I love my divas, but I don’t have any friends. If you find yourself asking this question, have we got a show for you!
Joining us on today’s podcast is Jason McVicker, Director of Mental Health Services for the Center on Halsted -the Midwest’s largest GLBT community center. Besides providing daily help to many gays in need, Jason lectures on Opera. Jason is a man who loves his divas.
But for some gay men who suffer Diva Dissociative Trauma or DDT life isn’t always a beautiful aria. They avoid healthy relationships with their own peers and instead lose themselves in the works of powerful female celebrities.
When does our love for our divas interfere with our daily living? What are the warning signs that diva worship has gone too far?
Jason brings some insights into many of the mental health issues gay men face and some simple steps you can take to find help.
We also talk about a broad range of mental health issues and the brutal killing of 14 year old high school student Lawrence King. We discuss how to talk to young people about the brutal murder?
More on why you should vote for Barak Obama or is that Hillary Clinton?
Speaking of divas, stick around to the end of the show where we share with you some up to the minute Cher plastic surgery gossip.
We love our divas but more importantly, we love you! The podcast that brings out the sassy diva in you- Feast of Fools.

I have Oscar Fever! Literally, because I drank too much cheap champagne last night. Owww.
Despite torrential downpours, the writers strike and the threat of the Westboro Baptist Church picketing, the “Superbowl for Gays,” the 80th Annual Academy Awards Ceremonies, also known as the Oscars managed to put on a relatively tight but lackluster show.
Many Oscar […]
Stunning! Stunning! We’re all stunned by Robbie D’s remix of Calpernia Addams new song “Stunning.” It is a super pop trash hit that is sure to rise to the top of the club charts. We love the song because of the threatening double meaning of the word “stunning” or “stunned.” The listener doesn’t quite know […]

In many cultures the aging process is embraced and revered because as we grow older we gain wisdom, stability and respect.
But for many people, especially gay men, the aging process is a deep source of anxiety and isolation as they come to terms with unfulfilled life expectations.
Some of us came out of the closet late […]
It’s amazing what our lovely tranny friend Tracy can do with her voice! On today’s show Tracy Tyler surprises us all by demonstrating how she can go effortlessly from femme to butch. Listen in as Tracy shares her tips and tricks on how to “force-masculinize” your voice, or let it go femme and fancy free.

Tracy is a popular gal with all the trannie chasing, straight identified men. Who can blame them? Tracy has it all, a lovely outgoing personality, a head on her shoulders and a voluptuous body that fulfills every man’s best expectations.
Still, when I’m hanging out with Tracy and her straight-identified trannie-loving male friends, I feel like […]
Valentine’s Day has come and gone. For some it’s a great time to celebrate passion and romance, but for many it’s a time to feel lonely and isolated from the world around them.
