Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey are superheroes of reality TV. This dynamic duo, along with their award-winning team, have not only made RuPaul's Drag Race a mainstream success but have been designated by Variety for having the biggest impact in reality TV. The team celebrates 30-plus years since they founded the multi-media empire that is World of Wonder, responsible for some of our community's most trailblazing queer content, giving voice to underrepresented artists, icons, and activists. What started out as a dream with barely any money to buy a fax machine has turned into a global conglomerate with award-winning TV shows, web series, live events, podcasts, films, and documentaries that have bridged the gap between LGBTQ+ and mainstream programming.

The eye-opening documentary, EXPLANT, examines the #1 cosmetic surgery in the world today - breast enlargement. Iconic media personality Michelle Visage (RuPaul's Drag Race), who has had breast implants most of her adult life, believe they are making her sick - and she's not alone. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of women have come forward with similar beliefs, clashing the the medical establishments claim's that implants are completely safe. The EXPLANT follows Michelle Visage on her personal journey to have her implants removed.  It also takes a deep dive into the stranger-than-fiction history of the breast implant. From interviews with the first-ever recipient of the modern-day implant to a confession from a whistleblower, the film shows how complications and auto-immue issues have shadowed implants for decades - and why the medical establishment is reluctant to warn patients of these risks. EXPLANT is produced by World of Wonder co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey and directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Jeremy Simmons, with executive producers Michelle Visage and David Case. Director Jeremy Simmons joins us for a conversation on the history of implants, the benefits as well as the potential medical complications, the implant manufacturers resistance to honest inquiry and obfuscation of medical research by them and the determined courage of the film's subject, Michelle Visage, to seek out her truth regarding the impact that implants have had on her life.

Money. Success. Fame. Glamour. We're back in the NY club scene about a decade later with the Party Monster story. While we mostly stay on the film track we get detailed about the many documentaries about the true story that more than inspired this tale. There are so many fashion standouts that could be it's own episode. The portrayal of Michael Alig and James St. James by Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green deserves all the awards. Me, Charles, and Mikey talk this INSANE story, the uncomfortable accuracies, and question just how the fuck this all happened.Off-topic rants include: TV shows we're obsessing on, newish Brokeback Mountain news, and tales about Mikey's dog Boss."Now it's all about photo placement. So if you're in a group of three always, always, always make sure that you're the one standing on the right because that way when they print the picture you'll be the one on the left. The caption will read "James St. James and bla bla bla" were seen, okay?"--- Get BONUS episode recaps on Freaks and Geeks and (currently) My So Called Life and to support the show, join us on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007  & Charles @charleshaslam Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com

We're talking about the “fabulous but true tale of murder in clubland,” Disco Bloodbath. Later re-printed as Party Monster, this non-linear, Ketamine-infused true crime novel paints an abstract picture of the Club Kids and details the horrific murder of Andre “Angel” Melendez by scene leader, Michael Alig. This book has absolutely everything you could want from a queer text... and also some things you might not want want. We talk about how we as queer people can integrate the fabulousness with the grotesque and how we can maintain our bonds without the trauma. Also we talk about Ketamine.

A look at the story of the most financially successful film of all time 'Deep Throat'.  A movie which brought Porno Chic into the limelight.  Directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato.  

Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey have been running World of Wonder, their Hollywood-based TV production company, for nearly three decades. For the past 10 years, World of Wonder has produced RuPaul's Drag Race, featuring perhaps the best-known drag queen ever. The show's format has now been copied into local versions in several additional countries, just one of the ways Barbato and Bailey have diversified, survived and thrived in an era increasingly hostile to independents. In my conversation onstage with Barbato and Bailey at the recent VidCon in Anaheim, they talk about opening a retail store on Hollywood Boulevard, launching DragCon events in New York and Los Angeles, creating a social-media powerhouse, nurturing outsider creative talents, getting into long-form documentaries, and turning those docs into scripted programming. It is indeed a wondrous world for World of Wonder. Give a listen. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/davidlbloom/support

Guests include former members Carey Miller and Jessica Cooper, expert and author Debby Schriver, and Ministry of Evil docu-series producers Fenton Bailey, Leslie Mattingly and Eleanor West.

In the beginning, Tony and Susan Alamo were street-corner hucksters, handing out apocalyptic leaflets to hippies in Hollywood, using the horrors of war and civil unrest in the 1970s as a way to tap into the psyche of the times. Amanda Knox takes a look at the Alamos' fire-and-brimstone evangelism that sucked members into their cult and trapped them there through manipulation and exploitation. Guests include former member Carey Miller, expert and author Debby Schriver, and Ministry of Evil docu-series producers Fenton Bailey, Leslie Mattingly and Eleanor West.

Adam talks to British producer and director Fenton Bailey one of the co founders of TV production company World Of Wonder, responsible for Rupaul's Drag Race, Jon Ronson's Secret Rulers Of The World and The Adam & Joe Show)THIS PODCAST HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR A WEBBY AWARD!You can vote for me at wbby.co/pod-intVoting is open until Thursday, April 19th, 2018Thanks!DOWNLOAD THE FREE ADAM BUXTON APPhttp://adam-buxton.co.uk/appEP.72 - FENTON BAILEY NOTESHello, Adam here. As I write these notes myself I thought I may as well start doing it in the first person rather than pretend I have someone to do it for me. It's more or less a transcript of my spoken introduction, but here it is for your reference pleasure. Podcast number 72 features a conversation with an important figure in my life, British born producer and director Fenton Bailey who, along with his partner Randy Barbato, set up the production company World Of Wonder. In the early 90s I would stay up late and watch 'Manhattan Cable'. It was one of a number of World Of Wonder programmes that showcased and celebrated marginal culture, often with a trashy or camp aesthetic although from time to time they also produced shows like 'LA Stories' and Jon Ronson's series 'The Secret Rulers Of The World' that had a more serious journalistic edge.In an effort to tap into British homemade video culture Channel 4 commissioned World Of Wonder to make a show called ‘Takeover TV' in 1995. I sent in some videos I'd made while at art school and ended up presenting several episodes. By that time Joe Cornish was also involved and we went on the make ‘The Adam & Joe Show' for Channel 4 between 1997 and 2001, with much of it shot and edited in World Of Wonder's office opposite Brixton tube in South London.Although the bulk of World of Wonder's output, which currently includes the phenomenally successful ‘Rupaul's Drag Race', is overseen from their offices in Los Angeles, Fenton and Randy met in New York in the early 80s. It was in NY that they formed their electronic dance duo, The Fabulous Pop Tarts, and in the course of gigging around New York's clubs they met not only drag artist and musician RuPaul but the so called Club Kids, a group of outrageous party scenesters whose number included Michael Alig. Fenton & Randy had already begun filming the antics of the Club Kids when Michael Alig and his roommate Robert Riggs murdered fellow Club Kid Angel Melendez.The story formed the basis of World of Wonder's 1998 documentary ‘Party Monster - The Shockumentary', and was further adapted as a 2003 feature film ‘Party Monster' starring Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green.My conversation with Fenton took place in November 2017 at World Of Wonder's LA offices.Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support.Music & jingles by Adam BuxtonRELATED LINKSMANHATTAN CABLE (1991)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF4GjU6W9i0LA STORIES - THE RIOTS THAT SHOOK THE CITY (1992)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyIZp3XZ6Hs‘PARTY MONSTER - THE SHOCKUMENTARY' (1988)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYvDm-9ofSsMICHAEL ALIG & THE CLUB KIDS ON ‘GERALDO' (1990)
