The Night I Danced With Madonna

Ever wonder what it's like to dance with Madonna? Well, we finally have Stefan tell his tale!

In this very-special bonus installment of the podcast, guest host Sean Kennedy (a content creator for The History Channel and SyFy), interviews Stefan for the premiere episode of Sean's new web series "My Crush with Fame."

Listen as Stefan reminisces about the magical night he went onstage as the 'Unapologetic Bitch' during Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour, which happened back on September 24th, 2015.

Stefan's experience shows that it's always good to dream big.

Madonna & The Biopic

Tony is back from visiting Madonna's house in London and Stefan has taken his Madame X tour jacket for its first strut of the fall season.

What better reason to get together for a catch-up! 

This week on the podcast we have a chat about Madonna and her upcoming biopic. She's hard at work with Academy-award winning screenplay writer Diablo Cody and they recently revealed all the details on Instagram Live. We also commemorate the one-year anniversary since the beginning of the Madame X tour and the 20th anniversary of the MUSIC album. 

So kick off your cowboy boots, pour yourself a cuppa tea and enjoy!

Madonna's SEX Book

This week we're traveling back in time to one of the most titillating releases in Madonna's career: the SEX book. Published in 1992, with photography by Steven Meisel, SEX depicted a rarely clothed Madonna in various sexual situations alongside a who's who of guest stars -- and the book was a runaway success. Though its release did not go without controversy and backlash, to this day, SEX remains the fastest selling coffee-table book and is one of the most sought-after, out-of-print books in the country. 

So get your riding crop, crack open your spiral bound metal covers and take an unclothed walk down memory lane with us and, of course, Dita Parlo. 

Christian Vincent: Cowboys, Choreography & Madonna

We are thrilled to welcome multi-talented performer Christian Vincent to the podcast!

We talk about becoming a dancer, appearing in movies, off-Broadway and television, including the ground-breaking show Noah's Arc, getting to be one of the first men of color to appear in a Hallmark Christmas movie, and what happens when Madonna tells you to go country line dancing.
