Get wild and free as we explore what it means to be be one with the Faeries.

Radical Faery Eureka joins us to share his experience joining the fat lifestyle, and how he incorporates his art and spirituality into the counter-cultural phenomenon born out of the gay rights movement in the late 1970’s.

Ya bunch of faeries!

It’s 40 years in August since the Spiritual Conference for Radical Fairies was held in the USA. The Australian context is slightly different, and Eureka shares how identifies with the concept of breaking down hyper masculinity, and how fae queer spirituality aligns with his faith history of Christianity and Catholicism.

Later in the episode, Melbourne Rubber Man 2016 Liam joins us to tell us about his queer Eurovision fundraiser. We discuss who he’s rooting for (and who he’d root) in Eurovision. Liam will be back in a few weeks to talk about the Melbourne Rubber Man fundraiser happening at the Laird on May 11. Tune in for our rubber special in a few weeks!

Get wild!

Polari, the secret language of gay men was an essential part of life because of the impact the era of criminalised homosexuality had on us, especially in the UK. 

The Queen’s English

To begin with, British chap Peter came into the studio to bring his insights into using the ‘other’ Queen’s English as a form of secret communication.

Speaking in Tongues

Also, we get stuck into some queer vernacular with the most mainstream examples of Polari with Round The Horne guests Julian and Sandy who used the language and therefore regularly subverted UK radiowaves with Polari. 

Dishy and Fishy

Interestingly, our subject this week was featured in the short film Putting On The Dish, therefore it would be remiss if us to skip over this cultural gem! We talk generally about the gay language, and in particular how queer people of colour influence drag language, that the general LGBTI community co-opts , as it makes it’s way into the wider vernacular. 

Get Appy

Before we sign off we get stuck into the Polari app and share some fun queer phrases.

The ChemSex Monologues is a play that has taken the UK by storm.  We catch up with the Australian producer who is currently touring Adelaide and Sydney.  Sadly Melbourne misses out this time around but maybe Midsumma 2018 would be the perfect time? Lets hope so.

Then Dean and Tim are joined by 22 year old Camden Tilly and 24 year old Brandon Cook.  Both have turned to crowdfunding their projects.  For Camden it’s to deliver an artistic endeavor and for Brandon it was to fund his stay in rehab to manage his meth addiction.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” – George Orwell

Tim Little chats to Mikey about his unique fusion of theatre, music, burlesque, multimedia and spoken word. Mikey looks to the animal kingdom to question society, sexuality, relationships, politics and culture and find out what it means to be ‘human’…

Known as the invisible sexuality, asexuality is the stuff of myths and legends.  ACE (shorthand for asexual) people just don’t get the sexual urges that the rest of us do.  In this episode Dean, Tim and Matt are joined by comedian Nic Spunde ahead of their first solo show.  Nic uses personal stories from their own life to offer a humorous view of a rarely examined aspect of human sexuality.

Although the theatre and musical comedy scenes have many out and proud performers, there are not many roles available where they can be themselves. This contributed to Jamie Burgess’ decision to write a ‘big gay musical’ where openly gay performers would not have to worry about keeping a ‘straight face’.

This week, Andrew and Tim are joined by some of the team from Butch Masters: Man of Destiny, a musical ‘cumedy’ about a young heterosexual man born into a gay world,  premiering at the 2016 Midsumma Festival.
