    Memorial Day at Fire Island’s Ice Palace with Dina Martina

    Memorial Day weekend on Fire Island is officially the start of summer — and this week on Trigger Warning, Adam and I are recording live from the legendary Ice Palace in Cherry Grove. We kick things off with some classic Fire Island banter: wigs, chaotic past parties, rainy holiday vibes, and yes — thoughts on the Kylie Minogue Netflix documentary.  But there real meat and potatoes, folks is our extra special guest. This week we welcome one of my all-time favorites to the show: the incomparable Dina Martina. Dina and I talk about her recent run at Café Carlyle in New York, her long-standing Memorial Day tradition of performing at the Ice Palace, and why Fire Island audiences hit differently than Provincetown crowds. She shares an unforgettable story about the late Chita Rivera praising her work — a full-circle moment that says everything about Dina’s singular brilliance. And yes, Dina shares what triggers her too!!! It’s camp, it’s chaos, it’s Fire Island — and it’s the unofficial kickoff to Summer season 2026. If you love LGBTQ comedy, queer nightlife, Cherry Grove history, and behind-the-scenes stories from iconic performers, this episode is for you. @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION: @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

    How Queer Nightlife Survived and Evolved | Ana Matronic | Pt. 02

    Part two — and we’re going even deeper. In this episode of Trigger Warning, Adam and I bring back Animatronic to dive into the real history of queer nightlife — from the global legend Bricktop to stewarding Fire Island’s iconic Ice Palace. If you don’t know Bricktop, buckle up. She was a Black saloon singer and hostess from West Virginia who became one of the most powerful nightlife figures in Paris, Mexico City, and Rome. She introduced the Charleston to Paris. She hosted royalty, writers, jazz icons. Her life feels like it should be an HBO anthology series — and yes, we pitch that too. Then we shift to home. We talk about the Ice Palace — open continuously since 1970 — one of the most important queer disco venues in history. Before it was the Ice Palace, it was the Boom Boom Room, the Bat Cave, Tiffany Au Go Go. There were fires. There were rebuilds. There were actual laws preventing same‑gender dancing — which led to counting men and women separately on the ramp. That history matters. Today, we see ourselves not as owners — but as stewards. Restoring it. Protecting it. Evolving it. Keeping it alive for the next generation. This episode is about honoring the past while building the future of queer nightlife. Because clubs aren’t just parties. They’re archives. They’re sanctuaries. They’re survival. 🎧 Listen or watch wherever you get your favorite podcasts  🔥 Part 1 is also live — so maybe start there- or don’t. @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

    Ana Matronic on Scissor Sisters, Fame & NYC Nightlife

    Welcome to Trigger Warning — my intentionally chaotic NYC nightlife podcast. Adam and I kick things off in our new Summer “studio” at the Ice Palace where we sit down with the iconic Ana Matronic — DJ, Scissor Sisters legend, and self-proclaimed “pop star with the soul of a librarian.” And yes… we go there. What We Get Into: ✨ Broadway diva lore (Patti, Liza, Carol — obviously)  ✨ Scissor Sisters blowing up in the UK before the U.S. caught on  ✨ Fame and “upward dehumanization”  ✨ “Let’s Have a Kiki” and dance-floor history  ✨ Motown mixtapes & Ana’s DJ origin story  ✨ Queer roots and nightlife legacy  ✨ Regine and the invention of the modern discotheque We also talk about Ana’s podcast Part-Time Sallies, where she dives into nightlife history and icons like Regine and Brick Top. BUT- this was such an iconic conversation we decided we HAD to do it on two parts. So if you love: NYC nightlife, queer culture, DJ history, Fire Island, Scissor Sisters, or Broadway legends — this one’s for you. @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

    Madonna, The Oldest Living Vegas Showgirl & NYC Nightlife Chaos

    Adam and I are back to make your day (or possibly ruin it, who knows).  In any case elcome to another episode of Trigger Warning— now in living color. On today's show, Adam and I take a trip down memory lane to our chaotic East Village Radio days. Remember when we literally recorded a live episode on the D train? Yeah, we’re still recovering from that.  But the real star of this episode is our longtime caller and absolute legend, Carlotta Wellington. Carlotta is a retired Las Vegas showgirl currently living it up in a showgirls’ retirement community, and she holds absolutely nothing back. We get into the nitty-gritty of how insanely expensive Vegas has gotten, her degenerate gambling habits, and that time she was supposedly Lindsey Graham’s date to the Correspondents' Dinner. We also swap stories about getting messy at the Double Down Saloon, and the harsh realities of aging in the entertainment industry. It’s fun. It’s our requisite chaos, but NOW you can see what we look like. Hit play, get offended, and don't forget to subscribe! @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

    How Celebrity Gossip Really Works | Rob Shuter

    This week on Trigger Warning, I’m serving nightlife, nuance, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting. Daniel and I kick things off with peak NYC nightlife energy — theater talk, Berlin adventures, Fire Island plans, and a proper celebration of John Waters turning 80 (a cultural icon, a genius, a reason half of us moved to New York). Then we welcome Rob Shuter — celebrity gossip columnist, entertainment insider, and author of It Started with a Whisper. And yes, we get into the real stuff. Rob breaks down his new roman à clef about the entertainment industry, centered on four media insiders who launch a morning gossip show… only to have their own secrets explode on-air. We talk about: How It Started with a Whisper began as a scripted TV series before becoming a novelThe presales that landed him a three-book dealHis upcoming novel set in the future of the British royal line of successionHow celebrity gossip actually works behind the scenesThe mechanics of red carpets and award show dramaWorking with major stars like Jennifer Lopez (J.Lo) and Sean “Diddy” CombsIf you’ve ever wondered how entertainment PR, media narratives, and celebrity scandals really operate — this is your masterclass. But this is Trigger Warning, so we don’t stop at gossip. This episode blends: ✔️ Celebrity gossip and entertainment industry secrets  ✔️ NYC nightlife culture  ✔️ LGBTQ+ perspectives  ✔️ Media politics and public accountability  ✔️ Sex work stigma and cultural hypocrisy It’s messy. It’s thoughtful. It’s very New York. And it’s very us.

    The Boys Are Back in Town: Lap Dances, Broadway Divas & NYC Chaos

    WE ARE BACK! And by we I mean me and Adam, fully unhinged and recording Trigger Warning straight from The Cockpit at Red Eye.  After a seemingly endless stint living in Zihuatanejo (no I really do love it), I’m back in New York where I belong: overstimulated, over‑moisturized, and aggressively look‑maxxing. Even Adam commented on my upbeat mood! This week we kick things off catching up on NYC nightlife, skincare delusion, and what happens when you attend Buff Daddies at the Cockpit and suddenly become community property. Yes, I was swarmed. Yes, I finally experienced the lap dance cubbies. No, I will not be elaborating further (I absolutely elaborate further). We also take a sentimental (and slightly chaotic) walk down memory lane about the venue’s former lives — Red Eye, Tobacco Road, and the upstairs “tranny hooker bar” — including a story about me and the LEGEND Sweetie, that needed to be told.. It’s nightlife chaos. It’s Broadway opinions. It’s gay cultural commentary.  It’s us back in New York — overstimulated, over-opinionated, and fully in our element. Strap in. @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

    Spring Break Chaos & Internet Meltdowns

    Welcome to Trigger Warning — the boozy, blunt podcast that is absolutely not a safe space. In this spring fever episode, I’m back with Daniel and we cover everything from St. Patrick’s Day nostalgia to Easter atheism, Irish-American identity spirals, online trolls, fake reviews, Fire Island bunny antics, and why I might be done with internet comment sections forever. Because apparently, having opinions on the internet now makes you a political extremist. Who knew? Spring is here. The comments are unhinged. And I’m reconsidering my relationship with the algorithm. If you’re here for sharp takes, travel rants, cultural commentary, LGBTQ life between Mexico and Fire Island, and the occasional existential spiral — welcome home. Subscribe. Or don’t. But if you leave a fake review, at least spell my name right. @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com 1
