Dragging it Down Under episodes
- Last Spill Before a Break!
Hello hello hello 🎉 This will be our last episode for a little while, so you know we had to go out with a bang!
This week, we’re spilling ALL the tea on drag news from Australia and beyond. Vollie La Vont has us talking about hens parties and drag queen etiquette (let’s set some ground rules, people!), while Bianca Del Rio is taking over Aussie media with high-profile press spots on TV, The Project, and podcasts—an absolute top-tier queen move.
Laurence Chaney is off to Downing Street (what?!), and Bimini gets real about addiction in a powerful conversation. Plus, we’re diving into the latest Drag Race drama—episodes 4 & 5, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the tea Susie spilled at Roscoe’s. 👀 Oh, and is All Stars: Down Under secretly filming?! We’re speculating hard.
To top it all off, we’ll let you know where to catch some fabulous drag shows near you across Australia.
If you’re loving what’s going in your ear holes, don’t forget to rate us 5 stars on Spotify ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (seriously, we’re trying to crack 15 ratings!).

ENJOY! 💖

P.s If you are in Australia (or not and want to know how US politics is seeping it's tentacles on a global level), the Protect Trans Youth National Day of Action is happening today (Feb 8th) across the country. This is a call to the Queensland government to overturn its ban on hormone therapy for trans young people, and call on them to make gender-affirming care accessible and affordable for everyone who needs it.
If you missed out on the rally, that's OK, but please do follow the account on socials, here. As well as the Trans Justice Project here.Trans rights are human rights!!! 🏳️⚧️
