10 min - Minisode: Rupaul's Drag Race Season 12, Episode 3
"World's Worst"… possibly. The winner? We're not saying.
In fact, we'll be trying not to say the name of She-who-shall-not-be-named, for the season. We weren't sad to see the eliminated girl sashay away, either.
Who was judging this week? There was Michelle, Ross and Carson. Oh and the brilliant Charo! And there was Vivacious. Wasn't there someone else? Wait, wait, let us try to remember. Oh yeah, Olivia Munn. Meh.
20 min - Handling Social Distancing and the Coronavirus
Like most everyone else concerned with limiting the spread of the coronavirus, Troy and Rick are adjusting to living with social distancing. That means relying on the Internet, news and social media to make sense of what's going on. Troy wonders how the pandemic will impact his research. In the meantime, Relevant Queer continues to give some much needed hope and inspiration.

The Relevant Queer
55 min - Minisode: RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12, Episode 2Controversy! Drag is all about crushing boundaries, but one contestant has obviously crossed the line. Now we're forced to choose. Either to tolerate her throughout the season or ignore the hard work the other girls have put into the competition. Congrats to Jaiden Essence Hall to taking the night. We’re also loving Rock M. Sakura and Aiden Zhane. So nice to have Ross Matthews back! We’re feeling a bit sorry for Robyn and Thandie Newton, though. As good as they were, Nicki Minaj is an impossible act to follow.20 min

57 min - Minisode: RuPaul's Drag Race is Back! Season 12, Episode 1Ru’s back with Drag Race Season 12! Troy and Rick talk about Nicki Minaj who, lets just say it, slayed. Michelle and Carson held their own as members of the royal court. Who was Queen of the night? Was it politically-engaged RuPaul, fresh, reenergized? Widow Von’Du? What about Nicky Doll and Heidi N Closet?20 min

59 min - Fashion as a Practice?
In their first podcast of 2020, Troy and Rick talk about Greta Gerwig and Little Women (What? No nomination for Best Director?), Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit, and seeing Bianca del Rio in Everybody's Talking about Jamie. In upcoming episodes, Troy and Rick hope to talk about Madonna's Madame X now that they've seen the show twice, and the movie Joker, after Todd Phillips's Q&A at Odeon Leicester Square.
Troy describes the PhD confirmation process for his research project, and his recent presentation on his ontological investigation of fashion in social media. This leads the discussion into studying fashion as a practice. What does practicing fashion mean? Who does it? Why? Troy suggests that understanding fashion as a practice emphasises fashion's relation to the body and our social worlds.
