Squirrel Talk!

It’s STEVIE PHOENIX on the Camp Wannakiki Rest Stop! This incredible king is the reigning monarch of the Toledo area and just is so incredible and worth knowing about if you don’t.

We talk about pride and community, horrible eye infections, and apples and oranges (truly a traumatic fruit event!)

In this episode we get to chat with the indomitable RIP EM hailing from Calgary, Alberta! Most importantly, Rip is the 2nd Canadian to ever be on Camp Wannakiki (after Hillary), so it’s like a worlds collide situation!

We talk about being Canadian, trans and non binary identity as a drag performer in Canada, and the quality level of Shawarma in Ottawa.

HOLY COW its a double elimination on Camp Wannakiki Season 6! Totally unexpected, totally wild but… totally now we get to chat with two incredible performers on Squirrel Talk’s CAMP WANNAKIKI REST STOP.

First up we have IVANNA PEESSA of Baltimore, MA – the campy, massively bearded crafty queen who brought bed bath and beyond and about a metric tonne of craft supplies to the talent show stage EVERY TIME. We talk about beards, mixing the old with the new and how to wear a 10 pound headpiece.

After the break, we chat with YOU’NEEK NU’YORK from Richmond, Virginia – you heard that right, this queen is already messing with you from the NAME onwards! They are one of the funniest and most delightful personalities to have ever come to Camp Wannakiki, plus pretty and even pretty good at rapping! We talk about calling Ruthie a c**t, eating poop, and the value in being stupid and entertaining above all else!

The second of our CAMP WANNAKIKI REST STOP podcasts is with HANNA BARBEARA the psychedelic camp drag performer who mixes theme park mascots with zany drag! Hanna is adored by all and totally worth getting to know more about!

We talk about the fan appreciation, mental health struggles, and how her favourite drag performer is my eternal rival COLESLAW! (*gasp*)

PLUS, a special uncredited guest spot from my husband to thank Hanna for her “gift” – find out what on this episode of SQUIRREL TALK!

Part of our new series we are interviewing all of the latest hikers from S6 of Camp Wannakiki in what we call… THE CAMP WANNAKIKI REST STOP! (cuz ya know, hiking!)

This week our hiker is the gorgeous AMBER VANDERBILT of Houston, Texas! A hilarious, curvy and talented broad and daughter of proud mom MUFFY VANDERBILT III (Season 5 of Camp Wannakiki), we were so surprised to see them sent hiking first but as always…. she had to be iconic!

Come chat with Amber about camp, running herself over with her own car, and the health benefits of taking a break!

Well, here it is everyone…. two hundred episodes! Looking back this seems like a lot. And also, not much at all!

We taped this live at the Toronto Soundwave Summit in from of a live audience and got to hang out with some other cool podcasters. It made us feel so cool! But also, like, fishy. Cuz it’s pride right? So…. um? But we’ll take it.

Selena and Hillary talk about what this pod has been, where we wanna go with it, and also come up with a whole new improvised song to end the show. It was live. So drag. Anyways, thank you for supporting, listening, and being with us through over 7 years and 200 episodes of Squirrel Talk!

Oh hey everybody! Squirrel Talk once again was asked to grace the stage and present their crazy improv podcast the FANFIC WE JUST WROTE JUST NOW at the Toronto ComicCon, and that recording is what we have for you today!

Be prepared for a journey through nonsense and fandom, involving a time travelling Dr Who, Mario, and various characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer as they make their way from the Bronze to an Airplane in Brampton.

May we present to you WHO’S WHO DR WHO! (or at least I think that was the title…).

And can you believe??? Episode 200 is next? What will we doooooo???

Like always the gals talk a bit about drag race and mostly about their lives!

This time they talk about doing drag while living life. How is this possible? Can you have a life? Do you have to hustle? Does Priyanka know who she is anymore?

We also answer the question about why Selena has seen Madonna THREE times in the last six months!

Also, thanks to Mrs Fiercealiciouseseses for shouting us out as the comedians behind her comedy and paying us the average wage of a comedian (nothing!) (j.k. love you baby!)

Happy New Years! The gals talk the state of drag in 2024! What were our challenges and successes in 2023! Drag daughters anyone? How about leaving the country!?

We also talk thoughts on Canada’s Drag Race Season 4 & the first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 (ie USA Drag Race lol) (Do we have to specify that now!?)

Look. We set that bar really high last week doing a LIVE pod at Fan Expo – that was a high point the recent pod, so okay everyone we are setting the bar a little lower and getting back in touch with our pond scum level selves.

We talk drag race franchises, we talk politics and unions and the end of things and campfire nostalgia and improv shows, the days before smart phone and T9! ASMR second half included!

Come listen to us chat, and slide into our DMs with your thoughts! @squirreltalkpodcast
