I DO FEEL LIKE DANCIN! Because Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters is joining me as a guest for this episode!
Aside from being in one of music's most fabulous pop groups EVER, Ana is the host of BBC Radio 2's Disco Devotion. She's joining me in the episode for a discussion about the history and significance of disco and a look back at a handful of great clips, including: Sylvia Browne on The Montel Williams Show, Sylvester in conversation with Joan Rivers, performances of "Reine de la unit)" and "Je survivrai" from Regine Zylberberg, a high-camp performance of "I Love Men" by Eartha Kitt, and an interview with Pete Burns about Dead or Alive's work with Stock, Aitken, Waterman and the significance of the HiNRG sound.
We're also going to take a deep dive into clips from the outrageous 2000s supernatural soap opera, Passions, including the episode that featured a cameo and performance from the Scissor Sisters!
Hope you enjoy this episode. It was fun to record and I hope that joy comes through when you watch and listen!
