    Rhys Nicholson, comedian

    Rhys Nicholson is a comedian, actor, and judge on Drag Race Down Under. They began their stand-up journey in their teens, with regular train rides to Sydney’s open mic evenings, before launching onto the global comedy scene with a slot on Conan O’Brien. This, in turn, lead to a Netflix special, which found it’s way to one RuPaul.  They’ve won countless awards, have toured globally multiple times, and are a regular panellist and host on Australian television.  Their book DISH was published in 2023. Their experience and voice on the relationship that some queer people have with bodies and food is one I personally welcome.  We discuss music by the Scissor Sisters, Talking Heads, and David Byrne. Follow Rhys online.

    Episode 50 with Peppermint

    Peppermint joins me for our 50th episode.  A mainstay of New York nightlife, Peppermint burst onto the global queer scene as a finalist in RuPaul's Drag Race's ninth season. Soon after, she became the first trans actress to originate a principle role on Broadway, and has starred in dozens of television roles, most recently in Michelle Buteau's Survival of the Thickest on Netflix. She continues to regularly appear on mainstream news outlets as a powerfully articulate activist for trans folk, and co-hosts Town Hall: A Black Queer Podcast with Bob the Drag Queen.   We discuss music by Kina, Maxwell, and Janet Jackson.

    Eric Schnall, author and Broadway producer

    Eric Schnall is a Broadway producer and author from New York. Eric grew up attending Broadway productions with his parents, leading to a professional career which saw him driving critically-lauded shows like the Hedwig and the Angry Inch revival, and Fleabag. In 2024, Eric published his first book, I Make Envy on Your Disco – a love letter to Berlin, through the eyes of a late 30s gay man exploring the city in the early 2000s, running from personal turmoil and finding solace in the concrete jungle. I love Berlin, so I was already on board, but I really love Eric's book. Berlin is as much a character in the story as any of the fabulous people in Eric's cast, and I highly recommend it to fans of Less.  We discuss music by Prince, Deee-Lite, and the Eurythmics. Follow Eric online.

    Chloe Petts, comedian

    Chloe Petts is a *very* funny comedian from the UK.  Her work is littered with brilliant examples of what I think of as 'soft' activism – she skilfully endears audiences with her warmth, before a one-two punch reminder of the foolishness of homo- and transphobia.  Chloe is touring the UK and Australia throughout 2025, and you can find her tour dates here. We discuss music by Tina Turner, Haim, and Kasabian (!). Follow Chloe online.

    Margaret Cho, entertainer

    Margaret Cho. Period. A groundbreaking comedian, actor, musician, and advocate, Margaret Cho has been smashing barriers and ceilings in entertainment since the early 1990s. She's a massive queero of mine, and I was quite honestly shook to be on a Zoom with the Notorious C.H.O. herself. Margaret just released her third studio album, Lucky Gift, including punk pop girl group bangers, musings on opioid addiction, and a beautiful tribute to her mentor, Robin Williams. We discuss music by Erasure, the Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack, and k.d. lang. Follow Margaret online here.
