Why do we need to a show on a Gay Guide to Chicago?

We often get the question from our listeners who plan to come to the Windy City for some good gay fun; “Dear Fausto and Marc-I’m coming to Chicago and I want to know what to do and where to go.”

It’s a difficult question to answer because Chicago has so much to offer to so many different types of people. We usually ask people what they are into and proceed form there. We’d hate to to tell someone to go ice skating at Millennium Park and later find out they suffer from pagophobia, which is the fear of ice. Now who would be afraid of ice? What do they do at cocktail bars? But that’s the great thing about phobias- they are totally irrational.

What is not is irrational is the desire to come to Chicago, “Chitown,” “The City of Broad Shoulders”, “Hog Butcher to The World,” “The City That Works” or as Studs Terkel calls it “Home of the Gayest Podcast in The World” (just kidding about the Studs part. Not sure which stud said that.)

Gay and straight Chicago has a lot to offer to the GLBT traveller. So much in fact that we are bringing in the big guns- Kathie Bergquist and Robert McDonald, authors of A Field Guide to Gay and Lesbian Chicago.

This book is a must read for anybody contemplating visiting Chicago. Not only is it a great general guide that will appease your straight friends and give them all the info they would need for a totally hetero travel experience, but it gives the low-down on all that is on the down-low.

Join us as we talk about our favorite gay bars and restaurants and spots to visit in this fabulous town. What makes a shoe store gay? What makes a gay-borhood gay? What makes anything gay for that matter?

It’s never too late for a local bar, hotel or other destination point to sponsor this podcast to attract people to their venue from all over the world. It will be downloaded for a very long time.

The podcast that is the blinking disco light at the end of a dark tunnel- Feast of Fools.
