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.

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.

This week on Live! with Fefe & Freddy, we welcomed back multi-talented artist Brandon McGill for a thoughtful and honest conversation about creativity, connection, and finding peace. We caught up on Brandon’s latest projects, creative goals, and what kind of work feels most meaningful to them right now.

In Just the Tip, we took a deeper look at relationship fluidity in platonic relationships. We talked about how friendships change over time, how some relationships grow closer while others fade, and why the loss of a friendship can hurt just as much — or more — than a romantic breakup. The conversation centered on chosen family, emotional honesty, and permitting ourselves to grieve evolving connections.

This episode blends personal stories, creative reflection, and community conversation, offering space to think about how we show up for ourselves and each other.
