This episode, we're so excited to be joined by the legend, Eliza Clark! The Boy Parts author will be telling us all about their love of Drag Race. Taking an adoring yet critical look at the TV franchise, Eliza will be chatting to us about why we should look beyond the US and UK versions and give the international iterations a chance. We'll also be discussing the shows handling of gender, class, and whether its time Ru let another queen take the top judging spot. Ione, Olivia, and Eliza will also be chatting about the commercialisation of drag following the infamous H&M comments in UKDR season two, whether being polished is all it takes to be a good queen, and how the international versions arguably allow more space for creativity.

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.
