SPARKLE & CIRCULATE with JUSTIN SAYRE - the official monthly podcast of the International Order of Sodomites - has posted its new episode, which features an interview with author Michael Schulman who discusses his new book "Her Again: Becoming Meryl Streep." He also talks about his work in The New York Times and "You Like Me," the annual evening of acceptance speeches he co-produces in New York. Also, Justin muses on gays and their favorite iconic divas. The show is available on iTunes here.

SPARKLE & CIRCULATE is the online counterpart to The Meeting* hosted by Justin Sayre, the acclaimed New York comedy/variety show. In addition to catching up the I.O.S. membership on news of the day, on the podcast Justin interviews performers, writers and other creative minds of our community. Previous episodes - featuring interviews with Randy Harrison, Nellie McKay, Justin Vivian Bond, Michael Musto, Frank DeCaro, Jeffery Self, R&B legend Sarah Dash and more - are also available. SPARKLE & CIRCULATE is produced by Dan Fortune and Tyrus Emory.

The Meeting* will return to JOE'S PUB at The Public Theater on Sunday, April 17 at 9:30 PM for the tribute to Barbra Streisand. The Meeting* has been called "delicious and delightfully droll" by The New York Post and "hilarious and sardonic" by The Village Voice. A story for Slate.com called the evening "so deliciously icy that it left me shivering with fear and delight." The 2014-15 season sold out after a New York Times "Arts & Leisure" story. Tracy Stark serves as the show's Music Director with special guests. The show, which enjoyed a successful run at the Broadway nightclub 54 Below, made its Los Angeles debut at the Bootleg Theater last year and recently returned to the venue for an encore show. "The Gay Agenda" - the debut comedy album from Justin Sayre and The Meeting*- will be available this season.

Night of a Thousand Judys - the special all-star concert presentation of The Meeting* to benefit the Ali Forney Center - will return for its sixth annual installment on June 6, 2016. The first five sold-out annual concerts featured the talents as R&B legends Martha Wash and Sarah Dash; jazz vocalists Madeleine Peyroux, Jane Monheit and Jessica Molaskey & John Pizzarelli; singer/songwriters Nellie McKay and Erin McKeown; Broadway ladies Carolee Carmello, Jackie Hoffman, Tonya Pinkins and leading men Howard McGillin, Telly Leung, Rory O'Malley and Daniel Reichard; downtown stars Justin Vivian Bond, Bridget Everett and Lady Rizo; nightlife fixtures Karen Mason, Maude Maggart and Karen Akers; and New York personalities Michael Musto, Austin Scarlett and Frank DeCaro, among many others.
