Welcome to the Two Hundred & Third Edition of The Chronicles of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of The Oz Vlog We welcome Oz historian and The Oz Vlog host Tori Calamito for a magical deep dive into the wonderful world of Oz. Tori joins us to talk about her lifelong love for Frank L. Baum's Wizard of Oz universe and how discovering the original 1939 Wizard of Oz movie as a child sparked a passion that would grow into a career. From building an incredible collection of over 2,000 pieces of Oz memorabilia to becoming one of the most recognised voices in the Oz fan community, Tori shares how a childhood fascination turned into unforgettable real-life experiences. We discuss her favourite and least favourite Oz adaptations (yes, we're looking at you James Franco), whether Hollywood should attempt a Wizard of Oz remake, and how the world of Oz continues to shape pop culture more than 100 years after its creation. We also explore the lasting cultural impact of The Wizard of Oz, Wicked, and the broader Oz universe across film, theatre and fandom. Tori also tells us the story behind The Oz Vlog and her meteoric rise on social media, why she started the channel, and the incredible opportunities it has brought her. From interviewing the cast and crew of Wicked, to gifting Bowen Yang a Pfannee fanny pack (yes you read that correctly), to actually holding the original ruby red slippers, this conversation is packed with behind-the-scenes stories that Oz fans and movie lovers won't want to miss. Also this week, the show kicks off with Storytime with Tom as we dive into one of the strangest headlines of the year involving Olympic skiers at the Winter Olympics and some very unexpected microchipping. From there, we pay tribute to two fallen icons, 3 Doors Down vocalist Brad Arnold and Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek, reflecting on their impact and legacy and Jamie brings the weirdness back to the table with ASDA's new Valentine's event where shoppers grabbing a red basket are apparently single and ready to mingle. Naturally, we have questions. We also break down the so called controversial Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny, which we thought was excellent, and talk about this year's standout Super Bowl commercials. The lads catch up on their weeks as Jamie returns to work, continues his WWE Survivor Series rewatch reaching Survivor Series 2005, and starts the new Marvel TV series Wonder Man. Meanwhile Tom enjoys a well earned week off celebrating his partner's birthday, catching up on TV shows and reacting to Scotland's disappointing start to the Six Nations. As always, Callum returns with a brand new Teachings, including a bold suggestion for next year's Super Bowl halftime show. Tom's Journal features the funniest things he has found on the internet this week. Our Single of the Week segment highlights two brand new song releases you need to hear. And Jamie's audience participation challenge asks what you would name your child if you had to name them after a 10 out of 10 album.

Happy Holidays, everybody! One of the best parts of the season is when friends and family come back to town to bring the light, the noise, and the funk.Today we welcome back one of the first openly gay comedians in Chicago's stand-up comedy scene: Bill Cruz. After his time in LA, Bill has returned to Chicago and is here to help us wrap up this difficult year without crying into our coquito.Back in the day, Bill helped shape our live Chicago comedy show, “Feast of Fools,” a little experiment that somehow evolved into one of the world's first and longest-running podcasts, “Feast of Fun.”And yes, even we're still surprised it's still going on.Join us for this and all the hot news:• Bowen Yang, the second openly gay comedian on Saturday Night Live retires from the show. • Are Republicans using AI to create fake pictures of Trump and Bill Clinton as gay lovers to discredit the Epstein Files? • Britney Spears' “Toxic” video director Joseph Kahn says the reason Avatar never became a big part of the public's consciousness is because gays don't want to have sex with blue cat aliens.• Farewell to filmmaker Rob Reiner and actor Gil Gerard, star of “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.” He was 82.

The show kicks off with holiday chaos as Christmas approaches—Costco crowds, impossible parking, cart etiquette gone wrong, and a warning that Cart Narcs are on patrol, plus talk of incoming rain and classic Conway-style riffs. Michael Monks joins with insight on L.A. County’s declining population and a surprise update out of Kentucky. The conversation shifts to pop culture with news of Bowen Yang potentially leaving SNL, a shoutout to Las Culturistas, and Conway throwing a flag during a spirited Costco debate—including where the largest Costco is and whether Torrance holds the crown. The episode wraps with timely advice on how to avoid heart attacks during the holiday season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that still would not sleep with a man even to avoid the outrageously high cost of IVF. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about 2025's The Wedding Banquet, for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We both thought this movie was going to be a lighthearted comedy, but after sobbing on a plane Ellie would beg to differ. The Wedding Banquet stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, and Kelly Marie Tran in what is technically a remake of a film from 1993 (which we have not seen). The story is a bit out-there, but the characters resonate all the same. If you haven't seen it, the basic plot is this: a gay man and his lesbian bestie decide to help each other out by getting married in exchange for a green card for him and free IVF for her. Honestly with how expensive IVF is (and the general state of immigration), we 1000% get it. There may be nothing more quintessentially 2025 than the gays teaming up to defraud the government and get free healthcare. From the intergenerational trauma and classic mommy-issues to the chosen family and ‘be gay, do crime' of it all, we think The Wedding Banquet is a must-watch. At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on The Wedding Banquet, titled “Pieces”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida. This and all of our original “Lez-ssential” songs are available for purchase on Bandcamp.
