    Return to Little House on the Prairie - Lee Ingalls

    When Bonanza ended after 14 seasons, NBC television turned to its biggest star, Michael Landon, to create a new series. Landon adapted Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved “Little House” books into “Little House on the Prairie,” a family drama about perseverance, faith, and community on the American frontier. Premiering in the aftermath of Watergate, the series became a cultural phenomenon, offering an optimistic vision of neighbors coming together to overcome hardship. More than 50 years later, Little House remains one of television's most beloved franchises. Netflix is now rebooting the series with promises of a more historically accurate adaptation. The project has already sparked heated debate, with some conservatives dismissing it as "woke." Today we're joined by writer Lee Ingalls, a cousin of Laura Ingalls Wilder and a leading voice in preserving the Ingalls family legacy. Along with his husband Brett Cullum, he helps organize the Society for the Ingalls Family, a fan group for Little House events and fan gatherings. Lee has written a deeply personal memoir, The Prairie Has a Rainbow, about growing up as a gay boy in the rural Midwest during the 1950s and 60s. Plus-- • Did Heated Rivalry inspire the Netflix producers to create a bromance between Pa Ingalls and Mr Edwards?  Link: ★ Society for the Ingalls Family Follow Us on Instagram:  ★ instagram.com/theprairiehasarainbow ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion

    The Nanaz: Punk Rock Grandmas

    As fascism and other systems of oppression slither their way into the mainstream, resistance doesn't always come from politicians, it’s coming from people with guitars, amps, and fierce music. From P***y Riot crashing churches in Russia to Welsh grannies cranking up distortion in Brooklyn, punk is still one of the loudest ways to say, “Hell to the no!” Today Marc Felion is on special assignment in Brooklyn, New York talking to The Nanaz, a punk rock group from South Wales made up of women in their 50s and beyond. The group started as total strangers in a community sponsored music workshop, and now they’re tearing up festival stages, and bringing their beautiful chaos to New York City for the Loud Women Music festival. Listen as we chat about how punk is giving them a second adolescence, their anthems like “Everyone’s an Idiot” and “Care Home Robbery” call out ageism, the nightmare of elder care, recycling, and why older women with guitars might be some of the most dangerous people in the room.

    Where's the Beef? - with Dan Cass

    By now you’ve probably sick of hearing about the weird video made by McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempciznski, where he nervously takes a tiny bite of their new burger, referring to it as a “product.”  Since then, a myriad of executives have tried to one-up each other with their own burger “eating” videos, creating a full-fledged social media spectacle with the hopes of raising sales and building brand loyalty. But one question still stands: why won't these burger CEOs show themselves swallowing their own “meat?” Today Chicago comedian and burger aficionado Dan Cass joins us to look at the incredibly weird new burger wars, which instead of making people want to buy one, is making everyone question their life choices.  Plus-- • Did Timothée Chalamet’s off putting comments on opera and ballet cost him the Oscar? • BuzzFeed reports they may be going out of business. Here’s 10 reasons and why #4 will shock you.  Follow us on Instagram: ★ instagram.com/dankass ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion

    Matthew Davies - Designing for Star Trek & Bodybuilding in the Future

    People love sports for the thrill of the challenge, to push their bodies to boldly go where they’ve never gone before. But in Star Trek, how would people compete in a universe where physical augmentation makes almost anything possible?  What happens to bodybuilding a thousand years from now? Today’s episode is a dual drop from Feast of Fun and Let’s Grow Big Together, think of it as a transporter mishap where two podcasts are fused as one, but not as awkward as Tuvix. In this series, we take a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to put on the gains. The new series Starfleet Academy centers the Star Trek universe around the school for new recruits with a fresh focus on youth culture and hot bodies. Today Starfleet Academy’s production designer Matthew Davies joins us to look at his work imagining schools, starships, gyms and nightclubs of the future. Davies is also an accomplished bodybuilder, so we’re having a little fun imagining what bodybuilding might look like in that world. How will technology shape bodybuilding? What will giant, glorious bodies mean centuries from now?  Plus-- • Lesbians in Space! Creating same sex, interspecies relationships. • Why Matthew has no regrets turning down Heated Rivalry.

    Damon L. Jacobs Chooses Queer Joy

    The sexual revolution didn’t happen all at once, it came in throbbing waves: the Pill. Stonewall. The AIDS crisis. The Internet. Grindr. PrEP. Doxy PEP. Sniffies!  We have more options than ever before and yet some still feel lonely. Swipe culture gives us abundance, but it also trains us to treat each other like custom coffee drinks.  How do we build intimacy without running a background check on somebody? And why does jealousy still show up like it is paying the rent? Today, queer activist and marriage and family therapist Damon L. Jacobs joins us to unpack the great queer divide: monogamy vs. open relationships. His web series Choosing Queer Joy argues that joy isn’t frivolous, it’s revolutionary. But when we start talking about sex, love, and commitment the revolution can get real messy, real fast.

    Bad Bunny's Boricua Halftime Show Wins Big

    Considering the rebellious spirit of reggaeton music, folks were all up in a knot as Bad Bunny took to the Super Bowl stage, expecting a vulgar, over-the-top spectacle. Instead, we got a triumphant celebration of Puerto Rican culture, and at the end, a giant billboard reminding us: “The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate Is Love.”  Not just a jolgorio for Puerto Rico, but a nod to queer icons like Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny’s record-breaking show drew 10 million more viewers than the game itself, making it officially the most-watched halftime show in history, causing some to declare the Republican culture wars over.  Today, Chicago comedy icon Dan Cass joins us to unpack the cultural legacy of Bad Bunny’s Halftime show, why he pronounces words a little differently in Spanish, and the LGBTQ+ Puerto Rican excellence that shined throughout the show.  Plus--  • Now that Lady Gaga is officially Puerto Rican, will she team up with Bad Bunny for a salsa album? • More horrifying revelations from the Epstein/Trump files.  • The Olympic Penisgate! Ski-jumping athletes allegedly inject hyaluronic acid in their dongs to fly higher. • Peaches Christ and Sir Ian McKellen bring their shows to Chicago.
