No One Likes a Burnt Out Queen

Welcome to Dragging it Down Under, your soon-to-be favorite podcast that celebrates DRAG in Australia and the world. Hosted by Jem and Mitzi, two enthusiasts who are obsessed with the art form of drag.

This week in Queen Tea - it’s bloody Drag Christmas out there! SO many shows have been announced, including Bianca Del Rio’s Dead Inside tour and Trixie’s Solid Pink Disco - Blonde Edition. We also talk about the buffoons protesting Drag Story Time in Adelaide, and did Gabriella Labucci throw shade at Hannah Conda?

We’ll also be reviewing Ru’s memoir, The House of Hidden Meanings, and reporting on three things we’ve both learned after listening to the book.

We’ll be topping it off with where you can catch a wonderful drag show near you this month - hint, there’s SO much drag happening around Aus!

Don’t miss our fourth episode, and if you’re loving what’s going in your ear holes, please rate us 5-stars here on Spotify 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - c’mon guys we’re trying to beat 6 ratings!
