Whispering Huntys

Could there be any more drag competitions happening at the same time? Drag Race France is coming soon and the UK, Canada, and Italy are airing at the same time!!!!!!!!!! It is the best of times for Nick and the worst of times for Mijon. But, for you, Huntys, we pushed through and watched all three. Day after Trans Remembrance Day, we salute our queer family and would like to draw attention to those lost and the need to educate ourselves and be stronger allies to the trans community. Period.

Another week, another double something. What on earth is happening that 2 billion new franchises are happening. It is so hard to keep up. Luckily, we have our British darling from across the pond this week, Coco Couture! We dish about everything: hosting drag brunch Kitty Scott-Claus, life before and after lockdown, the new Adele, and trashy British TV. Happy belated birthday to our lovely Nick Probst. We love you Nick and thanks again, Coco.

What a week! Vanity Milan lives to see another slay, a timed challenge that could not be real, we are still confused as to who and what Grimes is, Eve 6000 has 6000 problems, and Cynthia Kiss has risen from the dead. Coming to you from a vacation in the Catskills, Mijon is falling love with the country and Nick is all in favor. Like upstate, this is an intimate episode with just your two co-hosts as we go in on the franchises. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy, Huntys!

Cybil War is finally done hiding from the pandemic and was getting ready for a show! The world and Halloween have been missing her! We learn all about the phenomenon of “strip pubs” in the UK. Then, we catch up on Cybil’s House (her formerly monthly, but now quarterly party at The White Swan) and the trials and tribulations throwing queer parties have faced over the pandemic. Then, is straight into holds bared episode of the shade, tea, and realness. Shoutout to friend of Cybil, Merrie Cherry, for the excellent work on Dragula.

We are back in Ireland this week with Victoria Secret who honored us with her presence before popping to the George in Dublin for one of her first live gigs now that bars are open for business! Irelan is 95% and putting many countries to shame. Well done!! Victoria has recently retired from Snapchat and we are all broken-hearted about it, but we understand she needs to focus on what works, which is her! Could you believe the group issue numbers in Canada and week without a winner in the UK? That we are seriously mourning the losses of the two queens that brought so much to each competition that were eliminated this week. Mais, c’est la vie!

We are back up north and chatting with our friends in Canada. Sunshine Glitterchild has been doing Ottawa Drag Race competition while WigZaddy has been busy working on the new TV show Call Me Mother. We also learn about how Toronto’s drag scene has changed since COVID. Then, we dive into so much Drag Race!

How lucky are we to have the darling Adam Johannesson grace on the podcast this week. An illustrator and graphic designer, Adam’s drawing of queens like Miss Fame and Violet Chachki garnered so much attention that queens themselves started following and reposting.. We get to hear about how he collaborated with Miss Fame and has recently featured The Queer Bible: Essays by Jack Guinness a gorgeously illustrated collection of essays written by today's queer heroes.

It is Tulip planting season in Holland, so we circled back again to plant some seeds for Drag Race Holland Season 3 and to speak with Drag Queen extraordinaire Hoax LeBeau (Remy could never). This 11-year-old drag-entrepreneur got her first job offer after attending a theme party and turn that into a drag, DJ, and host career! She also founded The Drag Agency to empower other drag royalty to make that good money! Hoax gives the full scoop on her relationship to Nyx and 3Nyx and also lets’ us know about her own club night Traffamafia (Crossdresser Mafia). Oh, the times we will have if ever get to Holland!

Hurray for the Vanessa Van Cartier! Welcome British Drag! And, Happy Belated Rotterdam pride. We are busy, we are swamped and there is just so much good drag. This week we are joined by deep friend of the pod, Drag Costumier (featured on Drag Race Uk and Drag Race España), and Fashion Designer Phillip Brown. We get a full scoop of news from across the pond and then deep dive into the finale gave us a queen that we deserve but also gave us a lot of confusion. But when drag is as good as what Holland has been serving, who cares!

What the actual F*$% Y’all. We gagged, we are gooped by the cheek, the nerve, the audacity, and the gumption of this final four. I mean. I mean! Our thoughts and prayers to Keta Minaj. Luckily, in our time of need, deep friend of the pod, Noah Millman (events producer, professor, and fitness savant) joins us with Miss Cartier (Matt Geuze), the daughter of Envy Peru (technically the granddaughter of Vanessa Van Cartier and Tabitha)! We learn about how Envy unlocked Miss Cartier’s feminine side one night in Paris. The rest is her-story! Up-date from Holland - drag brunches are happening and bars reopening from 4 pm-12 amfor the vaccinated, but if you are a tourist, times are tough with daily PCR tests! We also learn about a party called Monday Muse at Bar Rouge, which done by Totally Events (a POC and Trans inclusive events production company :))
