This week’s episode unpacks the curse of "appointment only" shopping and Fire Island drag excellence … and the other kind of drag we’ve all politely clapped for. We break down the horrors of no follow spots at the gig, matching costumes in drag, and what it means to really have the urge to perform, whether you're turning it or just turning up.

If you’ve ever been denied entry at a Designer boutique door and spiritually nourished by a busted queen —this one’s for you.

We’ve partnered with Virgin Hotels to create a special Pride cocktail menu available at select locations all summer long! A portion of proceeds from every drink goes directly to Trans Lifeline, a peer-led organization offering life-saving support. virginhotels.com/pride
