For our third and final episode of Feartowne this year, we’re sitting down with a Good Judy who’s also queering Austin’s podcast scene: the one and only Ayden Castellanos (he/they).

Ayden is the host and creator of Susto, a popular ooky spooky podcast centered on paranormal folklore from Latin American & Hispanic cultures - which you should check out after you finish listening to our decidedly giggly conversation together. We dished on the hottest scary movie villains (Hi Michael), theorized on why horror is so popular in the Latin community, and maybe schmaybe interacted with Walter Mercado herself. All of this, and more, await you in our Feartowne finale.

In this episode of Queertowne, Kristen surprised us mid-recording with not one but two shocking revelations. The first was that this episode would come out on her actual birthday - HBD K WASH - but you'll have to listen to the full episode to see what else was spilled.

The episode you've been waiting for! Brigitte Bandit, the popular drag queen and inspirational political activist based in Austin, returns to Queertowne five years after performing in our last Halloween show before Covid. During our sit down conversation, Brigitte opens up about her extremely low key and not at all newsworthy journey these past few years. (Spoiler Alert: she's kind of a big deal these days.)

We also get into Brigitte's creative process, how her identity as a nonbinary AFAB queen influences her approach to performance and activism, and why she thrives within Austin's dynamic drag scene. And we of course had to wrap things up with a silly round of Queertowne Quiz Time, so make sure to stick around for the whole thing.

This episode was recorded at the one and only Cheer Up Charlies in Downtown Austin. Thanks Maggie!
