  1. Spencer Duncan from Big Queen to Big Muscle

    6D AGO

    Spencer Duncan from Big Queen to Big Muscle

    One of the hardest things about building muscle is being able to consume vast amounts of food. And that’s why we say competitive eating is bodybuilding's distant cousin.  But for a plus sized drag queen, who is already big, it’s a challenge pivoting into bodybuilding and losing fat while building muscle at the same time.  Let’s Grow Big Together! It’s the podcast that reminds you it takes a lot of courage to sashay in heels, and even more to deadlift in them. In this series, we take a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to putting on the gains. Today drag queen and bodybuilder Spencer Duncan joins us to look at going from being Vivica Galactica, a plus sized drag queen on the reality TV series Camp Wannakiki to nabbing the bronze medal at the NPC Midwest Gladiator 2025, Masters 35 and over division. SLAY QUEEN!  Plus:  How imitating others robs us of our own voice.Losing your dad just weeks before stepping on stage. Follow us on Instagram: ★ instagram.com/spencerblooms ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion Help Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease: ★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe

    Dan Cass Stands Up to Abuse

    As Republicans trip over themselves trying to explain why Jeffrey Epstein’s emails are “no big deal,” we’re all being reminded how easily the powerful can redefine sexual violence when it suits their needs. Meanwhile our friend Dan Cass has been living the opposite nightmare. Dan was falsely accused by his ex-girlfriend of sexual assault, and unlike Republicans who can just get Megyn Kelly to shrug it off, Dan lost work, relationships, and nearly his mind trying to clear his name. But here’s the twist: Dan did what almost nobody does, he successfully fought the defamatory allegations with a lawyer and prevailed. What happens when the reality of violence is manipulated by unscrupulous people? Today comedian Dan Cass joins us to talk about what it’s like to survive false accusations in a world where people tend to believe gossip over facts, and how he managed to rebuild his life and career. Also joining us is Dan’s brand-new wife, visual artist and hip-hop dancer Jessica, who married him just three weeks ago. Jessica has been with Dan since the allegations started and has supported through the whole ordeal. Join us for this and all the hot news: • Did Trump Suck Bubba off? Who is Bubba? • Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to film with all the original cast returning except the boyfriend and Anne Hatheway’s original face. • Hitler’s DNA is recovered and examined but no clone yet.

  3. A Trans Perspective on Wicked

    DEC 9

    A Trans Perspective on Wicked

    Transformations are often quite painful. Whether we’re growing emotionally or undergoing a physical metamorphosis, real change usually demands discomfort, and sometimes even danger. In Jon M. Chu’s Wicked films, the characters literally burst through their own limits: they sprout wings, become tin or straw, or learn to fly by defying gravity. Like all the past Wizard of Oz books and films, Wicked is a mirror of its time. Since the Covid pandemic, conservative movements around the globe have seized on a new scapegoat: openly trans and gender-diverse people. Despite being a tiny fraction of the population, trans folks have been painted as a massive cultural threat, a convenient distraction and a powerful tool for those hungry to seize political power. So what can Wicked teach us about facism? What can Elphaba’s journey reveal about the machinery of oppression and about the yellow brick roads queer and trans people are still carving toward liberation? Today we’re joined by trans-tech visionary Violet Kitajewski to explore Wicked as an allegory for LGBTQ resilience, transformation, and resistance. After all, that gravity isn’t going to defy itself. Plus-- Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande announce they are in a “non-demi-curious, semi-binary relationship.” FEATURED MUSIC: Here Comes the Hurricane Legendary Katrina - Kevin JZ Prodigy ★ https://youtu.be/GMKaa_q1eCg?si=d0F5b7bV9eSpG6_m FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: ★ instagram.com/transosaur ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion Help Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease ★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe

    I Almost Went Blind

    Sometimes life forces you to hit the pause button. Not because you wanted to, but because your body says, “sit down honey, we’ve got work to do.” After nearly two decades of podcasting, we thought we’d seen it all, until this summer, when I had emergency eye surgery to save my vision, and Marc had his heart shocked back into rhythm after a scary bout of atrial fibrillation. Between the two of us, we had enough hospital bracelets to start our own line of jewelry.  But through all of it, we learned a few things: about getting older, facing fear, and finding humor when life gets dizzy or blurry. On today’s show, we’re sharing what really happened, what we learned about resilience and love, and how to keep your sense of humor when the road gets bumpy.  It’s our comeback episode: I Almost Went Blind, a story about healing, gratitude, and seeing life in a whole new light. 3 Help Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease: ★ gofundme.com/help-fausto-marc-fight-blindness-and-heart-disease Follow us on Instagram: ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion Plus-- • ICE can’t handle the cold.  • A new Miss Piggy movie written by Broadway drag comedy diva Cole Escola is in the works.  • Yoko Ono‘s art comes to Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art.  • Zohran Mamdani becomes New York City’s most progressive mayor since La Guardia.  • Marriage Equality is safe, for now.

    Topher Payne: The Tree Who Set Healthy Boundaries

    One of the most divisive books in children’s literature is Shel Silverstein’s "The Giving Tree," the story of a dysfunctional relationship between a boy and a sentient apple tree who gives him everything she has, from her apples and leaves to her branches and trunk, until all that's left is a stump. Meant as a parable of unconditional love, writer Topher Payne thought our doomed pair needed a better ending to their sad story. He wrote "The Tree Who Set Healthy Boundaries," where the tree learns to say no and lives a long, happy life because of it. Today, playwright and Hallmark screenwriter Topher Payne joins us to revisit "The Giving Tree" and other classic children's books with questionable moral compasses, and to explore what happens when we give these stories the therapy they clearly need. What's the trouble with "Green Eggs and Ham" and "Where the Wild Things Are?"  READ "Topher Fixed It" ★ https://www.topherpayne.com/fixed-it FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: ★ instagram.com/topherwrites ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion Plus– Topher takes us behind the scenes of his films with the Hallmark Channel, where the snow is always falling, the cookies are always warm, and love is just one conveniently timed misunderstanding away.

    Dan Cass Escapes from Alligator Auschwitz

    After threatening Americans with raising their taxes by 68%, President Trump managed to strong-arm Republicans in Congress into passing his Big Burglary Bill: a sweeping economic and policy package that slashes healthcare funding, shuts down hospitals, inflates ICE’s budget to be larger than the Marines’, opens new concentration camps in Florida, adds $3.4 trillion to the national deficit, and gives billionaires even more tax breaks than ever before. So why didn’t more people try to stop it?  Today, comedian Dan Cass joins us to break down the nightmare that is the Big Burglary Bill, and the swampy new detention centers dubbed “Alligator Auschwitz,” where Trump adviser Lara Loomer openly called for feeding all 65 million Latin Americans living in the US  to alligators in Florida.

    Queeny Bitch and the Windy City Comedy Festival

    When the world is falling apart, sometimes the best thing you can do is make art. Just because Republicans are doing everything they can to crush the joy in people’s hearts, doesn't mean you can’t dumpster dive a feather boa, borrow a pair of heels and put on a show. Remember, that some of the greatest works of art have blossomed in the shadows of fascism.  Today we're talking with comedian and showbiz mogul Queeny Bitch—a comic, provocateur, and now one of the masterminds behind the Windy City Comedy Festival, where hundreds of top-tier degenerates will be taking over the city to show off their funniest, filthiest, and most unhinged acts.  Listen as we dive into the radical act of doing absolutely nothing, why she loudly refuses to move to Los Angeles, her six-year survival story in comedy, and how disillusionment turned out to be her secret weapon.

    From Burlesque to Bikes: Tamale Sepp on Dykes on Bikes, Pride, and Queer Power

    A beloved Pride tradition around the world is the roar of Dykes on Bikes: a fierce motorcade of motorcycle mamas who kick off the parade with a chrome-plated spectacle of queer power, and noise. They first rolled onto the scene at San Francisco Pride in the mid-’70s and quickly became a staple all over the world.  Inspired by those heavy-metal heroines, Chicago’s own Bikes and Mics emerged—a no-rules posse of queer performers, riders, and creatives. This year, the group celebrates their 10th anniversary with a high-octane Mad Max–themed ride, complete with leather, dust, and rumors of a Tina Turner impersonator showing up as Aunty Entity. Today, comedian and motorcycle mama Tamale Sepp joins us to dive into the wild, fabulous history of Bikes and Mics and Dykes on Bikes—two-wheeled revolutions led by fierce queer women who love a little heavy metal rumbling between their thighs.
