Update by Katy the Intern!
Let me start off this entry by saying I have a serious (no pun intended) case of the blues since my graduation from my internship with Derek and Romaine is less than a month away =(
In any case, we've had an exciting few weeks back at the studio after R Family Vacations. While we've all been missing Hedda Lettuce who has been a phoner these past few Wednesdays because she has had a slew of comedy shows on the Hudson, we've still been graced by many exciting guests.
Here's a recap of last weeks guests!
- Mara Keisling of the National Center for Transgender Equality
-Ron Miller of Village Lighthouse, Inc
-Josh Berman, creator of Drop Dead Diva
-Tamie Adaya, of Shangri-La Hotel in Santa Monica
-Noah Levy of In Touch Weekly (We had a super juicy Tabloid Tuesday this passed week between the passing of Amy Winehouse and learning that a crazy fan once left a baby on Dolly Parton's doorstep!)
-Ed Salvato (Travel expert)
-Patrick and Michael from A Note to My Kid (Very touching segment)
-Brian Gianelli from XFinityTV
And this week, we'll be joined by Zachary Barnett with the Abzyme Research Foundation, Christopher Heywood for NYC Tourism, Jeremy Blacklow, and Steve Hayes Tired Old Queen at the Movies upon many other exciting people!
Additionally, I'm proud to say I am finally working on a promo!! I'm hoping that by the last week of my internship I'll be able to bang out a promo in minutes just like Katie! I've had a few faux pas on the board (Whoops, sorry guys =/) and I definitely need to work on that, but otherwise, I am so proud of a lot of the work I have been doing here. I love being able to be creative and do fun and exciting research for Derek and Romaine and I love being given new tasks because it makes me feel trusted and responsible.
I can't wait for you guys to hear my promos (right now I have only done one, but I will make it a mission to complete several more before my internship is over) and I truly am going to miss being here on the show with everyone =)
Until next time,
Katy the intern

Gay Cinema 101: Ten Movies You Can't Miss
In honor of Derek's book Colonnade: A Life In Columns
(a collection of his FantasyMan Island columns along with his own recollections of his first two years in Manhattan) now being available for the Kindle, we thought it would be a good time to check out some of the other columns he wrote around that time.
A few months after the start of Derek and Romaine on Sirius Radio back in 2003, Derek wrote the following column recommending essential movies for gay men to see. Since it often comes up with Steve Hayes, Tired Old Queen at the Movies, or Hedda Lettuce join the show, his essential list is reprinted here.
Gay Cinema 101: Ten Movies You Can't Miss
August 15, 2003 - There is a newly out intern down at my Sirius radio show. At my recent summer party (A Midsummer's Day's Debauchery!), some of my guests were shocked to discover that Bobby Intern, as we call him, hadn't seen the recent Oscar winner and instant gay classic, Chicago
.
Longtime FantasyMan Island reader Paul suggested that I create a list of the 10 essential movies that all gay people must see in order to graduate into full-fledged homosexuality. I couldn't bring myself to list just 10, and I am certain that you have additional suggestions. Feel free to send them along. However, I think this list should cover it for most people. So, without further ado: Bobby Intern (and all you other boys out there just like him), this column is just for you.

Happy Summer Bitches!! (update from intern Chanel)
Hello everyone! Yes, it's been awhile since I've last posted (last semester, actually). Forgive my lateness as I've been super-duper busy working here at the Derek and Romaine Show. What a difference one semester can make! I started off screening phone calls, and now I am running the boards during the show! 
I'm starting to have separation anxiety because I only have 4 more weeks left with DnR! (sniffles)... Nonetheless, this summer has been awesome. One of the highlights for me, was celebrating the passing of the gay marriage bill with Derek and Romaine. Everyone screamed and shouted in the studio when we watched with anticipation, the votes being tallied. A very exciting but rather emotional experience. New York City has always been the city to set the standards for the rest of the world. What a wonderful feeling to be accepted for who you are... I've learned so much about myself through a gay person's eyes.
Another highlight of the show (and my summer) is DnR listener, "Stanton." I adore Stanton. There is something so genuine about his personality. He's like the one aunt that loves you to death, but will put you in check if you ever get caught slipping! (It's all love, thank you Aunty Stanton). Since Stanton loved my last model picture I put up last semester, I thought I'd post another one for the summer, just for him! (Eat your heart out Stanton)
So here's to the last 4 weeks on the Derek and Romaine show. I'm gonna cram in as much experience as I can and make it all memorable! Have a great summer everyone (-;
