You're Making It Worse

Mano Agapion of Drag Her, the Drag Race podcast he co-hosts with Nicole Byer, joins the guys to talk all things RPDR. Who would host if RuPaul stepped down?

Alan chat about openly bisexual Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema, who's been wearing colorful wigs...

John Flynn and Mark Rennie of the podcast Two Old Queens join Brent, Eliot and H.

Then, Brent, Eliot and H. Alan try to figure out why J.K. Rowling is OBSESSED with trans people. Plus, g...

Larry Owens is our first ever Pulitzer Prize-winning guest! Okay, the award technically went to the play Strange Loop, of which he is the breakout star (and award winner himself), but who's counting?

Alan recall their own experiences with sexual harassment, including the t...
