Extra Extra - Episode 26

Welcome, curious listener, to the sultry and surreal Episode 26 of Extra Extra Radio. This time, your favorite auditory haven is taking you somewhere forbidden, decadent, and oh-so-delicious: The Bathhouse. Yes, that Bathhouse. A place where time melts like beeswax, where lust and lunch coalesce, and where your deepest yearnings are bathed in gold-tiled splendor.

Guided by Michael, your host and metaphorical Turkish cotton bathrobe dipped in honey, we’ll peel back the steamy curtain on this legendary space. Think Atlantis meets Studio 54—if it were designed by a fever dream of Nobel laureates, secret agents, and the occasional hippo. From labyrinthine pools shaped like fallopian tubes to microclimates tailored for every whim.

You’ll hear from its enigmatic patrons, who describe sensory worlds where feathers caress, beeswax drips, and baked beans whisper existential truths. This episode is a journey into the heart of indulgence, where power hierarchies are ruled by “sultanas” (not the raisins, but close) and the boundary between fantasy and reality dissolves into the steam.

So, slip into something sheer—preferably ultra-absorbent—and join us. The Bathhouse is calling, and it’s wetter, wilder, and more wondrous than you ever imagined.

The show is written and performed by Dan Fox and Michael Portnoy in close collaboration with Loes Verstappen who selected the music, and Monte Masi. Voice acting by Thomas Dudkiewicz, Michael Portnoy, Loveday Smith and Kathleen Taylor. Editing and sound design by Tobias Withers. Artwork by Antoine Marchalot.
