One Woman Show
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES
Our drag queen gal pal Victoria Lamarr has been down in the dumps, hiding from the world, sleeping on a friends couch and hoping the blues will pass her by.
Today we're shocking her into the sunshine state by splashing her with the cool fresh water that's the Feast of Fun podcast. Does scream therapy work?
Vicki is putting together songs for her one woman cabaret show, which sounds delicious. Will V-Marr's act be more Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall or Little Edie at the Reno Sweeney Nightclub?
Listen as V-Marr takes questions from you the listeners and reflects on this years Prime-Time Emmy Awards, hosted by the fabulous Neil Patrick Harris. Wasn't he awesome as host of the Emmy's? I think it's the first time an openly gay man's hosted the event, right?
This years ceremonies were marked by an usual tone, as many of the celebrities acknowledged the changing face of media, as more people turn online for their entertainment. Amy Poehler and Julia Loise Dreyfus joked this year will be the last one for network television.
Also, Ryan Seacrest reads an awkward twitter on the red carpet to Rob Lowe's handsome young son.
A Muslim teenage girl in Tulsa, Oaklahoma sues Abercrombie and Fitch retail stores because they wouldn't let her wear Muslim head scarf on the job.
The scary Chinese woman and her full body sun-suit.
Does Facebook ruin friendships?
Dolphins, the horniest mammals in the sea.
And upcoming trips- will we see you there?

The Mind of Madonna
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES
For almost three decades, Madonna has captured the imagination of the public by identifying where we needed to be pushed and ooh ooh, taking us there like a prayer.
Whether you're crazy for her or annoyed by her expressing herself, you can't deny the impact this beautiful stranger has had on all of us.
Today we dedicate the first part of our show to Madonna- the woman, the iconoclast, the musician.
Cabaret singer and Madonna expert Melissa Young joins us before she sets off on her own "Lucky Star" tour- a one woman show dedicated to the life and music of Madonna.
Madonna's new video for her song "Celebration" does it right, featuring her die-hard fans videotaped at her concerts dancing to the beat. But the big highlight is the pop diva's baby girl, Lourdes, all grown up and wearing the wedding dress big momma wore in her 80s video "Like a Virgin."
Plus, Madonna's gay brother Christopher Ciconne insults her latest hairstyle on TV- is he keeping it real or is he just really jealous?
Also in the news-
Terrible Patrick Swayze, Kanye West joke that's involves Michael Jackson that's making the rounds online
The touching and colorful promise to a dead solider.
True Blood Hunk for gay marriage.
Hollywood gay gossip from the 1950s.[via]
Nicole Kidman set to play a transsexual artist.
And we mourn the loss of musician Mary Travers and comedian Henry Gibson.

Sipping the Sweet Tea
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES
The American South, with its complex legacy of slavery, segregation and religious fervor has created a rather unique social structure.
African American gay men have learned to navigate this conservative environment to not only survive but to thrive in the small towns and big cities of the South.
While at a friend's cookout, writer and performer E. Patrick Johnson encountered a group of older gay black Southern gentlemen sitting around telling stories about what it was like to be gay back in the day. Wanting to hear more about their experience, E. Patrick embarked on an adventure, traveling the Southland, interviewing over 70 gay black men of all ages.
Today E. Patrick Johnson joins us to talk about his book "Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South," his collection of the funny, touching and fascinating stories he found.
E. Patrick is now touring the country performing "Pouring Tea" his one man show based on the book.
Listen as we talk about the complex relationship between gay men and their communities including the ties to their churches and their families.
Breaking the myth that it's more difficult to live in the south.
Plus popular culture and the criticism over Tyler Perry's films, sweet tea recipes and of course Kanye West's very public outburst at the Video Music Awards. Is Kanye ready to name it and claim it?
