USA Turday on Madge

One singular podcast — the Madge Weinstein show — is representative of the type of over-the-top content that would never see the light of day at a mainstream media outlet. But it is among the 50 most-subscribed-to podcasts. Since last November, Richard Bluestein, a 37-year-old Chicago hospital-database programmer, has produced more than 75 podcasts in which he assumes the persona of an angry drag queen. Bluestein uses extreme vulgarity to express his views on society’s ills.

“I’m podcasting because I want Americans to relearn compassion and realize that all humans are worth exactly the same,” Bluestein says. “Oh, and I also want to become a famous pop star.” Bluestein says his podcasts regularly draw about 4,500 listeners.
