The world can sometimes feel like it's teetering on the edge of apocalypse, or maybe just a really dramatic season finale.

Lately, we've witnessed a wave of significant deaths, or things that are barely clinging on to life.

TikTok, filmmaker David Lynch, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant,

bodybuilder Chris Adonnell, prep, trans rights, marriage equality, democracy,

the U.S. dollar, the golden globes, the village people, and yes, even Snoop Dog's career.

But as Florence in the Machine wisely reminds us, it's always darkest before the dawn.

Change often comes with chaos, upheaval, and a little bit of existential dread.

So take a deep breath, focus on the solutions, and remember, together we can overcome anything,

especially when everything feels

like it's falling apart.

Today, we celebrate 20 years of podcasting as we launch our 21st season with a special guest

Chicago comedian Dan Cass, known for his razor-sharp takes on relationships.

Join us as we dive into the deaths of icons, institutions, and ideals shaping the future,

including the rise and fall of TikTok and the rise of whatever comes next.

The passing of filmmaker David Lynch.

The Republican-controlled Supreme Court's looming attacks on marriage equality

and our ability to stop HIV.

Trump's latest cash grab with not one, but two, cryptocurrency scams.

And the village people's Victor Willis insists YMCA was never a gay anthem, as he cashes in on all that sweet mag of money.

I'm Faustafernos. I'm Mark Fillion. And all that sweet mag of money. I'm Fausta Furnal.

I'm Mark Fillion.

And this is Feast of Fun.
