We have the EGOT of awards show writers! It’s Bruce Vilanch! You might know him from the 90’s reboot of Hollywood Squares, or his contributions to Bette Midler’s shows such as “Clams on the Half Shell” or “Divine Madness.” He has been a recurring guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, but we have him all to ourselves this week.  

We talk to him about The Fabulous Allan Carr, and he gives us some insight into working with Allan on the infamous 1989 Oscars. He tells us all about the good stuff that got cut from the show and what inspired some of the cringier moments.

We have the celebrated international vocalist, performing artist and comedic monologist, Amber Martin. Heklina and Marc talk to her about supporting John Cameron Mitchell in the Origin of Love: The Songs and Stories of Hedwig and find out about her amazing studio album, A. M. GOLD. It is co-written with award-winning Australian songwriter Brett Every and includes two songs featured in John Cameron Mitchell’s film, How To Talk To Girls At Parties, (starring Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman). We love this raw, Janis-Bette-Reba inspired, genre-hopping vocal dreamboat; listen-in to hear some exclusive vocal stylings she recorded with us. WE LOVE THIS SHOW PONY FREAK and you will too.
