  Brian J. Smith on Fire Island, Hollywood & His New Film A House Is Not a Disco

  Jul 30, 202649 minS1

  We made it! It’s our Season Finale of Trigger Warning, and I’m closing it out with Daniel LIVE from the Ice Palace in Fire Island — so yes, it’s chaotic from the jump. We get into sobriety updates, NYC nightlife nonsense, the ally T‑shirt “transition” misunderstanding, and some very unserious underwear‑party behavior before things get unexpectedly deep. Then the super talented and adorable Brian J. Smith ( Sense8 , The Matrix Resurrections ) and powerhouse agent Bill Veloric join us to talk Hollywood typecasting, Juilliard showcase politics, and how agents actually build sustainable careers in this industry. We dive into Brian’s directorial debut documentary, A House Is Not a Disco , all about Fire Island Pines, queer history, and what happens when iconic LGBTQ spaces evolve (or implode). We also get real about indie film distribution, controlling your own revenue, and why the film is streaming on GATHR (no “E”) https://gathr.com/vod/69affd7f/a-house-is-not-a-disco.

  Inside Berlin Nightlife: Berghain, Boris & the Ice Palace Takeover

  Jul 22, 202623 minS1

  So technically… this episode should have come before LAST WEEK’S episode, but in true Trigger Warning fashion, we got it completely reversed. (Well, “Josh, fix it in post did”) Did we record things out of order? Yes. Did we realize it after the fact? Also yes. Are we pretending it was conceptual? Absolutely. Consider this the pregame to the chaos you already heard. Berlin is taking over the Ice Palace — and I have thoughts. In this episode, Daniel and I dive into Berlin nightlife, Berghain lore, NYC vs. Berlin energy, and why Berlin club culture just hits differently. We’re talking sweaty dance floors, zero‑frills promotion, biking through morning petrichor like a European philosopher, and the full debauchery of the legendary Pferdemarkt party. I share my Berlin memories, the cultural rituals, and why Berghain’s size and infamous door policy aren’t about exclusivity — they’re about preservation. Daniel breaks down the origin story of Berghain from the Ostgut days, why Boris is playing the Ice Palace tonight, and how his friendship with Boris (and longtime Berghain doorman Misha) ties back to queer nightlife history. Naturally, we spiral into Berlin biking culture, flâneur energy, AppleCare disasters, renter’s insurance drama (shoutout Lemonade), hallway furniture politics, and the reality of accidental adulting. If you’ve ever debated Berlin vs. NYC nightlife, wondered what makes Berghain iconic, or just enjoy cultural chaos before a dance floor takeover — this one’s for you. Berlin. Bikes. Boris. And apparently… backwards episode sequencing. @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

  Berghain’s Infamous Doorman & Photographer Lands on Fire Island

  Jul 16, 202630 minS1

  Daniel left me alone this week, which means things got… I’m flying solo! I sat down with my friend Mischa Fanghaenel — Berlin photographer, longtime Berghain doorman, (yes. That Berghain) and a man who has seen it all. And right now? He’s in town doing an exhibition on Fire Island, bringing a little Berlin edge to the Ice Palace. We talk about his portrait series “Nachts,” where he photographed over 200 Berghain regulars — the leather, the latex, the tenderness, the queerness, the humanity. Not the myths. Not the TikTok version. The real people who make the dance floor sacred. We get into: What actually happens behind the world’s most intimidating door Why 30‑hour techno parties feel like therapy (and sometimes religion) How Berlin nightlife became globally fetishized Growing up between Moscow and East Berlin Raising kids after years of living inside the world’s most notorious club And yes — we talk about Fire Island energy versus Berlin energy. Different flavors. Same freedom. We also touch on his next photography project exploring Germany’s multicultural identity at a politically tense time — because even in harnesses and strobe lights, politics is never far away. It’s sexy. It’s thoughtful. It’s a little shady. And honestly? I think hosting alone suits me, don’t you?? @triggerwaringnyc @redeye_ny @pridehousemedia Write to us at: Questions@TriggerWarningPod.com

  Live from Ice Palace Cherry Grove: Pride with Ultra Naté & Inaya Day

  Jun 25, 202643 minS1

  Happy Pride, queens, This week Adam and I took Trigger Warning live to the legendary Ice Palace in Fire Island and brought true icons with us — Ultra Naté, Inaya Day. We get into the real roots of house music in gay underground clubs, how LGBTQIA+ culture built the dance floor, and why Pride without house just feels… wrong. Inaya tells the full story of how “Keep Pushing” blew up — from hearing her own demo on New York radio to making sure the paperwork (!!!) was right so she actually got paid. Because we love a hit, but we love a contract more. AND Ulta spills the tea on how she got her name! We also talk: The legacy of house music and queer nightlife Ice Palace history and Fire Island chaos The streaming era vs the golden age of club culture Beyoncé’s house moment (we had thoughts) Plus we tease a new Mexico venue called Temple that may or may not become your next dance pilgrimage. It’s Pride. It’s messy. It’s house music history. And it’s very us. #TriggerWarningPodcast #IcePalace #CherryGrove #FireIsland #UltraNate #InayaDay #HouseMusic #LGBTQIA #Pride #GayClubs #DanceMusic #QueerCulture #Studio54 Interested in Casa Oasis in Zipolite?
