PAGEANT POD presented by MOM

I’m taking you to church with this long a** bible verse of a review so get into it dearhearts. Willam and Alaska have created not one, but multiple forms of entertainment within the LGBTQIA+ community. Their ability to make me cackle with their Golden Girls references while also educating the world on real issues is something no one should take for granted. I am a non-binary pansexual who is AFAB and I tell everyone that these amazing women are a big part of how I learned to accept who I am. They never stray from conversations that need to be had and allow space for growth and learning. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to have that kind of educational environment. Alaska is right when she says that drag isn’t just froth. It’s powerful and beautiful and has saved life’s. My sister got diagnosed with chronic liver failure almost two weeks ago and watching Ms. Jazell perform “He luvs me too” was the first time I allowed myself to feel really happy. I know Willam and Alaska don’t read comments and I totally understand it. Regardless, I still want to say how grateful I am for Willam, Alaska, Jazell, and the entirety of the LGBTQIA+ community for letting us all have a space to speak and to be happy. Thank you ladies! ❤️

Every interview, every suggested video, every silly banter makes my heart sing. The respect that the hosts have for the pageant system and what it has provided for especially the LGBTQ is just so well done. Alaska’s encyclopedia mind of drag and Willam’s bold humor- the two make my dream come true for a podcast.

The gals are doing god’s work with this pod. I know it’s just a show about drag pageants but, dammit, queer history is *important* and we very easily forget how we in the lgbtqia community got to the imperiled-yet-privileged space we now occupy. Willam and Alaska are our best ambassadors and, man… I just love them. Love this show.

This pod is beyond insightful and fun to listen to.. i love the fact that its only an 8 episode special and has soooo many qualified guest speakers
