Well hello, hello, hello! This week I've got company, as makeup enthusiast and fellow Drag Race lover Tyra from @100paletteslater joins me as we talk about the closest thing the gays have to our own Olympics - RuPaul's Drag Race, both the recently wrapped UK season and current US season. 

If you want to hear me Try My Best to theorise RuPaul's vision of British drag or hear both of our picks for future All Stars seasons, you're in luck! We also talk about how this most recent US season has been a bit of a slog to get through, and why Tyra has deemed it as the worst season of the show. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and our lively discussion on Drag Race. Please keep things respectful and do NOT send hate to any of the queens - the talent is what makes this show so special.

SEASON 2 HAS ARRIVED! You might have noticed the brand new artwork - mind the wet paint. Today I'll be Trying My Best to rummage through years of doll-related lore, particularly regarding past doll lines I've loved and... lost. That sounds awfully dramatic. But if you wanna hear about Monster High copycats, Disney's failure to support a blossoming series, or doll cultural appropriation, you're in for a treat!

Season finale time! This week I'll be Trying My Best to play music critic and talk about my favourite albums and songs from 2020 - the shitty year with the fabulous soundtrack. I've made some great artist discoveries this year and found some new favourites that have made 2020 that little bit less unfortunate, including fabulous throwbacks, incredible insight and a LOT of disco. Trust me. 

If you want to listen to any of the songs, albums or artists I've recommended in this episode, feel free! I'd love to see y'all discover some new favourites just like I did.

For now, I'll see you in a month or two for a very exciting Season 2 premiere... wink wink ;)

Hello! This week (one day late but it still counts) I'll be Trying My Best to get through the sea of new announcements from the recent Disney Investor Day. We're talking Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Star Wars, plus Hulu, FX, National Geographic and whatever else is happening within that terrifying corporation. Expect some rants, some hype, some concern and a lot of stuff getting put on Disney+ in the next few years. 

also I forgot to mention about the Lizzie McGuire remake getting cancelled :(

Twas inevitable.

This week I'll be Trying My Best to talk about that one big thing that's been happening this year. In one way or another, we've all been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic - not all equally - so I thought now would be a good time to talk through my experiences and thoughts on how things have been handled. I have a zero-tolerance policy for insensitive conspiracies surrounding COVID; I go by the facts and guidelines set by the NHS and CDC, and I'd advise that you do the same. Wash your hands, keep your distance and wear a mask (over your nose AND mouth!).

Hello hello hello! This week's episode is all about Disney's Descendants series, and my efforts in Trying My Best to understand it. There's a lot of awesome thing about this series and I want to get into the stuff that makes this series great. However, there are some... contrivances, and it's only fair that I get into those too. That includes hip-hop acapella covers, talking dogs and terrible security. Enjoy!

Please take a look at The Cameron Boyce Foundation - it's an exceptional cause that continues the great philanthropy that Cameron was so passionate about. Learn more about the foundation on its website:

Hello! Last week I took a break, but this week I'll be Trying My Best to explain some of the Twitter threads I've posted over the past year. None of these individual tweets or threads were substantial enough for their own episodes, so I decided to bundle them together in this one! Enjoy my thoughts on Quibi, the prospect of more Cats style film adaptations and the state of animated teaser posters. Weird subjects, but that's what my Twitter is made for - so enjoy!
