Steamworks Spectacular
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE ON iTUNES
Let's all go to Steamworks! On today's show we pick up our microphones and head on down to the sexiest place on earth- Steamworks gym sauna and baths to put on a show.
Listen to hilarious performances by comedians Keith Ecker, Adam Guerino and Bill Cruz plus musical guests Tracy Tyler and Phil Putnam!
If you've ever wondered what it's like inside of a men's bath house, this is the show for you.
We have fun jokes, raunchy humor and questions from you the audience.
Sad news- Scarlett, a gay bar in Chicago, caught on fire early Friday morning. Many may remember Scarlett as the Gentry, the piano bar fixture on Halsted Street. There is a benefit for the employees of Scarlett at Cocktail tonight so if you are going out, go out for a good cause.
Beyonce announced her single ladies video contest. If you can get the choreography down pat you might win $2,500 and your video will air during her concert.
Rosie O'Donnell confessed on the Tyra Banks show that she gave up the booze after her son Parker told her she drinks too much. We really enjoyed watching Rosie crack open a beer and spill her guts on her video blog and now she's not drinking or video blogging.
British Airline Executive suggests charging for bathrooms on flights, mermaid amputee dreams coming true and sitting on cakes for equality.

Cleve Jones Talks Milk and Oscars
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE ON iTUNES
You saw him at the Oscars, now on today's show we have longtime gay rights activist Cleve Jones talking about what it was like to walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards, dance with Madonna at the after-party and hold Dustin Lance Black's hand during the momentous evening.
The Oscar win for the film Milk certainly gives the national gay rights moment a shot in the arm but can we leverage the movie's success into a comprehensive bill that ensures equality for all Americans?
Here are some memorable quotes from the interview:
On being at the Oscars with Madonna and a room full of celebrities celebrating Milk:
On what an average citizen can do to fight for equality:
Cleve shares with us his thoughts on President Clinton crossing the picket line.
The fishy biological origins of sex.
Here's another reason for pushing marriage equality: the environment. If Australian Senator Steve Fielding is right and divorce is ecologically unsound, then allowing same-sex couples to legally marry just may save the earth.
American Idol Judge Simon Cowell clarifies the rumors of him wanting to be frozen upon death. For now he'll just enjoy being icy in life, not in death, thank you very much.
The world's most unfortunate names.
Check out the world's most windowed office building. Isn't it cute? It looks like some cubist block of swiss cheese. Wouldn't it totally blow if you worked there and didn't have an office with a window?
How ecologists use magnets to confuse crocodiles.
If you got a moment, please vote for Feast of Fools in the Chicago Reader best of Chicago awards. We're hoping to win Chicago's award for the Best Gay News Source.
The podcast enjoyed by most commie, homo-loving sons of guns- Feast of Fools.

Here are some memorable quotes from the interview:
On being at the Oscars with Madonna and a room full of celebrities celebrating Milk:
"It was an odd sensation to be in a room full of people and the only face I did not recognize was my own!"
On what an average citizen can do to fight for equality:
"I always go back to Harvey Milk. The single most important thing that we must all do as individuals is to come out of the closet and reveal ourselves to our families, neighbors and coworkers and let people understand who we are. I think the greatest obstacle that remains that individual queer people have about coming out."
"The second step is to finally demand that straight people really get with the program and show their support. I think Sean Penn's speech was very helpful in that regard. Too long we've accepted compromise and allowed our own leaders to sell us out. This is what President Clinton did... we need to hold all our leadership accountable."
Cleve shares with us his thoughts on President Clinton crossing the picket line.

Oscar Hangover
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE ON iTUNES
After the big ol' lovefest known as the 81st Annual Academy Awards was over, the proverbial shit has hit the fan.
Beyonce's mild wardrobe malfunction passed the network censors but thanks to the magic of High Definition television, was caught by some titaltated fans. Will Beyonce's mosquito bites unleash a dengue fever of puritanical outrage?
People have to got to honestly get over celebrities showing their nips in public. I'm actually kind of pissed we didn't get to see any pec action on Hugh Jackman.
Did you hear about how Sean Penn threw his ex-wife Madonna a little shade at the Oscar's after party? Listen to today's show to find out what he said about her new boy toy.
Relax Sean! Madge doesn't even have a Oscar, and you have two. All she has a Golden Globe.
Curtis Jensen, Steamwork's marketing manager and gingerbread house aficionado talks about his sweet confections and shares his thoughts on the Oscars.
One thing's for sure, everybody is in love with America's hottest gay bachelor, Dustin Lance Black.
How to connect with that handsome stranger you work out at the gym.
And you thought your lover was kinky! Elaine Davidson, the world's most pierced woman adds even more metal to her body. Guess what she does for a living? I wanted to say she was a receptionist at a Real Estate agency, but she's not.
And the drag queen fabulousness known as Ongina, sparks controversy when she reveals to the world she's HIV positive on RuPaul's Drag Race. Is declaring yourself as HIV+ carry the same weight as it did in the 1990s? Whats up with the angry comments chastising Ongina for getting a sexually transmitted disease in this day and age?

Like CNN, but with a fruity twist- Feast of Fools.

Ongina from RuPaul's Drag Race
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE ON iTUNES
In the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, the reality TV show created to produce the next drag superstar, one of the contestants, Ongina, tearfully revealed she was HIV positive.
Today we're talking to Ongina, also known as Ryan Palao, about what it was like to boldly share this intimate detail with millions of viewers and how it's affected his life.
Ongina also clarifies some common misconceptions people have about drag queens, gay men and Filipinos and brings some sass and class into our discussion on how costumes help us be the people we want to be.
Ongina shares with us her behind-the-scenes insight into whether Rebbecca Glasscock was trying to manipulate the outcome of the challenge in her favor by having an emotional breakdown which forced the judges to keep her on the show and get rid of Chicago's gal, Jade.
How could the show kick someone off after they cried about having a friend with AIDS without appearing to be heartless jerks?
One thing's for sure, after winning half of the challenges on the show so far, Ongina is the girl to lick!
I've asked several drag queens why they didn't try to be on the Drag Race, since obviously it would have been great publicity and opened a lot of doors. They said they feared that drag queens would be negatively represented on the show and decided to steer clear of it.
It doesn't make any sense to me. If RuPaul told me to jump on an airplane, fly to Los Angeles and walk the runway in drag, I'd do it in second. And so should you.
What makes these types of TV shows so fascinating to watch is how they illustrate the obstacles we all place in front of ourselves because we fear being rejected. We put those roadblocks in our way because we're afraid to look at where we've failed. We feel that we aren't good enough.
What's probably the most uncomfortable for the contestants is how the program asks them to take the wig and makeup off, and look in a mirror. The show asks us to embrace our strength and our flaws. In that sense, RuPaul's Drag Race and the contestants are all winners.
Listen as we also talk about Ioana Cioanac, the 71 year old Romanian woman who's knitted an entire wardrobe out of her own hair.
Irish police struggle after they confused the Polish words for Drivers License for 50 different driver's names- Pradow Jazdy.
Dustin Lance Black at the Oscars.
Talk about giving mixed signals! The City of New York is now offering classes on how to be a better hooker in order to rehabilitate people who've been arrested for cruising for sex in a dirty book store.
A big thanks to Iris for hooking us up with Ongina.
