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.

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

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)
