The podcast is present. Throw on your best Yohji dress, we're going to the opening for Slavic seductress, mistress of MoMA, and iconic performance artist—Marina Abramović—and her durational memoir, "Walk Through Walls." From growing up under the communist regime of Tito's Yugoslavia to becoming the Queen Bee of the contemporary art world, living with the Aborigines, getting poisoned with pulverized diamonds, beaten by your own mother for sleeping messily, a rigorous discussion of art-as-self-expression, fasting, Lady Gaga, and how to be happy—this breathtaking act of conceptual audio is going straight into the Whitney's permanent collection.

I’m Gay! Head to Orlando and frost your tips as we dive into former *NSYNC member Lance Bass’s bestselling memoir, Out of Sync. We discuss his rise to fame in the Mississippi state fair circuit, breaking away from famously abusive manager Lou Pearlman, the faux Backstreet rivalry, coming out to Reba’s head of PR, his nonexistent relationship with Justin Timberlake, dating OG gay celeb Reichen Lehmkuhl, and being so closeted he literally wanted to launch himself into space. Bye Bye Bye we do NOT want this memoir back!

Icons only! EGOT winner and The View's current warden Whoopi Goldberg finally makes her CBC debut with a deeply random book of advice "If Someone Says "You Complete Me," RUN!: Whoopi's Big Book of Relationships." From almost getting married to Ted Danson to actually getting married to three other guys, possibly being asexual, definitely being a lesbian icon, her attraction to Minions, obsession with farting, and how we all define intimacy, there's a big cache of critical romance data to unpack—and a whole lot of whoopee to be made.
