You're Welcome with Zoe Nightingale

You're Welcome is a satirical improv comedy show whose goal is to find and share peoples stories, from all over the world. Each episode is unique and can range from 5 minutes to an hour, and will feature a brand new topic usually with someone Zoe has just met. This podcast is not for the faint of heart, buckle up. ABOUT YOU'RE WELCOME Like most brilliant ideas, this show was started over a molotov concoction of alcohol and various illicit substances. Zoe had given up on her life long dream, of being the female Howard Stern years ago but finally set out armed with a folding table, a couple lawn chairs, and a foam board sign that read "Free Sex Advice." One by one strangers stopped what they were doing and sat down to talk to them about their lives. We'd like to take this moment to thank you for coming to our site and leave you with the eternal words of Oscar Wilde: "I was under the impression that inordinate joviality can atone for an entire lack of class" This show is done for one reason only, to bring laughter and remind you that we are all the same.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE SCAM - Zoe Vs. Burning Man Ticket Scammers ROUND ONE 08/14/2022

THE PERSON BEHIND THE SCAM - Zoe Vs. Burning Man Ticket Scammers ROUND ONE Hi everyone, Editor Emily here. I’ve been the editor of this podcast for the last three years and I’ve had the pleasure of watching the You’re Welcome with Zoe Nightingale community grow into such a loving, compassionate group in that time. Zoe is currently caring for a gaggle of Burning Man virgins, so I’ve taken over to bring you all the newest Burning Man scammer. This episode is a bit different. How does one use the Burning Man principles to cure the hurt in this world? Is the infinite power of love strong enough to help a negative outlook of the world and truly poor decisions? What if those decisions hurt your community or those you care about? In this episode, Zoe was contacted through Facebook by somebody calling themself Aishat, who was looking to sell a ticket to Burning Man. This started as your standard scam offering fake tickets but quickly turned when the scammer admitted their lie. Not only did they steal the name and image of a transgender woman, they have quite the story to tell. It’s not often you get the chance to speak to the real person behind the scam, hear their reasoning, and actually level with them about their actions. Despite this scammer actively targeting the Burning Man community and disrespecting the identity of this woman, we wanted to help them change. To the scammer: We don’t harbor anger towards you. We don’t want to get you in trouble. Anyone can change, your past decisions don’t have to weigh down your future. For those of you attending Burning Man, I hope you all have an amazing time.

Insane Clown Posse - The Pain Games 07/26/2022

Insane Clown Posse - The Pain Games My long lost series from the Gathering of the Juggalos from last August. To say that I've had a hard year creatively - would be an understatement. I think you all know how much I love podcasting. But the last couple years has been quite a rattling experience - and I wasn't able to figure out how to stay alive financially and support this little podcast of mine. When pandemic hit, I kept my apt...and went into hiding in California. Did I pay rent? Oh you bet I did not. Was my apartment way to expensive for me even with a job? YOU BETCHA. I thought I would have some sort of miracle bail out from the government - and I was wrong...Eventually I owed my landlord enough money for him to break my knees in the olden days, and to fix this - I had to sell everything I had - and go seriously off the grid to rebuild my finances and had to take job after job that left me almost no extra resources to support my passion - of podcasting. Not only that...but when I finally got my finances together and started really working again, I met the devil. Literally. High cheek bones, late fifties, head to toe covered in rhinestones, hair like rapunzel...and I fell in love...not romantically but with every single word that came out of this demons mouth. Now, I do dangerous shit all the time while podcasting. I meet strangers, I invite them into my life and world, sit in dark corners and let the floodgates of their past pour over me. This time however, this is the time, my luck ran out. I interviewed him three times, for over 6 hours, I thought this was going to be like my crowning achievement of truly enrapturing a life...turns out...he was a con artist, and a really scary on at that and the end of this left me and emotionally destroyed. I walk around with alot of trust in humans and in myself - and that my mothers white light will protect me from evil most of the time...well...after this experience I literally couldn't pick up my microphones for months or even look at the sound files. HOWEVER - enough is enough - I've never been one to let fear guide my behavior for too long, and after one million beautiful moments of spontaneous human joy and kindness since, I am ready to try this ONE MORE TIME. cuz....fuck it. You know? So here it is one of my lost moments in time - I'm not sure if I ever really left this festival. The Juggalos left a profound impact on my heart. THIS LITTLE CLOWN IS READY TO FUCKING GO. Wherever you are I send you endless light and love and deep deep luck to get through whatever hardships you are experiencing. LOVE ZOE /episode/index/show/zoenightingalesuperstar/id/23865429

THE GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS 11/25/2021

THE GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS HELLO! It is I, here to wish you a very happy thanksgiving, and in case you're hiding from your family in a spacious linen closet, I have prepared a small amuse bouche for your ear holes. I am finally ready to release some of the content I made at the Gathering of the Juggalos that I went to in August of this year. It had been two years since they had been able to gather and the energy was literally ELECTRIC, the Faygo was flowing, and the whoop whoops could be heard from every corner of the festival grounds. Now what is the "Gathering?" The Gathering of the Juggalos (The Gathering or GOTJ)[1] is an annual festival put on by Psychopathic Records, featuring performances by the entire label roster as well as numerous well-known musical groups and underground artists. It was founded by Jumpsteady, Insane Clown Posse (Joseph Bruce and Joseph Utsler), and their label in 2000. Described by Joseph Bruce as a "Juggalo Woodstock"[2] (Juggalo being a nickname for fans of the Insane Clown Posse), the Gathering of the Juggalos spans five days and includes concerts, wrestling, games, contests, autograph sessions, karaoke, and seminars with artists. I would define it as a place where straight men greet each other by showing one another the inside of the their tuchus hole...with some of the nicest people you'll ever meet - where you get sprayed with soda that is composed of toxic levels of sugar and yellow 5 and the shower lines are so long that you literally have this sludgey syprupy shit on your skin so long that you almost turn into a mutant lisa frank animal. It's the hardest thing I've ever tried to collect stories at, and the MOST FUCKING FUN OF ALL TIME. NO RULES. LITERALLY. I've never ever laughed so hard and met such interesting humans. Two thumbs WAY UP FOR THE GATHERING. I've been trying to go to this for 10 years. I went. I saw. Stay tuned for episode 1, dropping on Black Friday. THANK YOU TO KATE SIEFKER - this rockstar (and patreon fan!!) helped me edit this episode and you can check out all her work at and on her instagram: @codec.kate You can always see all the video work that I do at patron.com/oralfixation Check out all my content on my website PLEASE RATE MY PODCAST - every star and review helps keep my little Thomas the tank engine running.

THE WOMAN THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER 10/09/2021

THE WOMAN THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER Hello Listeners! It is I, here to apologize to you for my extended absence from releasing new content. Trust me, I've been working on it, but I have over 200 hours from the last year and I've struggled to revisit that time period for many reasons but mostly just lack of time. However, I have good news! For reasons I still can't comprehend, one of my favorite podcasters of all time, Nicholas van der Kolk from the sublimely gorgeous audio series Love & Radio, has come aboard to help me. My gratitude to him knows no bounds. If you haven't heard their work, check them out ASAP here. So I should have a whole series coming out shortly, with a master story crafter's help. THANK YOU NICHOLAS!! In the meantime I have been reflecting on how much this podcast has meant to me, and the endless joy and wisdom it's brought to my life. The funny thing is, the very first time I tried to do this, and I was so nervous and unsure of what I would even talk about, magic happened. I was sitting at my little folding table next to the steps of Union Square with my poster board that said "Free Sex Advice," totally terrified, and this woman sat down across from us and the next 10 minutes changed my life forever. Her openness, vulnerability, humor and unpredictable sexual desires created this magic portal between us and I feel in love with her, myself, the world, and the power of improv human connection Something that people probably don't know is that the only reason I ever made this podcast was because of my fearless editor and co creator of this...Jimmy Vallance. He was the person that gave me the courage to try to do something that I thought was impossible. He was the one who helped me buy the audio gear, showed me how to use it, and helped me edit for the first couple years of this herculean adventure. He changed my life forever, and I will never be able to repay his endless patience with me as I tried to find my voice...but I just want to say thank you and acknowledge him. So this is the very the very first You're Welcome episode, to remind everyone that no matter what your dream is, you can do it. You just have to fucking do it....and most importantly, that every person has incredible vast crevasses of love and strength in their core, all you have to do is look them in the eye and listen to them to see it. LOVE TO YOU ALL. This photo was taken the first time we ever sat down to edit this show. Time FLIES /episode/index/show/zoenightingalesuperstar/id/20761778

RIP Party Monster 12/25/2020

RIP Party Monster It makes sense to me that Michael Alig, the notorious Party Monster, King of the Club Kids has passed away on Christmas. When I woke up to this news a million different feelings washed over my body...but mostly it was deep sadness. Addiction is a thing that claims lives every second and something that has blackened many parts of my life. Goodbye MIchael. I will never forget you. This is a re-post of a live show I did with him in 2017. I met Michael shortly after he was released from Prison for his 1996 murder of Angel Melendez. For some background, this is the same man whose life that the 2003 movie Party Monster was based off of. He was a brilliant Pied Piper who was able to create a social movement that swept over the nation calling small town rejects and societal misfits to join he's legion of worshipers called the "Club Kids." Reviled by some, worshiped by others, he's like the trump of 90's. As someone who intimately knows the New York Party scene, let me tell you the kind of charisma and raw unique creative chutzpah this takes. It can only happen with a brilliant, ruthless visionary with a calculator brain. Every single person I know whose above 35 got their party flippers wet at Limelight, or Tunnel. HE wasn't a to start monster, he was a God, for years. Then he fell, like Icarus, into the abyss not be be seen or heard for 17 years. He was in solitary confinement for years, and managed to stay on heroin, due to the prison guards slipping him heroin into his sell with his food. So in 2017, I was able to host a live show at the Marcy North and interview him about his life, speak with his family and friends, and provide some light into what a world soaked in heroin and solitary confinement would be like. We spoke endlessly, about life, prison, addiction, redemption, his art, he's dreams and his nightmares. Michael is a rainbow of colors. He has a kind of brutal honesty through his humor that can be sharp and cutting, while being dull and blunt. He reminded me constantly of the Cheshire cat from Alice and Wonderland, both hands pointed in opposite directions whenever I would try to ask him about difficult subjects. We are all chasing a different white rabbit that is represented in our different addictions, whether helpful or harmful. We are all playing hide and seek with the ultimately elusive meta concept of "happiness." We are all constantly scraping up and crashing against each other, harming ourselves and others to varying degrees. The question becomes not if we will harm others it's merely when? Subsequently, how can you ever atone, when the repercussions of your mistakes leave lasting scars on the ones your love, your community, and the world. Furthermore what's really tricky is even if you’re absolved judicially, how do you forgive yourself? I don't claim to answer any of these questions. All i can do is ask them, and when I make mistakes try to put one foot in front of the other, find news ways to live my life, as my mother always says, with gentle loving kindness. Throughout this journey I kept two quotes in mind: From My Neck So Free The Albatross fell off, and Sank Like Lead Into The Sea Dorthy: OZ we're you frightened? Oz: Frightened? Child you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe, I was petrified Thank you to Zev and Gadi for allowing me to do the live show at their beautiful Marcy North Hotel in Williamsburg. Thank you to David Herman, and Emily Brodtman who helped me weave this story together. Songs: Neil Diamond: Damage Done /episode/index/show/zoenightingalesuperstar/id/17328065

Is A Pearl Necklace - The Perfect Holiday Gift? 12/22/2020

Is A Pearl Necklace - The Perfect Holiday Gift? Happy Holidays everyone! I would be merry, but I am Hebrew... just kidding..! I long ago got over my anger about being a lonely Jewess on Christmas and have embraced a happier outlook on what always seemed to me to be the most superficial gift based pagan nonsense imaginable...so in that spirit.... I have a holiday treat for you right in time to slide into your Christmas trees DM's. It's a compilation of my favorite, most uncomfortable moments that I recorded (mostly secretly) of my parents. My parents were both born in 1944, and grew up in very proper, Super Jew families. My mother to me always seemed like a person who got transported directly from a sock hop and never quite fit into modern times. She never said bad words, never talked about sex, never talked about anything remotely off color...and I was born...hmm how do I put this, a red eyed, spikey tailed devil creature...it's taken me a long time to become more like my mother and whats weird is the more I become like her, the more she seems to become like me! Apple vs. Tree...boy, mother daughter relationships are tricky! But my parents weren't as innocent as I imagined, and over the years the let slip that they too had a bit of a sordid past...good thing I was always recording them and was able to catch these moments and preserve them in little amber audio clips...hurray! So, I have literally 100's of hours of us teaching each other over the years..and yes, I will be making more of them because let's face it, they are the best of me, and they make me laugh so hard I can barely breathe. Wherever you are in the world, I know this is a very bad, no good, terrible time for families...and I send you the biggest hug and the advice my mother always gives me when I'm feeling blue... just put one foot in front of the other, take a deep breath, and continue to act with gentle loving kindness to the world around you. This too shall pass. I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING - I am sorry I am/was so obnoxious, thank you for loving me despite me. Music - I'm a Lonely Jew on Christmas Instrumental - Matt Stone and Trey Parker Follow me! @drznightingale More photos and videos will be posted in my website of me and my family struggling to find reasons to like each other over the years! /episode/index/show/zoenightingalesuperstar/id/17294021

The Panty Dropping Pediatrician 12/19/2020

America, FUCK YEAH! 12/11/2020

America, FUCK YEAH! Greeting and salutations my fair weather friends, apologies for my absence, but I needed to take a break from my own brain and reorient my north star. However, I'm back! This is my first humble offering, coverage of the best day of all time, the day that Joe Biden officially won the presidency, and NYC erupted into actual flames of celebration. In my life, I have never seen this kind of joy. The moment he won, I swear to you, squeals, shrieks, honks, pots and pans clanging, laughter, screams, sirens all instantaneously rolled through NYC like a thunderous cloud blanketing every ear drum in jubliant glee. So, I bought 8 mid priced champagnes, put on a red white and blue outfit, painted stars in my face, put on my FUCK TRUMP NO LUBE camouflage trucker hat that I made in times square in 2016, powered up my recorders and hit the streets. I must have gone to every bourough in the city. I was completely wasted by 12 pm. Like first day of freshman year, keg stand, girls gone wild blatto blasted. So, please expect the timber of my voice to be, how do I put it nicely...like a phone sex operator who smokes newport 100's back to back while verberally jerking off married men from Kansas. I'm not proud of it, but I yam what I yam, and unfortunetly for you, this is not my best work. What's worse is that I did like 100 more interviews only to realize that my card had been full the whole time. Just sloppy journalism all around. BUT, this was just the most beautiful day. The dancing, the joy, the tears of relief made the air electric and the day finalized in a burning man like mega rave in McCarren park where we danced until the sun came up. It was magic baby. Anyway, the goal is not to go to brunch. The goal is to continue to fight for the world we want to live in and cleanse ourselves of the last four years, try to eek out a little dignity and restore our country to some semblance of the dream it is supposed to represent. Keep fighting, stay vigilant everyone. All eyes on our you Georgia, make us proud. PS: Shout out to my loves Sean and Cass from the Very Ape podcast who are featured on this episode.

I Didn't Get Arrested!! Love/Hope/Protest in NYC 11/06/2020

I Didn't Get Arrested!! Love/Hope/Protest in NYC Well, just my luck. Depressed and defeated, I took my microphones to Washington Square Park to see how my fellow New Yorkers were coping with the election results. It was a beautiful fall day and New York was A buzz with farmers markets, art, live jazz, poets and artists all converging to lend each other moral support. People were organizing for an "count all votes," rally that was incredibly peaceful. But in mere moments turned into a blood bath. No where is safe. I am so fucking sad. Even if Biden wins. HOW COULD IT HAVE BEEN THIS CLOSE. OOf. It hurts, it hurts so bad. The worst part is I somehow tricked myself that this time of quarantine was going to do something to the collective fabric to inspire compassion for your fellow countryman. I am so fucking bored of racism and intolerance. Aren't you? AREN'T WE ALL. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. We'll, here we are. There's literally no where to go but up. Started from the bottom and now we're...where. All I can do is keep trying to spread love and laughter in my wake and continue to support light and love and good in this word and have faith that enough of us are out there fighting the good fight. This is life or death. This is biblical. This is fucking crazy. Don't lose hope. We just have to take a breather and start all over again. This doesn't end with a Biden win. The senate is still republican, the world is still full of bipartisan vitriol and meanwhile the world is literally burning. Sending everyone as much love as I have in my bleeding, crumpled heart.

OMG WTF IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING 10/21/2020

This is What I Get For Bringing My Mother to Burning Man 10/15/2020

This is What I Get For Bringing My Mother to Burning Man My mom decided to sell our home, and while it may not seem like a big deal to most, I FREAKED OUT. I knew it was bound to happen sometime. When covid hit, my mother was visiting Santa Fe, a place that had always made her heart feel full. The house, that we've spent 20 years in, was sitting, mostly empty, waiting for our triumphant return. My mom has been really careful about Covid, and I've only been able to see her twice in these last 6 months and this for me has been really super duper tough. I need my mother. I need her all the time. I need to hold her hand and wake up next to her and know that she's padding around the house at 6 am in her silk nightgown and Terry cloth robe, reading the paper and drinking decaf. This house of ours, was a new start. After my father was officially out of the picture, we had sold my childhood home and moved into this one together, to start a new chapter. This one was just one for the two of us, my siblings were long gone, and we turned this page together and I proceeded to make so many new fun memories and also sit with some really painful ones. This was our space, our place, and we navigated my teenager years and all the angst that comes with it there, together. I loved this house. I feel like the memories of it will grow softer with time but the feeling of always having a home never will. Thank you mom, for everything.

If They Told You, You Would Cry 09/25/2020

If They Told You, You Would Cry Introducing Natalie Cooper. The founder and principal of Uncommon Schools in Camden NJ. Camden has long suffered from poverty, high incarceration rates, and lack of opportunity for its residents. However, it is a city of tremendous resilience, character and love, and it’s a city working hard to improve the quality of life for its residents. There are many ways in which this city is rising, and one of them is with the help of the Uncommon School Camden Prep. Uncommon schools is a network of 55 charter schools across the east coast. Four of those schools, Camden Prep, are located in Camden, NJ. Camden Prep serves over 800 students in grades K-9, and will grow to serve grades K-12 by 2023. Even though 98% of the student population qualifies for free or reduced price lunch, Camden Prep has proven that circumstances do not determine destiny – in 2015, Camden Prep was ranked the highest performing public or Renaissance school in the city of Camden and has retained that title ever since. During these challenging times, Camden Prep is working to build partnerships to ensure our students achieve continued success on their path to and through college! Natalie is my family, my friend, and a warrior for Justice, and ally to all races and has worked tirelessly to try to help stop inequality at the very earliest stages. I called her back in April, to see how she and her school was handling Corona Virus and what I heard filled me with pride for her and absolute devastation for the reality of what these kids, and her school were up against. This is the help that helps. This is the work that changes lives. These are the people that should be making a billion dollars for the work they do, but still struggle to survive financially. Teachers should be the most celebrated profession of all, and they need our support, love and ears.

You are not Powerless- YOU ARE POWERFUL - Pride 2020 06/29/2020

You are not Powerless- YOU ARE POWERFUL - Pride 2020 Meet Krystal Joy Brown. A drop dead gorgeous dynamite powerhouse who before Corona hit was starring in Hamilton on Broadway. During Quarantine, she like many, after being bombarded with horrific consecutive murders and violence against the black community decided enough was enough. She decided to organize her very own rally dedicated to celebrating all Black Lives and specifically our friends in the Black Trans community. She started by researching what her rights to assemble were, and somehow piece-mealed her very own giant BLM/pride parade. Because of Corona, she couldn't get a parade permit, but that didn't stop her. Instead she found police mediators so on the day she could handle whatever problems may come up with the fact she built a full stage and sound system in the middle of Time Square and then led almost a thousand people down 7th Avenue ( in the middle of the street!) with a marching band all the way until we got to Stone Wall Inn. IT WAS MAGIC. Incredibly organized, full of love and color and cheer. There were crafting stations were you could make your own signs, tons of snacks and drinks and tons of Broadway performers doing spoken word poetry, songs and dance that brought me to tears. Everyone was wearing masks and there were people walking through the parade squirting hand sanitzer randomly on you. You could also get free Conona and HIV tests before we started walking. It was just everything. I was so impressed. Once we got to the legendary Stonewall, there was another sound system set up and we had a full blown dance and block party with some of the best trained Voguers I've ever seen. Now I'm a good dancer, but they literally were so good, all I could do was watch and fan them. It was a true testament to what one woman can do with a ton of chutzpah and a little bit of elbow grease. WE CAN ALL DO THIS. Don't get complacent. The time is now, donate, rise up, speak your truth, educate yourself and we have a tiny shot and maybe, just maybe, reshaping this world into a place that's more equitable for everyone.

Oh NO! Am I Amy Cooper?! 06/17/2020

Oh NO! Am I Amy Cooper?! Interested in a lesson in white privilege? Oh good. I’ve got just the person to talk to, my friend Shanterra McBride. A badass Texan educator that I’ve known since I was a tween. She's my sister's bestie, and they've worked together for years trying to bring justice and dignity to schools and kids all over the country for decades. I'm starting with someone that I know, well, that can help me have this conversation because even though I am a liberal NYC person who believes that they are consistently doing their best, I know I can do better. Furthermore, embarrassingly, before talking to her, I actually didn’t really consider myself a white person. Yes, yes I know, this could sound crazy. But growing up Jewish, I never considered myself in alignment in any way with the blood soaked hands of the original sinners that built this country. If anything I grew up thinking that I was an ally to the Black community. But that doesn't mean that I haven't benefited from white privilege. My ability to say whatever I wanted to whoever I wanted (especially to people in positions of power) originates from there, and I embarrassingly mostly just attributed that to internal charisma. The fact that I can do and say the kinds of things I have said to the police without fear and walk away unharmed, and without a record, stems directly from there. So I bring to you a somewhat awkward (on my part) and hopefully informational conversation with someone who's got many messages to share, but a one that is really somehow obvious only after having this conversation is that white people need to stop asking their black friends what to do. You have a supercomputer in your hand at all times, you want to find ways to educate yourself, ask google! You want to protest and find ways to show solidarity? GOOGLE. You want to donate money to causes in the Black Lives Matter space? Once again, google is here to help all white people stop outsourcing the actual work all of us need to do to be better allies to all communities. Oh yeah, and just because you posted on social media does not mean you are doing enough.

The Dark Truth About Fake News 06/06/2020

The Dark Truth About Fake News As a podcaster, in moments like this, you want more than ever to be able to take your microphones to the streets and be able to amplify as many voices as you possibly can and try to help further causes like Black Lives Matter. However, I am deep in Colorado on road trip with my entire family with almost no access to the internet or phone service so for now, I am proceeding with another podcast that was scheduled for this week and will have to wait to join in the protests when I return to NYC this Monday. I promise you, I will do everything in my power to see the systemic racism that has plagued our country since it's inception stopped. I will do it with storytelling, fundraising, protesting, and getting representatives elected who can actually change the laws that have for centuries purposefully tried to suppress, oppress and incarcerate the African American community. But for now, I bring you the story of Dakota Gruener, the founder and CEO of ID2020. A person that I am honored to call a friend and a woman who is doing work that I think is exceptionally important. For the last four years she has been a champion of the voiceless, working tirelessly to provide vaccines, upward mobility and resources to the world's most vulnerable all around the world. Earlier this year, she was targeted by none other than my least favorite person ever, Alex Jones on his garbage show Info Wars. Because of the nonsense he spun, a slew of internet trolls threatened her life and I am very very angry about it. Normally I wouldn't even want to bring any kind of light to the heartless, disgusting, lie infested work that he does, but this time I felt like I needed to because it's a ripe opportunity to shed light on exactly the kind of poison people like him are spewing into the world. He entangled her in a conspiracy theory so idiotic and insane that I wanted to give her an opportunity to explain that work that she actually does, and in doing so hopefully help continue to bring awareness to her life mission. I love you Dakota. Lastly, fuck you Alex Jones. Fuck Info Wars and fuck all of you soulless internet trolls who hide behind your lies and conspiracies and turn fear into dollar signs, you disgust me. Stay safe, get out there, pick up your signs, make your voice heard, fight for the future and the present you want to live in.

Susanne Bartsch vs. Corona - Taking the Party from The Club to the Couch 05/28/2020

Susanne Bartsch vs. Corona - Taking the Party from The Club to the Couch Hello hello hello! I am beyond delighted to bring you my next episode with the Queen of NYC, Susanne Bartsch. I shouldn't need to fill you in on who she is, but to sum her up in one word, it's ICON. If her name is unfamiliar to you, just do a quick google search, and you'll get a faint idea of the kind of lioness you're about to listen to. For more info you can also check out the Netflix documentary about her called ON TOP, that will make you feel like the least fashionable person in the entire world. This podcast has one purpose only, to promote her next level online parties, which she has put on every Thursday since Typhoon Corona washed up upon our shores and eviscerated our ability congregate together. Corona has effected all of us differently, but there is one community that has been effected dramatically, the arts. NYC is home to some of the best and brightest underground stars on the planet, and they rely on parties to make their living. They work their asses off, literally, and most of them don't have cushions of support to fall back on when things get tough. Artists need our help, while they are usually the fiercest people in the room, they are exceptionally vulnerable to a pandemic of this kind and can use all the love and support they can get. She is looking for a sponsor, to provide a small amount of money to pay the artists and Dj's she employs for these events, as well as people from around the world to tune in and join her Zoom revolution. So, here are the links for all of the next level projects she has put together during Quarantine, not to mention links to the masks and t-shirts she's also produced because she was NOT Netflix and chillin' during Quarantine, she was hustling. I love you Susanne, thank you for making the world a brighter, sparklier, more wonderful place one party at a time. LOVE ZOE PS HER PARTY IS TONIGHT GET ON THAT SHIT. 9 - 11 pm eastern. It's the most fun you'll ever have on Zoom.

The Boy Who Cried Botox 05/14/2020

The Boy Who Cried Botox Todo, I am definitely not in New York anymore. I AM IN LA...and LA is a WILD. I've been here for two months now, and I still feel like Mork, but without a Mindy. It's this bizzaro combination of lush nature contrasted with super ugly highways and strip malls, poverty, new money, old money, itty bitty dogs, over caffeinated mountain bikers, hot yoga moms who don't vaccinate their babies but believe in the healing power of crystals, dumb as actual rocks super babes, brilliant artists, lovely hippies, sick street art, incredible tacos, looming mountain ranges, waterfalls, homelessness and dashed dreams - OH and by the way, EVERY SINGLE DAY IS THE SAME WEATHER. I can't explain how weird that is to me. Same temp, same sun, same same same all day every day. All of this I could handle, but my next two podcasts, cemented for me that I am in fact in a 4th dimension. Now, I originally was just going to interview Justin Jedlica, who was baptized, "The Human Ken Doll," by none other than Babs Walters herself. Why may you ask! Well, it's because Justin is the king of Body Modification. Justin, has had 800 different procedures to augment and perfect his body. Justin is fascinating, incredibly charismatic, and was truly a joy to be around. After I was done with our interview, he introduced me to Tyler, his room mate, who at 22, was recovering from a bicep implantation. Yes, you read that correctly. I am fascinated by this entire subculture because I grew up in Washington D.C, a town famous for troll looking people who funnel all the time attractive people use to do things like fuck other hot people or go for convertible rides into accumulating massive amounts of education, and power, so they can eventually fuck hot people and go on convertible rides. The most amount of plastic surgery I ever saw as a kid was when a couple girls in my school got the Heeb cut right on out of their nose, returning with a snozz you could ski off of and everyone, and I mean everyone, would gossip about it. Plastic surgery was not cool. Cool was getting a good country in Model U.N. Now, I am not one to judge. Everyone gets to do whatever they want to their body. Your body, your choice. Period. But I must say that the next two episodes really confused me. Anyway, if you want to know more about Justin & Tyler.... Tyler: @tylerkd97 Justin: @JustinJedlica Website: As always sending you my love, and virtual hugs wherever you may be in this big beautiful planet of ours. Take care of yourself, spread joy and light. No one needs more darkness right now. If you need help. I MADE MY FIRST SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!!! Check out all the songs I used to dance too when I was a Rave baby many, many, moons ago.

Debbie Does Downtown Abby - Love in the time of Corona Ep. 2 05/08/2020

Love in the Time of Corona with Vikram Gandhi 04/16/2020

Love in the Time of Corona with Vikram Gandhi HELLO WORLD! It is I, Zoe Nightingale and I am BACK. I know I know, it's been a minute, and for that I am deeply sorry. I got swallowed into a work worm hole without and exit but thankfully Corona in her all knowing glory, eviscerated my business and left her to die a slow prolonged death on the side of the highway! The silver-lining of that of course, is that it gave me the time to get back into my first love, podcasting. Granted, it took me a while to grieve the loss of my previous life and settle into my new one. Turns out it's not easy to podcast when all you want to do is crawl into a ball and evaporate, but after a lot of green juice, ocean air and hardcore journaling, I AM BACK! I am am here to provide you with the same kind of hard hitting investigative journalism that I have always have...but with a twist! Almost all of my new podcasts will be done over the phone... but never fear, we will be virtually tackling all your favorite topics such as: SEX DRUGS GLITTER DRAG QUEENS FAILURE SUCCESS DEPRESSION MEANING OF LIFE ORGASMS PARTNERSHIP MONOGAMY PARENTING POLITICS MUSIC FURRY ANIMALS TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS HOMELESSNESS WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO NOW SHIT FUCK TOURETTES etc... With some of the worlds most interesting humans. First up, the one and only Vikram Gandhi who I met in 2008 when a boy I had a gigantic crush on called me and asked if I could host his friend Vikram for the Obama inauguration in Washington D.C. Host him I did, we proceeded to have one of the best weekends of my life. The African American community of DC turned the city to and an 11 and I have never seen happiness and hope for the future on such a wide scale. Remember when we elected Obama? REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS NOT OUT PRESIDENT!!? It all seems like a quaint dream now... Since then I've watched him crush life in almost every aspect. A celebrated documentary film maker, feature film director, producer, and one of Vice's best journalists whose been traveling to every corner of the globe for a decade bringing us stories that never would have seen the light of day if not for his cameras. Thank you Vikram! You are an inspiration and a delight to be friends with. Check out my favorite thing he ever did, his movie Kumare: So enjoy my first podcast, I will be posting more very soon and I hope my voice can keep you company and remind you that at some point, you will have sex again. I promise. I have no idea who with, I could be a vegetable, but it will happen. All joking aside, wherever you are in the world, I send you so much virtual love. This is the single best and worst time to be a human. I'll be posting some comedy writing on activities you can do during quarantine to keep your collective chins up shortly and don't forget if you need me, I'm here! You can find me @drznightingale on the insta [email protected] if you want to email me OR my website /episode/index/show/zoenightingalesuperstar/id/14011490

You're Welcome with Zoe Nightingale
