The Rainbow Remix

It's Thanksgiving Week in the U.S. and to celebrate, we've got the funniest, MOST streamed, listened and downloaded show in our podcasting history! It's a classic from 2008. It's foul, irreverent, and it's sheer debauchery. For those of you outside the U.S. that aren't familiar- this was annual tradition that Denise devised- to get wasted on the air and make celebrity prank calls the night before Thanksgiving. Pop this show on while your elbow deep in stuffing turkeys and making pies. Promise, you'll laugh. The Rainbow Remix is back next week. 

JD is at a "Cher" theatre event tonight, so Denise welcomes author, presenter, comedian Frank DeCaro back to the show to discuss his new book, "Disco: Music, Movies and Mania Under the Mirror Ball", which has made it into the New York Post's list of the 'Best Books For Christmas' List already! It's the DEEPEST of dives into disco the way only Frank can do. We talk about the research, the memories, the interviews and more! Buckle in, it's a ride!

JD and Denise welcome South Florida lesbian legends Ronnie Dunayer and Charlie Dilks to the show. An inspiring discussion about life from the 1950's to present time, complete with all the challenges they encountered from being out, what lesbian bars were like, the harassment and the workplace discrimination they overcame. We talk about how far we've come as a community, how important activism is and what inspires their passion for philanthropy also touching on the new show spotlighting Charlie's life at Delray Beach's Art Garage.

JD and Denise talk about the effects from being so blindsided by the U.S. election results last week and how they've been feeling since, as well as what they are seeing from our LGBTQIA community on social media. They've gathered resources, phone lines and websites out there to help with mental health, fears and depression.

JD and Denise welcome back Aria Velz (the 'Critical Lesbian' on the socials) who brings us some Halloween film picks for you and your Boo. Some are pretty obscure and others are fan favorites.

While Florida recovers from back-to-back Hurricanes, Denise and JD put together a great compilation of part of our chats with Celeste Pechous, from "Work In Progress", Michelle Bonilla who's started on "ER" playing one of the first recurring lesbians on network TV and most recently in "911 Lone Star", and the new show "High Potential" -then of course, Michelle Clunie from the long running, ground-breaking "Queer As Folk".

JD and Denise talked with public speaking coach, presenter, writer, comedian and key note speaker Ian Hawkins, from the U.K.  He tells us about his early days writing comedy for the BBC, then doing stand up, and how those skills have helped him become a welcomed figure at business conferences, work shops and company functions as a host, speaker, moderator and the guy that keeps things moving along. He also tells us a funny story about the late Queen Elizabeth. To watch this conversation on our Youtube Channel, click this link.
