Whispering Huntys

This week, we unite old friends Adam Unze and Cybil War. Adam and Cybil school us on European Diva Róisín Murphy. How Jessie J, Kylie Minogue, and The (Dixie) Chicks got us through 2020. We also dive deeply into the politics of Ginny Lemon’s earth-shattering departure from the competition!

We also discuss: The shenanigans at Brita Filter’s fabulous Unfiltered Party with Denali! We also talk about Sugarland (Rest in Power) - a legendary Brooklyn queer bar. Come On Everybody (one of best newer queer spaces in Brooklyn) and the new addition - Good Judy. Horchata. We get to all about Cybil’s House at the legendary White Swan in London! Then, talk about the Brooklyn nightlife legend of The Spectrum. A must-see spot in London: The Glory ( set up by John Sizzle and Jonny Woo). And, hot pot: The Cause. Rude British Queens. The Great British Drag Competition of Drag UK Season 1 VS Season 2. In regards to Ginny’s choice: When you are doing a TV for exposure, do you really need to care about the rules? Ginny’s infamous exit. Lorraine Kelly. Why Ginny’s Telly Character from Australia? Why The Only Way is Essex was the best way! Where are the Crocs? Also, why was Veronica SO mad?

And, of course, Drag UK Season 2 Episode 4 Morning Glory!
