We start to get into the world of RuPaul's DragCon and talking about if #Drag has one way of doing things or if the world of drag performance can be seen from many different angles, ideas and artistic inturpretations (spoiler alert, IT CAN! Who'd have thunk!)

Happy Holidays! We're back with our yearly Christmas Special & this time we're continuing from last year to discuss Spooky Christmas. But the emo & goth teenagers living deep inside both Olly & (less deep) Vivian means today we're discussing Nightmare Before Christmas.

Talking with @jayjustice.net about cosplay. It's not all about getting a viral video or winning competitions. cosplay is a hobby with so much more to it!
We get into it on what makes #cosplay such an amazing subculture & the diverse range of makers & makes that exist within it!

It's #AudioDramaSunday, so I wanted to do something I haven't done in a bit:

Share three shows that I've been really enjoying, made by teams/creators that are new to me!
