It was one of those nights — tech glitches, corset struggles, and all — but we made it through with heart, humor, and important conversations.

This week on Live! with Fefe & Freddy, we cover:

Queer History Prior to WWII
Before Stonewall, before Pride parades, before rainbow capitalism — queer people were building communities, writing literature, opening research institutes, and fighting criminalization. From Oscar Wilde and his 1895 trial, to Berlin’s thriving queer scene under the Weimar Republic, to the groundbreaking work of Magnus Hirschfeld and his Institute of Sexual Research, we explore the rich (and often erased) LGBTQ+ history that existed long before WWII.

We also highlight the Harlem Renaissance and figures like Gladys Bentley and Langston Hughes, along with lesbian literary icon Radclyffe Hall — and discuss how LGBTQ+ icons can be both groundbreaking and problematic.

Black History Month & A Civil Rights IconWe reflect on Black History Month and the passing of civil rights activist Jesse Jackson at 84. We also asked our audience: What Black historical figure do you carry with you? Names like Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, and Shirley Chisholm came up — and the conversation was powerful.

Weekend Recap & Pop Culture TeaFefe hosted Queen of Hearts Drag Bingo and received a sweet “You Are Safe With Me” pin. Freddy judged Pride Day at the Ren Faire and shared the heartbreaking news of saying goodbye to his beloved cat.

We also dive into:

• The reboot of The 'Burbs (now starring Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall)

• The explosive Netflix documentary Inside America’s Next Top Model and Tyra’s attempt at redemption

• Updates in LGBTQ+ healthcare in Phoenix

It’s messy. It’s meaningful. It’s your Wednesday night conversation.

Welcome back to YOUR Wednesday night conversation!

In Season 14, Episode 14 of Live! with Fefe & Freddy, we cover everything from knowing your rights while protesting to Bad Bunny’s record-breaking halftime show, plus political headlines and good news you may have missed.

This week’s “Just the Tip” segment breaks down how to protest safely, what your constitutional rights are (according to the ACLU), and how to prepare if you’re attending a march. We discuss police dispersal orders, recording your rights, what to bring, and how to protect yourself if exposed to tear gas.

In Current Events, we unpack:

• Political chaos making headlines

• JD Vance getting booed at the Olympics

• The SAVE Act passing

• Cultural conversations sparked by Bad Bunny’s historic halftime performance

• Attempts to remove LGBTQ+ visibility from historic spaces

• A powerful Underground Railroad discovery in Manhattan

• Colorado’s new comprehensive Black history education law

• Why the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl win actually mattered beyond football

Plus, we share life updates, upcoming shows, and how you can support us on Patreon.

It’s news, culture, community, and conversation — the way only Fefe & Freddy can deliver it.

This week on Live! with Fefe & Freddy, Freddy flies solo for a candid, unfiltered Wednesday night conversation. With Felicia out for work, Freddy takes listeners through a relaxed check-in that quickly turns into a deeply personal and politically charged episode.

Freddy shares stories from a surprisingly quiet weekend, including an unintentionally over-sedated date night, solo kitchen adventures involving limoncello, lemonade, and an overwhelming number of backyard lemons, and family time in Arizona. The tone shifts as Freddy moves into a powerful “Just the Tip” segment that addresses current political violence, ICE raids, protests, and the growing pressure people feel to perform activism online.

The episode wraps with headlines and commentary on TikTok’s U.S. sale and censorship concerns, Oscar nominations and voting rule changes, and real-time community responses to ICE raids in Arizona. Freddy emphasizes nuance, safety, and sustainability in resistance — reminding listeners that showing up looks different for everyone.
