The Wicked Queen Has Entered the Fiero

About this episode

Wendy, a lifelong Alice Cooper fan, discusses her experiences and the significance of the 1984 Pontiac Fiero.

This week’s guest is Wendy — The Wicked Queen — a lifelong Alice Cooper devotee who has somehow also met Rod Stewart and Prince, because apparently that’s just what happened in the 70s and 80s if you were paying attention. Wendy walks us through what Alice Cooper’s music means to her, how she became the reigning villain of the local parade scene (candy included, kids beware), and makes a passionate case for the 1984 Pontiac Fiero — specifically its little-known stealth mode. Then we put her to the ultimate road trip question: Sonny Bono or Bono, one Fiero, no way out?
