Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m so late to the party Mary! I just came across this pod mid-AS7 and I was immediately charmed by these two Marys. They make you feel like you’re right there with them talking about your favorite show. So positive, so real, and unafraid to tackle the tougher topics with honesty and a generous heart. After AS7 I went back to re-live past seasons via this pod and Mary, it’s been worth it! Their empathy for the Ru girls through the seasons has warmed my heart many times and honestly sometimes feels like empathy for me. Maybe that’s silly, but still, I’ll take a warm feeling where I can get one. I have joined in their infectious laughter time and again. Not me getting misty!! Officially the BSA of podcast reviews. Thank you Mary!!!

Alright Marys, I have been on the hunt for a long time for a podcast that successfully and intelligently unpacks the many layers that RuPaul gives us in every season of drag race. Colin and Johnny bring you right into the conversation and into jokes on the first listen. Came for the recaps, stayed for the references, became a matreon when my area code was mentioned.

I’ve been listening for years. Love all of the inside jokes, and musical allusions. The hosts are clearly passionate and considerate of multiple perspectives. I frequently listen to the hosts reviews/discussions of media I’ve never seen. That’s no easy task! Will gladly listen along to whatever topic they decide to explore.

Has me cackling laughing and thoroughly enjoying myself every episode. Calling out nuances I wouldn’t notice, providing lighthearted but also important commentary while being a thoroughly enjoyable show

I used to love this show. It was part of my essential post-drag race listening but now it feels like they (especially Colin) don’t enjoy anything on the show anymore? Or at least don’t get excited about it the way they used to. It’s like Colin would rather go on random tangents than talk about the show now. I love tangents but sometimes he’ll go on one to avoid talking about something that often Johnny is excited about. Hope it gets back to normal soon :/
