Essential drag podcasts to listen to now
Podcasting started as an independent way for individuals to broadcast their message and build a following outside of traditional media, so it’s little wonder a number of drag queens have grabbed the mic and built solid fan followings.
Podcasting has overtaken traditional talk radio in every conceivable way. No longer are we at the mercy of networks and sponsors with respect to the type of content we are exposed to. We are free to choose what we want to hear about from who we want to hear it from. I don’t know about you, but I personally want to hear everything from the mouth of a drag queen!
Most often when I’m listening to a talk show its on my phone or in my car as I’m commuting around the city. I’m not looking for hard news in those instances, I’m looking to be entertained! Drag queens have a unique world view and somehow manage to make everything better, or at the very least, funnier!
Here is a list of drag queen led podcasts that are guaranteed to make your morning commute more amusing!
