculture comedians, trans pirates, lesbian warriors and pagan witches and celebrate the ridiculous and transform pain into pleasure.

FOF #3000 - And the Feast Goes On Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

It’s the 3000th episode of Feast of Fun, the Gay Talk Show that (accoring to Apple) “helped pave the way to bring podcasting from an underground movement to a mainstream phenomenon.”
Today we celebrate like a bridesmaid at a destination wedding who’s had way too much to drink. We are spilling all the delicious tea, iced of course and looking at how everyone’s lives have changed as a result of podcasting, the Internet and Feast of Fun.
A lot for you and me has changed:
Transgender and queer people of color visibility is at an all time high, PrEP is a pill that effectively blocks all new HIV infections, LGBTQ folks can now serve openly in the military, and most important, cake sitting activists finally brought marriage equality into reality.
But it’s not all been good news, the Internet and podcasting ushered in a new rise of facism, social media is used as a tool for disinformation and a global pandemic is in full swing as right wingers deny it even exists.
Over the years, we’ve had the honor and pleasure of chatting with legends like Debbie Reynolds, George Takei, RuPaul, Carol Channing, Elvira and everyday artists who rose to become some of the most celebrated entertainers in the world.
But this time, we’re putting ourselves in the hot seat, as we unlock some of the dark, dirty secrets hiding in our vault of horrors.

FOF #2999 - Muscle Worship Adventures Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

When people hear about muscle worship, where jacked up guys get oiled up, kissed and caressed by their admirers, the reaction usually is either titillation or distaste.
But for those turned on by a muscular physique, whether it’s bodybuilders, bears, otters, or jocks in speedos, muscle worship is an exhilarating celebration of the body.
Let’s Grow Big Together! A podcast that makes your legs weak, but that’s because yesterday was leg day.
In this series, we’re taking a look at the passion for muscle: how to build it, how to keep it, muscle gods and muscle worship, and how LGBT folks are connected to bodybuilding.
Today we’re talking to a man we call Muscle Worship Bill, whose anonymous Instagram account Slave to the Muscle states “I pay to worship muscle.” While Bill’s identity is kept a secret, he’s happy to share his stories about what it’s like to kneel before a muscle god’s beefy brawn.

FOF #2998 - Dyke It Yourself: Make the Yuletide Gay Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to making the Yultide gay, lesbians with arts and crafts are where it’s at. There’s no better way to celebrate than by grabbing a glue gun, some tinsel and some glitter and decorating your home to look like the church Christmas bazaar had a little too much eggnog.
But if you faint at the thought of pulling out the drill press when need to make a hole in the wall, there’s the delightfully butch lesbian Hillary Klint with her new webseries “Dyke it Yourself” to show you how to do-it-yourself.
Today Maggie Faris, the creator of “Dyke it Yourself” hosted by her alter ego Hilary Klint, joins us to look at the wild and wonderful world of how-to tv shows, from Martha Stewart to Amy Sedaris, from Cooking with Drag Queens to Dyke it Yourself!

Harsh Reality: The Story of Miriam Rivera Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

It was supposed to be a reality show with a twist. In a sun-drenched villa in Ibiza, six hot guys compete for a cash prize and for the love of the beautiful and mysterious Miriam. It’s meant to be her big break: the moment she becomes the superstar she was born to be.
But this is the era of “cruel reality TV” and the show producers have a different goal: they want to surprise the men with the fact that Miriam is trans. A new six-episode investigative series from Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and The Apology Line, and from Novel, HARSH REALITY is the story about love, lies, reality TV and a woman before her time: Miriam Rivera. Written by Agnes Borinsky and hosted by Trace Lysette.

Beans, greens, tomatoes, potatoes, you name it!
