Joel Kim Booster and Matt Rogers bring a queer twist to two beloved Jane Austen characters in the upcoming romantic comedy “Fire Island” set for release in 2022. In a new documentary podcast called “Finding Fire Island,” the duo shares their own wild and sometimes misadventurous experiences at this iconic LGBTQ+ beach destination in New York. The podcast episode titled “Tea” gives a glimpse into Fire Island’s famous “Tea Dance,” a gathering for queer men that emerged in the 1960s as an alternative to Manhattan. Booster and Rogers share stories of witnessing outrageous events on the island, including a massive orgy and public sex acts, all under the liberating influence of Fire Island. The podcast, produced by the Broadway Podcast Network and hosted by journalist Jess Rothschild, aims to portray the history and present rituals of Fire Island from a woman’s perspective. Rothschild challenges misconceptions about the town, emphasizing its diverse population and efforts to create an inclusive space for people of color, women, and trans individuals. Future episodes will explore the annual “Invasion of the Pines,” residents who call Fire Island home year-round, and iconic visits by Madonna and Liza Minnelli. The podcast aims to highlight that the same social, racial, and political issues seen in the wider world also exist in these microcosmic gay communities.
