| 3/22/26 |  A Low Life in High Heels to the End: Holly Woodlawn Part 5 | Send us Fan Mail If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! This is the final installment of our Holly Woodlawn series and it’s not a quiet last act. The deaths of Andy Warhol, Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis left Holly looking for a fresh start and with that, her Hollywood chapter began. Fate led her to meet Jeffrey Copeland, the unexpected co-writer of her life story, A Low Life in High Heels, which has been the main source for this series. Jeffrey wrote another book just last year ... | 1h 29m 28s | ||||||
| 2/27/26 | A Bottle in Bed and a Beer in the Drawer: Holly Woodlawn Part 4 | Send us Fan Mail We trace Holly Woodlawn’s rise through Paul Morrissey’s lens, the buzz from Trash, and the spiral that followed as headlines collided with addiction and a brazen UN scam. It’s fame at full voltage and a human wrecking ball underneath, ending with a jaw-dropping 1971 interview and a tease of what comes next. This is old, old Hollywood news, but it's so much better than the stupid current news, so hop in and go back in time with us:) Unhinged Interview: https://youtu.be/U5wuwng... | 1h 02m 02s | ||||||
| 1/11/26 | Miss Donut, the Cemetery Heiress : Holly Woodlawn Part 3 | Send us Fan Mail A sex change budget blown and a cinematic breakup lead to upstate pig-slut shenanigans and a Miss Donut crown. Confused? You should be. In this episode, Holly finds her last name, meets Warhol, and almost ruins her chance with him shortly there after. If you've been listening to parts 1 and 2, it's no surprise that this chapter is quite the wild ride on the wild side. And get ready - Holly is going to be our first 5 part episode! Side note- apologies for the late episode pos... | 1h 06m 41s | ||||||
| 12/15/25 | Esoteric Escapades: Holly Woodlawn Part 2 | Send us Fan Mail From streetwalking to a pseudo housewife life, this episode is a journey in and of itself. Holly sold her body, slept on the subway, and even suffered from "streetwalking pneumonia". But she survived. She also met her future Warhol Factory counterparts, Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis, and found herself in a very serious relationship with a straight man who made the mistake of gifting her a Macy's credit card. This isn't a tidy origin story. In fact, it's wildly ... | 1h 18m 46s | ||||||
| 11/23/25 | Lightning Bolts and Shaved Legs: Holly Woodlawn Part 1 | Send us Fan Mail A lightning strike beside a soda machine. A pair of freshly shaved legs in a roadside motel. A runaway from Miami who would become the source of the first verse of Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side. She was a Warhol Superstar, trans icon, and hilarious writer as exemplified in her autobiography, A Lowlife in High Heels. This is the origin story of Holly Woodlawn—born in Puerto Rico, raised between San Juan, New York, and Miami Beach—and this episode traces how glamour ... | 1h 16m 35s | ||||||

| 4/14/25 | Punk to Paint: Tomata Du Plenty Part 2 | Send us Fan Mail Spoiler alert!!! - Tomata keeps doin' stuff in this episode. Our deep dive into his life reveals an artist who refused to be defined by any single medium, constantly evolving from drag performer to punk rock icon to folk artist without ever losing his authenticity. When a broken leg temporarily halted Tomata's performance career in 1983, he discovered a children's paint kit in an alley and began creating art. That same year, he received an HIV diagnosis – a death senten... | 59m 57s | ||||||
| 3/27/25 | Let's Do Things: Tomata Du Plenty Part 1 | Send us Fan Mail At the intersection of drag theater, punk rock innovation, and fearless artistic evolution stands David Xavier Harrigan - better known to those in-the-know as Tomato DePlenty.

We also dig into her lasting friendships (including Marlon Brando) and her counterculture gran... | 1h 26m 34s | ||||||
| 2/13/25 | Post Vampira: Maila Nurmi Part 3 | Send us Fan Mail Just when Maila’s career was starting to run out of steam, some luck with Liberace kept her in the spotlight for a time.

| 11/28/24 | Pre-Vampira: Maila Nurmi Part 1 | Send us Fan Mail Get ready to unravel the journey of a remarkable woman who bucked the expectations of her time at every turn. Maila Nurmi (better known as Vampira) was really and truly the original mistress of the night. As we take a look at her early years, we can see that dichotomy was always present for her. Her father was a teetotaler, while her mother was an alcoholic. She loved beauty, but she also gravitated towards darkness. Maila's path was anything but conventional, and through he... | 1h 35m 43s | ||||||
