Drag legend, lip sync assassin and self-described delusional star — Aja joins Tia Kofi on this episode of The Final FronTia!

A fan favourite from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9, All Stars 3 and All Stars 10, Aja has built a reputation as one of the most electric performers in drag - known for her fierce lip sync ability, burlesque background, and unfiltered honesty. With nearly 20 years of drag experience under her belt and a burlesque comeback in the works, she's entering what she calls her most confident era yet.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Aja dive deep into what it really takes to build a career after Drag Race — the handicaps built into the system, the queens who coast versus those who connect the dots, and the things that matter most when you step back into the werkroom.

There's plenty of candid reflection on all three of Aja's Drag Race experiences: what she wishes she'd done differently, why she believes she was never truly at her best on the show, and a very frank breakdown of the All Stars 3 Warhol ball - including exactly who she thinks should have been in the bottom and what she really thought of those soup cans!

Along the way, the conversation takes in the art of the lip sync, the "dance monkey dance" phenomenon plaguing modern drag performance, old Tumblr poetry, and a Pokémon quiz that Aja takes extremely seriously - because she came prepared...

Drag artist, animator and self-described "awkward little gremlin from South Shields" — Sally Trademark joins Tia Kofi on this episode of The Final FronTia!

A fan favourite from RuPaul's Drag Race UK, Sally won hearts with her deadpan charm, visually striking drag and refreshingly unfiltered honesty. Since the show, she's kept busy producing theatre — including the acclaimed comedy show Sugar Daddy, featuring Alan Cumming and Billy Porter — and is preparing to hit the road as part of the Season 7 group tour.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Sally reflect on life after Drag Race: the pressure to capitalise on the platform, the importance of using it authentically and how to stay grounded when the internet has very loud opinions about everything you do.

There's plenty of candid chat about the Drag Race experience itself — from the overwhelming sensory assault of walking into the werkroom for the first time, to the unique intensity of the versus the world fandom. Would Sally ever go back? She answers on this episode!

Along the way, the conversation takes in true crime documentaries, Pokémon, America's Next Top Model deep dives and a chaotic game of Guess The Brand — in which neither host nor guest covers themselves in glory.

We've hit a milestone moment on The Final FronTia as we celebrate 100 Episodes! And there's only one person who could join Tia Kofi to help her celebrate... it's Charlie Craggs!

Trans activist, writer, TV personality and 'friend of the show', Charlie Craggs has become a beloved figure in British queer culture — known for her wit, warmth, and willingness to say exactly what everyone else is thinking.

On this extra special 100th episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Charlie take a joyful, chaotic trip down memory lane — recalling as many past guests as they can while editor Richard cuts in iconic clips from across the podcast's history. From Jimbo to Juno Dawson, the pair celebrate the incredible range of guests the show has welcomed over its run.

There's plenty more besides the retrospective, including chatter about RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 crowning predictions, the trials of standing in towering heels on the Drag Race runway, and Charlie's behind-the-scenes stories from her Doctor Who appearance — including a very handsome co-star she may or may not have attempted to impress with her follower count.

Along the way, the conversation veers into dream casting a UK version of Drag Race's judging panel, a pitch for a Tracy Beaker reunion concept, and plenty of mutual appreciation between a host and her most frequent guest. Here's to 100 more!

Drag icon, clown prince of chaos and Drag Race fan favourite Crystal is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!

Best known for their unforgettable run on the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, Crystal quickly became a standout for their surreal aesthetic, offbeat humour and refusal to play by anyone else’s rules. Since the show, they’ve carved out a truly unique space in the drag world — one that blends comedy, art, absurdity and a healthy dose of delightful nonsense.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Crystal dive into the world of alternative drag: what it means to be “weird” in an industry that often rewards polish, and why leaning into the strange can be your biggest strength. They talk about creativity, character work, and the joy of building a drag persona that doesn’t quite make sense... but somehow works perfectly.

There’s also chat about life after Drag Race, audience expectations, and how to stay authentic when people think they already know who you are. Crystal reflects on not taking yourself too seriously!

Along the way, the conversation veers into comedy influences, the process behind creating memorable looks and characters, and the fine line between chaos and control on stage.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Loreen talk about creativity as a spiritual and personal practice, the meaning behind her music and the importance of staying grounded in an industry that moves at lightning speed.

They dive into the pressure of Eurovision, the expectations that come with winning, and how Loreen has learned to protect her energy while still giving everything to her performances.

There’s also discussion of identity, self-expression and trusting your instincts as an artist — alongside reflections on fame, connection, and what it really means to create something that resonates across cultures.

Comedian, writer and gloriously chaotic storyteller Daisy Doris May is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!

Known for her sharp stand-up and viral online sketches, Daisy has built a reputation for turning awkward life experiences into comedy gold. Daisy has performed at the likes of Melbourne International Comedy Festival (where she was nominated for Best Comedy in 2025) and, most recently, finished her sold-out, five star-reviewed debut UK tour with her show BIG NIGHT OUT, fresh from her third Edinburgh Fringe.​

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Daisy talk about the realities of building a comedy career in the social media age — from posting sketches online to navigating the weirdness of audiences who feel like they already know you. They also dive into the strange alchemy of turning personal chaos into jokes, the highs and lows of performing live, and why comedians are often the worst people to put in normal social situations.

They also share dating disasters and the sometimes surreal experience of having your most embarrassing thoughts become your most successful content.

Along the way, Daisy shares stories from the stand-up circuit, the creative process behind their characters, and how they have learned to embrace the awkwardness that makes her comedy so distinctive.

It's chaotic and candid on this episode of The Final FronTia - as Tia is joined by Drag Race star Nyongbella!

Nyongbella is best known for her memorable run on the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK - where she was the third queen of Cameroonian descent to compete in the franchise, and the third trans contestant to compete on the UK edition.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Nyongbella get deep into it... all whilst Nyongbella does Tia's make-up (watch this episode on YouTube for the full experience!).

Nyongbella reflects on the whirlwind of entering the Drag Race universe, becoming a meme machine and the surprising wave of love she received from fans after the show aired. She opens up about feeling misunderstood in the competition and why being labelled “delusional” never quite landed when she simply sees it as confidence.

Away from the competition drama, they get into everything from drag names to fandom culture, childhood ambitions (which of them wanted to become a Powerpuff Girl?!) plus a blind Drag Race ranking with plenty of commentary about the ever-expanding drag universe.

We have a wickedly funny episode of The Final FronTia for you... as the hilarious Daniel Foxx is on the show!

Daniel is an award-winning comedian and writer. His debut show "VILLAIN" completely sold-out at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 and toured internationally, including sell-out runs at New York's SoHo Playhouse and London's Clapham Grand. His new tour "How Lovely" is touring across the UK in 2026.

Daniel is also the co-writer of the musical Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch, which is playing now at The Other Palace in London.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Daniel talk all about heartbreak (inspired by Daniel's new tour), horrifying dating app stories (who goes on a date with a puppeteer?!) and the Peter Pan syndrome of refusing to age gracefully... including some painful sounding fillers!

They also talk about countryside living, whether "gay snowflake" should be rebranded as "snowdrop" (it absolutely should) and the merits of 2000s indie music (The Killers vs Kings of Leon)...

Before the episode wraps, we have a chaotic game of "Name That Villain" where they prove their extensive knowledge of baddies!

We're here with a new episode of The Final FronTia... and things are about to get very, very geeky.

Yes, Lawrence may be the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and they may be an international touring powerhouse, but in this episode it's less about drag and more about sonic screwdrivers.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Lawrence dive deep into their shared Whovian obsession — favourite Doctors, companion discourse, villain rankings, regeneration trauma, and the pure camp theatricality that makes the show such a cultural touchstone.

They talk about growing up queer and finding escapism in sci-fi, how Doctor Who shaped their imaginations, and why the show’s heart — kindness, hope and a bit of chaos — resonates so strongly.

Naturally, there’s chaos too. The pair swap stories about touring mishaps, Drag Race sisterhood and the delicate art of reading someone without actually starting a war.

But then... war does break out... as Lawrence and Tia go head-to-head in a battle to find out who is the biggest fan of Doctor Who, and there are stakes!
