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 #2900 - Jake Noll Chases Their Dreams During Quarantine Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

If there’s anything we’ve learned from the COVID pandemic, besides never trusting a Republican ever again, is that the future is always uncertain, so fearlessly pursue your dreams.
The last guest we had in person, in the home studio, before the big shutdown, was the delightful comedian Jake Noll who came on to talk about the big changes going on in their life.
With uncertain doom looming around the corner, we wondered which post-apocalypic character from Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome would we wind up being: Tina Turner or Mel Gibson?
Today comedian Jake Noll joins us to talk about their adventures in transitioning during quarantine, how they almost got roped into a cult in their early days of comedy and finding their way out of a Kobe Bryant shaped corn maze.

Kate Bornstein: A Trans Woman In the Heart of Scientology Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

It's almost serendipity that Scientology is all over the news with the very public divorce of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Many speculate that Holmes left Cruise to escape the oppressive, bizarre religion that she’s afraid would hurt her child.
In recent years, many high ranking church officials have left Scientology due to their the homophobia, transphobia and all around general abuse.
Now, writer and performance artist Kate Bornstein, well known for her work as an advocate for trans folks, queer youth and all misfits is coming forward with her amazing story of being the right hand man of founder L. Ron Hubbard in her new book "A Queer and Pleasant Danger: A Memoir."
Kate served in the upper echelon of the church aboard L. Ron Hubbard’s gigantic yacht before being forced out, leaving behind her daughter who she hasn’t been able to see in 30 years.
Listen as we talk about the Church of Scientology’s genderless theology, how high ranking members believe they have the power of telekinesis, and why they are losing their grip on Hollywood.

FOF #2899 - 10 Years of Wild, Unadulterated Fun Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Break out the party hats and put on your mask for masks- this November marks the 10 year anniversary of PrEP, the revolutionary HIV prevention method that reduces the risk of contracting HIV even if you’re exposed to the virus.
Just like birth control, the daily pill that effectively stops all new HIV transmissions has been met by the public with a lot of controversy.
But the big question is “how do we get more people on PrEP?”
Today therapist and relationship expert Damon L Jacobs joins us to take a look at a decade of PrEP and how the sexual liberation that came from it is now impacted by the COVID pandemic. And why is Damon giving up leadership of one of the top forums for gay men’s health at the height of this pandemic?

How do You Pronounce Latinx? Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

How we think about gender identity and sexuality is evolving and some people are having a hard time keeping up with all the new language surrounding these new concepts.
Our friend, Professor Larry La Fountain travels all over the world talking about LGBT people and Latin American culture and one of the most common questions he gets asked is: what is Latinx and how do you translate the word “queer” into Spanish?
Today, we take an amazing rainbow filled journey to the cutting edge of gender and sexuality to understand how what may logically work in one language may not translate into another.

FOF #2897 - Matt Brown's Karmic Justice Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

Folks are having a hearty laugh over President Trump getting hospitalized for testing positive for COVID-19, the deadly disease he said would go away like magic.
Now Republicans are asking for compassion for the President, so at least we can all be on the same page as to how terrible this virus can be.
Today comedian Matt Brown joins us to take a look at the complicated reactions people have to the shocking news that the President, First Lady and many top Republicans including the Supreme Court pick Amy Barrett all came down with COVID-19.
But after almost 4 years of daily lies, could Trump be crying wolf or is this the truth of which he was so afraid, he downplayed it to the American public and the world?

The Man Behind Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

One of the the most talked about and parodied costumes any pop star has ever sported is the meat dress worn by Lady Gaga at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Mother Monster wore it to draw attention to the U.S. military ban on lesbian and gay service members. Time Magazine named it the top fashion statement of the year.
Today we’re serving up butcher shop realness, talking to Franc Fernandez, the remarkable man behind the amazing and delicious meat dress.
Listen as we talk about how they made the meat dress, how the dress influenced the government’s lifting of the the anti-gay military ban, and discover where that mouth watering gown eventually wound up.
