Podcast appearances and mentions of Boy George

Send us a textRHOP-The Cannabis, The Chaos, The Comebacks⭐ PODCAST SUMMARY — RHOP S10 E10: “Blunt Truths”We open with Gizelle shopping for an electric car at AMC, where Wendy meets her to talk leases, G-Wagons, and—of course—Stacey. Wendy says Stacey's not a bad person; Gizelle says she can have her. The salesman in the backseat on the test drive deserves his own confessional. The ladies also reflect on Monique's return and how much they miss Karen.Stacey gears up for her June 19th cannabis brand launch—she's the first Black woman in Virginia to own a cannabis business—but the other women are anything but supportive. She vents to boyfriend AJ about Tia trying to give her a “British read.”Tia, meanwhile, is in her real estate office giving a mini memoir about growing up rich (Boy George for a neighbor, Sting's daughter as a classmate) and how quickly it all vanished in the 80s. She calls Stacey about her launch invitation and insists they need a talk first.Over at the arcade, Ashley and Josh are racing digital cars, but the relationship has run out of gas. Ashley breaks up with him, realizing she wants a partner who can stand beside her, especially after watching her mom struggle.Next: Gizelle & Monique reunite. And honestly? This was the scene of the episode. They revisit the infamous “drag me” moment, Monique's five years of self-reflection, and how her divorce forced her to unpack her own patterns. Monique is fully accountable, calm, and reflective—owning her role, discussing her emotional triggers, and even apologizing for how her actions affected Gizelle's daughter. Gizelle admits her part a little, but Bravo didn't show the full accountability Monique says happened (confirmed on WWHL).At the jewelry store, Greg, Michelle (Kei's mom), and Angel look at engagement rings, but Greg doesn't want to buy the condo as a wedding gift without talking to Kei first.Ashley takes her sister Jessica shopping. Jessica reveals her father is the alcoholic partner they've been talking about, breaks down, and Ashley steps in as the supportive big sister.Wendy & Eddie host their Pop-Up at Far & Dotter, featuring Eddie's new strain, The Nutty Professor.Then it's time for Stacey's Shayo launch—but Wendy's not invited because it's a “competing brand.” Stacey's gummies are a partnership product (not fully owned by her), which producers make very clear.Ashley arrives wearing the same exact denim dress Stacey has on—same dress, same hairstyle, same day. You can't make this up. Stacey pulls Ashley aside and demands they reset. After loud back-and-forth (and Ashley calling her a “lying ass ho”), they agree to “no more lies, no more negativity.” For now.The group gathers, and Stacey confronts Tia about her comments and about allegedly siding with Wendy and Eddie. Tia fires back that she gave Stacey grace despite hearing a lot of accusations. Gizelle jumps in to call Stacey “a liar.” Then the gloves fully come off:Tia: “Why don't you shut up for a second?”Stacey: “You're not gonna tell me to shut up.”Tia: “I am prim and proper.”Stacey: “You're a try-hard just like your fashion.”Living the Dream with CurveballOn the living the dream with curveball podcast I interview guests that inspire.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

It is a Bollywood-inspired adaption of the Charles Dickens 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. A hard-nosed businessman, Mr. Sood (Kunal Nayyer), is forced to confront his past, present, and future over one fateful Christmas Eve – guided by three unforgettable spirits (Eva Longoria, Billy Porter, Boy George) – on a journey toward compassion and redemption. We break down all things Christmas musical, Christmas Carol, and Christmas in England.

In this episode we welcome not one but two wonderful guests to RBP Towers. Susan Compo and Derek Ridgers have been trans-Atlantic pals for decades and first met on a FourFourTwo assignment to interview and photograph the L.A.-expats "soccer" team Hollywood United. Starting with Susan's punk years in Southern California, we hear about her memories of seeing the Sex Pistols live in Dallas and Tulsa in January 1978. She also talks about her trip to London the year before, prompting Derek's recall of the punk scene he began photographing at clubs such as Vortex and the Roxy. Derek then rewinds his story to his late '60s days at Ealing School of Art when fellow student Freddie Mercury nicked his girlfriend in a local pub. The conversation oscillates between Susan's reflections on her career move – from music journalism to short stories about star-crossed Goths – and Derek's memories of the New Romantic "movement" he documented so brilliantly in early '80s London. In between clips from John Tobler's 1984 audio interview with Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley, Derek talks about his approach to his chosen medium. After touching on Derek's years at Loaded magazine and Susan's terrific books about Warren Oates and David Bowie, we discuss our shared passion for football/"soccer" before paying tribute to Derek's former NME colleague Jack Barron. Jasper then talks us out with quotes from newly-added library pieces about Grandmaster Flash (2000) and Boy George (2024). Many thanks to special guests Susan Compo and Derek Ridgers. Susan's books, include Malingering and David Bowie and The Man Who Fell To Earth are available from all good bookshops. You can visit Derek's website at derekridgers.com and his latest book, Hello, I Love You, is published by IDEA.  Pieces discussed: The Sex Pistols Shoot To The Top, The Cure: Happily Ever After, White Noise/White Sands: The Bowie Who Fell to Earth, Gary Kemp on the RBP podcast, New Romantics, Electro-Disco: Night Moves, Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley audio, Jack Barron, Nick Cave: The Needle And The Damage Done, The Stone Roses: Bliss This House, Gregory Isaacs: Gregorian Rants, Gong: The Gong Remains The Same, The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash in the Game of Life⁠ and ⁠Boy George⁠.

A conversation with Stephen Jones – milliner who has created hats for a vast array of people including Boy George, David Bowie and Princess Diana whose career began in a squat on Warren Street in London together with the Blitz club kids, shares recollections at Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s exhibition at The Design Museum London in November 2025.

From Take That to “Angels” to being labelled “toxic” online, Robbie opens up about what it means to survive in a world where everyone seems angry. He reflects on depression, ego and his search for meaning after superstardom - and reveals why he's still addicted to fame, even when it hurts. Expect stories about Gary Barlow, Boy George, Ricky Gervais, Lady Gaga, Charlie Kirk and even Donald Trump's assassination attempt - plus Robbie's hilarious take on why “everyone with an opinion feels toxic” and why he can't stop reading the comment sections. This is the most honest Robbie Williams you've ever seen - part confessional, part comedy and completely Heretical. #robbiewilliams #hereticspodcast #charliekirk  Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com  Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates  Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Robbie Williams Highlights 2:30 Robbie Williams WATCHES Heretics? 4:45 Sleeping Really Badly 8:00 Kids Having Phones 11:15 Reading An Article About Himself (Daily Mail) 12:30 Robbie Asking About Hyper-Awareness 15:30 What Is Happening with Heretics 18:30 Accepting Being Shouted At Online 21:00 Purpose and Happiness 22:30 Robbie Retired & Grew A Beard 25:30 Is It Different Being An Older Pop Star 26:45 Vaudeville, Cabaret & Entertainment 27:45 Not Radiohead or Oasis, but Tommy Cooper 28:30 Accidentally Pissing Off Boy George 30:30 We Don't Have Youth Movements Now 32:30 Why Can't Robbie Write Another Angels? 36:15 How Angels Saved Robbie's Career 37:30 When People Sing Angels At Robbie 41:30 Ricky Gervais & Guitar Lessons 43:30 People Criticising Food Waste! 45:20 Charlie Kirk 47:30 Why Is Everyone A Dick? 50:37 Culture Wars & Toxicity 53:10 Getting Jealous of Lady Gaga 55:30 Hopeium 57:30 What Can't Robbie Afford? 59:30 Needing Fame to Feel Whole 1:01:15 Robbie & Andrew Pranked Shaun Attwood 1:04:30 Why Robbie is Back to Brit Pop 1:07:30 Robbie's Most Under-Rated Song 1:11:00 A Heretic Robbie Williams Admires Learn more about your ad choices.

After growing up in the north of England British milliner Stephen Jones went on to become a pioneering British hat maker working in Paris. He has been creating avant-garde designs for the last 45 years, inspired by Surrealist art, trailblazing fashions at New Romantic club nights, and cinema. He was friends with pop star Boy George who wore his hats, and he famously created a tweed crown for Vivienne Westwood. Rather than a mere accessory, he aims to transform a hat into a statement of identity, and has collaborated with designers like Jean Paul Gaultier and Dior, helping to revitalise fine hat-making skills inspired by looks from copies of Vogue from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. The prestigious Palais Galliera fashion museum in Paris holds exhibitions every year, showcasing how fashion has evolved from the 18th century to the present day. Its focus is on the most iconic designers and Stephen Jones is one of only two hat makers ever to be included – a huge honour. Rosa Johnston-Flint joins Stephen in Paris as his retrospective is about to close and visits his workshop as he prepares his Spring-Summer 2026 collection for London Fashion Week.

London's Blitz club in 1980 had a huge impact on the way the decade looked and sounded, the launchpad for Boy George, Spandau Ballet, a new age of electro-pop and many writers, designers and photographers. The author and broadcaster Robert Elms was one of its cornerstones, “a place for people who'd outgrown the 20th Century”. We talk here about his book ‘Blitz: the Club That Created the ‘80s' with all of this on the dancefloor … … the Blitz Club rules, “unspoken until Steve Strange spoke them”. And the door policy: “Look at yourself, darling. Would YOU let yourself in?” … first nights “with a Space Cossack shirt and asymmetric wedge” and the origin of the term New Romantic … the rise of the “home-made Macaronis” (dictionary definition: “over-dressed popinjays of dubious sexuality”) … Bowie's Starman, Roxy, soul, disco, Weimar, Max Ernst, Otto Dix, Edith Piaf, Swinging London, Andy Warhol and other keys strands of Blitz DNA … its anti-rock stance and impact on the mid-‘80s American charts … the news-friendly night Mick Jagger was barred entry … “I was spat at by an old lady at a bus stop for wearing eyeliner and a kilt” … when Island offered Spandau a deal after just three numbers … the role of the Face, Smash Hits and the new full-colour media … the author's “dilettante” passage through skinhead, suedehead, soul boy and punk … and the night Bowie appeared, “like Jesus walking into your local church and sitting in a pew”.

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are back after the summer break and we head to the Design Museum in London. Opening in September is a fascinating exhibition that celebrates the iconic and influential Blitz - "the club that shaped the 80s". It was a hotbed of music, fashion, and culture in the late 70s and early 80s that helped influence the entire decade. We meet up with Boy George to talk about the club, the scene it shaped and its lasting impact, that is still felt today. The Design Museum exhibition on the Blitz Club opens on September 20th and runs until the spring of 2026.

We're back and finishing up Drag Race UK Season 4.This week, Jesse and I walked down memory lane and talked about some old Bring Back my Girls reunions and talked about Holland and Philippines for a bit before diving into the last segment of this UK season.We talked about the makeover challenge, a vicious rumor about Ru and Boy George, Jesse shares an especially spicy opinion about an outfit, the Squirrel Games, the political themed roast, and the RuPaul medley finale.Twitch

Joining me today is Simon Merry. With over 25 years of experience Simon Merry is one of the UK's most in demand drummers. His style and professionalism has been sought after over the years for touring and recording by such artists as: George Michael, Ronan Keating, Boy George, Natalie Imbruglia, Gene Pitney, Olly Murs, Sophie Ellis Bextor, One Direction, Gary Kemp, Paul Young, Boyzone, Bananarama, Go West and Rick Astley. Join us for a fascinating conversation as we pick through some of the amazing highlights of his remarkable career so far. We of course talk about his gig with the legend that is Rick Astley (also a mean drummer as many of you will have seen) Simon also tells us how he got the Gene Pitney gig as a teenager, Simons dad was Gene's musical director and offerd the gig to Simon, not without a proper auduition first though, so certainly no favours and he had to and indeed did deliver the goods until Pitneys death in 2006. Simon, thank you for an absoloutely fascinating conversation! www.simonmerry.com

Martin Gordon has a fascinating musical mind. His most recent work, His Mother was a Woman, features a collaboration with a leader of the free world. The record is unique, fascinating and, most importantly, really fun to listen to.To get your own copy of the record, or to purchase any of Martin's records, check out his website.

From his arrival in London in 1981 – clutching a suitcase and sewing machine – to his death from AIDS on New Year's Eve 1994, Leigh Bowery – the man described by Boy George as ‘modern art on legs' – led an extraordinary life; a life chronicled in the equally extraordinary biography by his closest friend and confidante Sue Tilley, reissued by Thames and Hudson this February. Tilley was at the shop to discuss Bowery's life and legacy with Charlie Porter, author of What Artists Wear, and whose debut novel Nova Scotia House was published by Particular Books in March.

We meet John Cameron Mitchell, groundbreaking American actor, writer and director best known for creating, directing and starring in the Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001), a film adaptation of the off-Broadway stage production he co-wrote with composer Stephen Trask. In 1998, he co-created Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a genre-defying rock musical about a genderqueer East German singer navigating identity, love, and fame. The show became an off-Broadway sensation, earning a cult following. In 2001, Mitchell directed and reprised his role as Hedwig in the film adaptation, which won the Best Director Award and Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. The film's success cemented his status as a visionary filmmaker.Following Hedwig, Mitchell directed Shortbus (2006), a provocative indie film exploring sexuality and relationships through an ensemble cast. In 2010, he directed Rabbit Hole, starring Nicole Kidman, a deeply emotional drama about grief, which earned Kidman an Academy Award nomination.Marking 25 years since the London premiere of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, theatrical icon John Cameron Mitchell presents a spectacular one-night-only celebration of his career and of the cult classic that rocked the foundations of music theatre forever. On Tuesday 8th July, the two time Tony Award-winning star of stage and screen will take to the West End stage for the very first time, joined by a host of incredible special guests including Boy George, Divina de Campo, Michael Cerveris, Nakhane, Martin Tomlinson and Mason Alexander Park.Expect the unexpected – from the glittering glam that rocked him as a boy living in early 70's Scotland, to gut-punching ballads spanning Off-Broadway, Broadway, Hollywood and beyond — as Mitchell opens his heart and history to the city that first embraced Hedwig a quarter-century ago.Dress to Express as we celebrate the transformative power of music, love and radical self-expression. London, it's been a long time coming, are we ready to ‘Pull that wig down off the shelf'?! Visit: https://lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/john-cameron-mitchell/Follow: @JohnCameronMitchell Hosted on Acast.

Zac and Jay sit down with Dave Manheim – creator of Dopey, the darkly hilarious and deeply moving podcast about “drugs, addiction, and dumb sh*t,” or as he now calls it, “the dark comedy of drug addiction.” What began as two friends swapping war stories has grown into a full-blown cultural force, with a diehard community, celebrity guests, and an archive of the funniest, most heartbreaking, and most brutally honest stories in the recovery world.Dave talks about launching Dopey just four months into sobriety with his late co-host Chris, the tragedy that reshaped the show, and why humor – especially the twisted kind – is a lifeline. He opens up about chasing guests like Marc Maron, Boy George, and Jason Biggs (and getting ghosted), his complicated feelings about being called “Dopey Dave,” and how working at Katz's Deli taught him more about recovery than any rehab ever did.They get into podcast beefs, the sad reality of grief that often shadows recovery, the great weed debate, and what happens when someone who never set out to “help people” accidentally does just that – over and over again. Dave's smart, incredibly earnest and very, very funny.If you've ever been told “once a junkie, always a junkie,” if you've experienced unexpected loss in recovery, or if you believe this addiction stuff is heavy enough and that humor is an essential ingredient in getting through it – please give this episode a watch or listen.Link to Dave's podcast: Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug AddictionConnect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

The Musical. A global icon and the unmistakable voice of Culture Club, Boy George opens up about his extraordinary journey through fame, fashion, and fearless self-expression. He shares how his family shaped his early life, reflects on the highs and lows of his career, and gives a sneak peek into the forthcoming Culture Club documentary — a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the band that broke barriers and redefined pop music.

It's a good thing ANOHNI and I decided to leave the cameras turned off for the interview included in episode 118 of the LSQ podcast, because there were moments when she was talking --about her creative process, about using her voice and her music as a survival strategy, about what it felt like to grow up as a trans femme amidst the violence of patriarchy -- that I was nearly in tears, so moved by the way she described her experience. And since crying while interviewing is as cringe as "crying in baseball," it was a relief not to be seen in those moments. It was fascinating to hear ANOHNI's story of discovering her musical spirit as a child, motivated by a desire to reveal feminine emotion and power in a way that she felt her mother was not allowed to, and to learn how she developed her creative process from there. ANOHNI talks about drawing inspiration from artists such as Kate Bush, Boy George, Marc Almond, Alison Moyet, Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Diamanda Galas and more, and how she has learned to adapt musical forms to suit her voice (both the literal voice and the symbolic voice). She also shares about her relationship with her mentor, the late Lou Reed, how greatly he encouraged her early in her career, and what it was like to recently perform some of his music live for the first time since he passed. You can keep up with ANOHNI here. This is also the first video episode of the LSQ podcast, with awesome illustrations and animation crafted by Jess Rotter and Andrew Deselm. Thanks to them for the wonderful work!
