FOF #2974 - David Wojnarowicz's Art Against AIDS Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

At the height of the AIDS crisis of the late 80s, LGBTQ folks turned to creating art, performance and music to act-up, fight back and fight AIDS.
One of the most powerful voices during the AIDS crisis was David Wojnarowicz, an artist and activist who combined punk music, graffiti, performance, painting and photography into a body of work that celebrated the outsider while speaking out against a hateful government that allowed thousands of Americans to die from AIDS.
Today we’re talking to filmmaker Chris McKim about his new film Wojnarowicz: F**k You F*ggot F**ker. The film takes us on a thrilling journey through the AIDS epidemic as David Wojnarowicz weaponized his work to wage war on the establishment's greed and indifference until his death from AIDS in 1992 at the age of 37.

Listen as we chat with Chris about the making of Wojnarowicz: F**k You F*ggot F**ker and how he helped to create the reality TV juggernaut that made drag a mainstream affair.

FOF #2973 - Queer Nightlife Around the World Jul 18, 2021

Show notes

It’s hard to talk about the lives of LGBTQ+ people without talking about the nightlife scene where so many folks find their home. But for all the attention focused on Stonewall, Fire Island or PTown, most of queer experience, especially for trans and people of color, exists in spaces that most don’t even know about.
In the new book Queer Nightlife, writer Kareem Khubchandani and a collection of academics lift the veil on these special spaces where creativity flourishes as an alternative to the alternative spaces we know and love.
But what's happening to them now that digital media and over policing is changing the nightlife landscape?
Today Kareem Khubchandani, author of Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife joins us to look at queer nightlife and spaces all around the world.

After the “Free Britney Movement” got new life with her heartbreaking plea to a judge about ending the conservatorship placed over her, we’re all left wondering why Britney wasn’t set free immediately? Why did her own lawyer quit? What’s next for Britney?
Believe it or not, this legal case may impact all of us.

FOF #2971 - A Covid Nurse’s Tale of the Pandemic Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

As the fog of the Covid Pandemic starts to clear, we’re left with even more questions about what happened.
For example, why are folks still not wanting to get a covid vaccine? Some of these people who won't get vaccinated because they say “you just don't know what’s in it” are also the folks who will happily swallow a fistful of Oxycodone or take some Ecstasy they found on the floor of a nightclub.
Now if a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, maybe we can reach the holdouts by offering free drugs with every vaccination?
Today comedian Carma Nibarger joins us to talk about her experience working as a nurse during the Covid Pandemic at a Chicago hospital where almost 100% of all patients were being treated for Covid infections.
Listen to Tales of survivors guilt, designer covid, the horrors of seeing people die and relationships that ended as a result of this horrible pandemic.

FOF #2970 - America’s Got Talent’s Danger Duo Momma Gigi Deluxe Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

The headline read: “Simon Cowell Fears The Worst If This Mother/Daughter Danger Act Goes Wrong.” Now we knew they wouldn’t show on America’s Got Talent our friend Gigi Deluxe shooting an arrow straight through her daughter’s head, but Gigi’s friends still held their breath as she shot arrows through balloons, inches away from her daughter's face.
Way back in 2005, the gorgeous Gigi Deluxe was one of the first guests on Feast of Fun, and at that time Gigi was one of Chicago’s most celebrated nightlife personalities. Since then, Gigi Deluxe has moved to New Orleans where she’s cultivated her circus act in archery, impalement and sword swallowing.
Today Gigi Deluxe, the Danger Duo momma from America’s Got Talent joins us to look at shooting arrows at her daughter on national TV, how she knows her aim is straight and what she thought of Howie Mandel who didn’t like her act.

Comedian Julia Scotti is Funny That Way Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

Comedian Julia Scotti has been doing stand up all her life.
In the 80s, Julia was a regular alongside other comedy legends like Ellen DeGeneres and Jerry Seinfeld who were just getting their start in the business. Julia’s raunchy humor was a hit on cable TV and she regularly opened for the day’s top musical acts.
At the time, Julia identified as male but in 2000, she left comedy to begin her transition and to find a more stable career. Now at the age of 63, Julia’s going back to her lifelong passion- stand-up comedy.
The new documentary “She’s Funny That Way” takes us on Julia’s journey back into the comedy spotlight as a sensation on America’s Got Talent. In the film we get to see Julia’s reconciliation with her family and we get to see her confront her own transphobic jokes she made on television before she transitioned.
Today the hilarious comedian Julia Scotti joins us to take a look at her amazing comedy career and life as a trans mom in the new documentary “She’s Funny That Way” directed by first time documentary filmmaker Susan Sandler, writer of the Golden Globe nominated film Crossing Delancey.

The Secret Gay Lives of the U.S. Presidents Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

From Washington to Obama, there’s always been some speculation about the love lives our nation’s leaders but what about affairs of the same sex kind?
We're not sure if this same-sex kiss between Dubya and the Saudi Prince is legal under sharia law.
Let’s face it, most ambitious men love attention, and that means having it come from just about anyone. And until the turn of the century, same-gender sexual experiences weren’t uncommon in the lives of men.
So how would you know if the love that dare not speak its name was taking place in the Oval Office?
Join us today as we try to uncover the facts and myths on the secret gay lives of our nation’s leaders.
Who was the gayest founding father and the most swinging guy on our nation’s currency?
Who was the first gay republican?
Why was the Revolutionary Army Called an Army of lovers?
Special Thanks to my gal pal Karen Lewis for letting us use her two song parodies of Yankee Doodle Boy and Grand Ol Flag. Buy something nice on her site.
