It’s a special Swish Edition mega-episode, recorded on-location in Las Vegas at the fabulously over-the-top Encore Beach Club at the Wynn / Encore resort property. Thanks to our gracious hosts at the Wynn/Encore, Dale & I–along with our increasingly present sidekick Steven J. Walker–took Las Vegas by storm, and were thrilled to welcome some very exciting guests to our make-shift studio at the Beach Club’s Bungalow #1. The episode is SOOO big, we separated it into two files.
First up, Dale, Steve and my #1 fag hag Elaine Freehrer stops by for the opening banter. She’s an absolute hoot and every gay man’s best buddy. Together the foursome talks about their four days in Las Vegas.
Next up Hal Sparks stops by for a chat that ranges from his progressive radio shows to his take on politics including DOMA, DADT to his rock band “Zero1.” And, of course, to his work as Michael on Queer As Folk. This is a great straight ally, folks, and Dale & I couldn’t have been more pleased to welcome him to the show. You’ll love this poolside conversation.
At the beginning of part II, we chat with the Wynn/Encore’s Stephanie Rosol. This groovy lesbian describes all the amenities that the resort has to offer, taped at the famed Wynn golf course’s country club patio on the most perfect spring afternoon. She breaks down all the restaurants, shows, casinos, pools, guest rooms and more.
Then we welcomed back to the show an old friend, Christopher Peterson. This female impressionist is not your average drag queen. He transforms right on stage in front of the audience from one fab character to another including Judy, Liza, Madonna and more. No lipsynching here, folks. Christopher–a longtime fixture on the east coast–now headlines his one man, many women “Eyecons” show at The Onyx Theater.
Finally Dale & I chat with three of the gay cast members of the incredible Le Reve show and includes some of the great music from the show. (Sorry for some parts where the music is a bit loud; they were rehearsing in the theater while we were taping.)
It’s Episode 125, “Sin City.” Part I and Part II can be found below. You can stream or download the audio from those picture of us below, get the audio episodes free from iTunes, or stream them with the free Stitcher Radio app. Oh, and we now have an Android app, too.
