Fish tits, the memorable NYC drag queen Aquadesia, also known as best-selling author Josh Killmer-Purcell joins us in the house today for an irreverent debate with PETA activist Mike Brazell about vegetarianism, using animals in entertainment, pro-life and animal-rights. Josh’s controversial costume has recently come into a lot of controversy because it incorporated two clear water-filled acrylic spheres holding a goldfish in each as part of his costume and as the cover of his new book “I Am Not Myself These Days.”

PETA (that’s People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals… shouldn’t it be called PFTETA?) ain’t too happy with this, and so their cute representative Mike Brazell makes an earnest plea for all future drag queens out there to NOT use animals of any kind in their costumes. We ain’t kidding.

Listen to this funky conversation about why you should become a vegan or why you should enjoy having goldfish as pets. It’s all over the place, and a whole lot of fun.

To my pleased surprise, I was walking by a local bookstore in Providence a few weeks ago and saw that Mr. Killmer-Purcell was having a reading that afternoon.

I read the book back in October and absolutely loved it - one of the few I’ve read at one session recently.

Really, read it - he brings you into Aqua’s world and keeps you there - and once it was over, it took me a while to come back.

The reading was wonderful, Josh was even more charming in person than on the podcast, and I got a fabulous Aqua autograph.

Told him I’d heard him on the FOF (which brought a big smile to his face) - don’t think I would have found the book otherwise. That would have been my loss - definitely in my top five for the year.

Alec in Providence (who would’ve liked to have talked a bit longer - but the line of screaming fans behind me were giving me the look)
