FOF #957 – Rock the Runway Ronnie
Standard Podcast [57:54m]:
Chicago born model Ronnie Kroell made it to the top two in the first season of Bravo’s hit reality tv show “Make Me a Supermodel.” His midwestern good looks, sparkling smile and unabashed honestly about his sexuality made him a viewer favorite.
His intense friendship with fellow contestant, the straight prison guard Ben DiChiara, became a focal point of the show and often out-shined the public interest in the competition itself.
Ronnie joins us here to today to talk about how reality TV made him a better person, being betrayed by his porn star escort boyfriend and why embracing your imperfections makes you beautiful. (more…)

There was so much fierce talent on that show and we were delighted to talk to RuPaul, Ongina, Bebe and Chicago’s very own Jade. Jade kicked some serious booty on the show, so you can imagine our disappointment when she was eliminated in a round with the bitchy Rebecca Glasscock. You were robbed! (more…)

FOF #934 – Under the Hood with Jade
Standard Podcast [1:01:11m]:
The new reality tv show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” may be a hit, but “where’s the drama mama?” It’s not like drag queens don’t know how to throw a little shade.
On today’s show we have Jade, a rising star in Chicago’s nightlife, here to take us under the hood of the hit TV show. Jade was the only drag queen from Chicago that made it on the series.
Jade’s also a woman of many talents. When she’s done with her act, she cleans up and returns to the stage as a hot male dancer.
She can even do the splits! If you like Jade’s style, check her out as the show director for Wild Thursdays at Sangria, an 18 and over club.
She’s also appearing March 4, 2009 at Hydrate.
Listen as Jade fesses up to her part in the disappearance of a local drag diva’s dress. Did she take it or did someone else? Also, Akashia may have been the bad guy on the show so far but who is it really that Jade and many of the others can’t stand. Find out on today’s show.

FOF #930 – Mexican Golden Girls
Standard Podcast [1:25:32m]:
Las Mujeres Doradas means The Golden Girls in Spanish and we feel a little bit like a Mexican version of the campy 80s sitcom when hanging out with our good friend comedian Bill Cruz.
On today’s show the very likable, big gay Mexican Bill Cruz joins us to talk about what it’s like to be a pioneer in the comedy scene here in Chicago.
Everyone loves his work, but in his early days he struggled to entertain audiences and even connect with his own. Once while performing in front of a Latino college fraternity, he was booed when he came out as a gay man.
One crowd that’s always loved him is the fans of the Feast of Fools. Yes, Bill shared a stage with us on one of our live shows six years ago! So where’s he been all this time?
Bill has been performing as a professional comic across the country and he’s recently been featured in Mike Player’s book Out on the Edge: America’s Rebel Comics a book that details the true lives stories of gay comedians.
Is it the downturn in the economy or the warmer weather that heating things up in Chicago? Several of our friends have been mugged lately, including me two days ago in front of the ghetto Jewel grocery store in Andersonville. Listen to today’s show for the scary details.
An Elementary school in Massachusetts sent a note home to parents explaining why the male janitor is now a lady.
A new painting titled “The Funeral of Mona Lisa” being showed at the Loov, the same museum where the original Mona Lisa is held is causing quite a commotion. Could the exhibition be an attempt by the museum to tone down the celebrity of the great masterpiece?
An article on the science of orgasms is disappointing to men because all it talks about is why woman have a hard time getting off. Why can’t the women get off as easily as men do?
And did Donny Osmond stick his foot in his mouth when talking about the possibility of going on the TV show Dancing with the Stars?

FOF #914 – Inaugural Balls
Standard Podcast [1:02:59m]:
History was made as Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States, sworn to defend the U.S. Constitution which, at one time, defined blacks as three-fifths of a person.
As our country’s 44th president, does Obama have the Formula 44 to relieve the symptoms that plague this nation?
The very funny Cameron Espositio joins us to reflect on this joyful, momentous occasion as we compare Evangelist Rick Warren’s predictable prayer with Gay Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson’s inclusive invocation.
Celebrities from Bono to Oprah showed up in full force, and divas like Beyonce and Aretha delivered the goods.
Oh that hat! Aretha Franklin, sporting a gray hat with an over the top bedazzled bow sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.”
Besides her striking fashion, what everyone’s chatting about on the internet is how Aretha let out a quick “shut up” in the middle of her song, possibly at somebody in the crowd who wouldn’t presumably stop talking. If you listen to this several times, you could swear she’s getting possessed by Dick Cheney. Fight the evil Aretha!
Plus Jim Bennet joins us on the phone from Washington D.C. to share with us what it was like to be there for this moment in history.
We received our Best GLBT podcast award in the mail today. So all the awards from 2006, 2007 and yes 2008 make a happy little family and they look so good together.

FOF #907 – What’s Hot When It’s Cold
Standard Podcast [1:01:30m]:
Just because it’s snowing outside doesn’t mean you should be staying in!
On today’s show we’ve got Kevin Thomas, your gay concierge and friend to all bears (and their admirers) to talk about what’s hot on Broadway and in Chicago theater.
A sizzling production of Miss Saigon is now playing at the Drury Lane Theater in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook until March 8th. Check out Kevin’s blog entry for a full account of the fabulous show and more Broadway business.
Listen as we talk about Miss Saigon and how you can become a understudy for the coveted role of the Vietnamese bar girl with the heart of gold. If you’ve ever seen Showgirls, you know what we are talking about.
Also, check out Saturday Night Live as show characters try to save Broadway. Can you believe Neil Patrick Harris’ impersonation of actor Anthony Rapp who originated the role of Mark in Rent that Harris later took over?
An awkward news story being pushed around about Kyle Mingoue’s hot boyfriend posing nude reveals anxieties about the future of gay print media. Odd phrases such as “world’s most renowned” or “leading gay mag” in the article almost equally touts the the wonder of OUT magazine as much as the nudie pics of Minogoue’s boyfriend.
We wonder what the future of large-scale queer media will be as more and more of the public moves online. Is the recent merger of Regent Media with PlanetOut and Gay.com is good for gay people? Or will it reduce a diversity of viewpoints?
A hot new trend- cute things falling asleep is a website depicting cute animals and babies trying to sleep is intriguing millions. Will our video of Kevin Thomas sleeping be a hit?
American Idol Returns for another exciting seasons of freaks, geeks and shrieks. We can’t wait. We’re interested in to see how the new judge will n=mix with the other judges and contestants.
And a happy ending for a 140 year old lobster who is set free from a New York City restaurant. Did he become shark food or will he live a long happy life?

As the economy continues to worsen, it’s up to all of us to support our favorite businesses! I, for one, have invested my extra monies in attending the theater. Whether it be a Broadway show, regional theater or a small community production, the theater needs our help.
Last week over 13 shows on the Great White Way closed, several you thought would be there for a long time – “Hairspray” and “Young Frankenstein.”
Broadway had a nice holiday season with shoppers needing a warm refuge from the snow or people enjoying their Christmas present show tickets. But until there’s the spring thaw, things look awfully icy for Broadway. So I’m going this coming week to check out what might be hot to take us through the winter. (more…)
