The author of the story is Carlos Greaves. His stories have been featured in The New Yorker and McSweeney's. Reading this story is Jon Cameron Mitchell who wrote and starred in Hedwig and the Angry Inch—the musical and its film adaptation—and has made memorable appearances in series including Girls, Shrill, and City on Fire. And he continues to follow his passions with projects such as his musical podcast Anthem: Homunculus. After the story, host Aparna Nancherla talks to Greaves about his work, and yes, Satan.

PLAY PODCAST John Cameron Mitchell's longtime collaborators, picture editor, Brian Kates, sound editor, Ben Cheah and his Animator and Visual Effects Supervisor John Bair, joined Mitchell in conversation about the the origins and the evolution of their work together. John Cameron Mitchell, Ben Cheah and John Bair joined us via Voice-over IP. When John Cameron Mitchell landed in the downtown art, theater and music scene in New York City in the 1980's any imaginary border that separated an independent filmmakers sensibility from making punk rock music was arbitrary in that his first major creative work, the eventual Broadway hit musical Hedwig and The Angry Inch was born from a DIY collaboration between himself, lyricist and composer, Stephen Trask and other musicians and actors that , true to the NewYork fighting spirit had created beauty and art out of a sense of anger and alienation of era. Later, the filmic adaptation of Hedwig was recognized as part of the wave of late 90's queer independent American cinema alongside the work of filmmakers like Gus Van Sant Ira Sachs and Todd Haynes. . Each of his Three subsequent films, Shortbus, Rabbithole and How To Talk To Girls at Parties also invited us to fearlessly travel into uncharted territories. His most recent project, Anthem: Homunculus, a musical podcast series for the digital age tells a story about a man crowdfunding his survival. What's consistent throughout every project is that it cultivates a cross-pollination of artists representing different groups all the while emphasizing compatibility and compassion between performers, their worlds and the audiences themselves.

The early 90s were wild, messy and outrageous times. At the height of the AIDS crisis, after a decade of Reagan and Bush, performance artists, comedians, musicians and drag queens were all busy challenging their audiences by sticking yams up their butts, throwing poop at them, and sucking whipped cream and cherries off their toes.So why does it seem like people today are more outraged than ever? Is this just a false perception due to social media?Today New York City drag legend Miss Understood joins us to take a look at the outrageous acts of performance artists and drag queens of the early 90s and how a prom dress caused such a confused controversy over cultural appropriation on the Internet.Plus–➤ Hedwig and the Angry Inch’s John Cameron Mitchell announces a new musical podcast project: Anthem: Homunculus.➤ Peaches Christ announces a new horror film musical adaptation of her hit show with Jinkx Monsoon “Slay Gardens.”➤ Are twinks really making a comeback?All this plus Showgirls with monkeys!____________________FEAST OF FUN IS MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF FABULOUS PEOPLE LIKE YOU.LISTEN TO THOUSANDS LEGENDARY SHOWS with NO ADS:★ feastoffun.com/plus
