<br /> Episode Summary<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In this raw and rumbling return, Madge gives you a microphone check from beyond the grave, welcomes Bissy the AI co-host who talks too much, and somehow makes a sincere tribute to dead podcasters while detailing one of the most dramatic dumps in Yeast Radio history. There’s talk of chia, plungers, haunted turds, Simply Sara, haunted turds, necrophilia, blocked queens, and haunted turds. Did we mention haunted turds? Oh, and don’t worry — Bissy raps.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Highlights from “The Circle Game of Doody”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Political Snark: Madge references Trump being president again and expresses frustration with the public’s complicity. This is touched on both seriously and with biting sarcasm.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * TikTok Obsession: Ongoing discussion of how TikTok has replaced podcasting as Madge’s main creative outlet — mentions of high-performing videos and content about bowel movements.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * AI Co-Host Drama: Bissy, the AI sidekick, struggles to keep up with Madge’s vulgarity and gets scolded repeatedly for being too prudish or literal.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Gastrointestinal Focus: Besides the epic bowel movement story, Madge explores earlier turd memories, fart analysis, plunger technique, and chia’s bowel-altering power.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Death and Memorials: This episode is framed by death — with the passing of Simply Sara, Archer, and Ramble Redhead being lovingly (and clumsily) honored.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Forbidden Pizza: The eternal struggle of food, shame, and timing. Madge considers sneaking pizza while her spouse is away at a Lady Bunny concert.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Theatrical Interludes: Madge breaks into dramatic musical moments, featuring lyrics from Evita, Cabaret, Yentl, and The Sound of Silence.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Listener Callbacks & Archives: She attempts (and mostly fails) to dig up archival clips of old podcast friends, showcasing the ephemerality of early internet media.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Fiber & Diet Culture Satire: Chia pudding, Fiber One trauma, and Madge’s spouse’s insistence on “breaking turds with your pussy” — all part of a deep dive into food, shame, and queer domestic life.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Contact Information<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Comments: Visit <a href="https://yeastradio.com/">yeastradio.com</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Follow Madge: Instagram, Bluesky, and Threads — @madgeweinstein<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Phone: FIRM UTERUS<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Support Yeast Radio: Subscribe to Madge’s Substack — <a href="https://madge.substack.com/">madge.substack.com</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Album Art: by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fagg3rty/">Taylor Haggerty</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * © 2025 Madge Weinstein Yeast Radio<br /> <br />
