Trixie Mattel: I Wish I Called Home More When My Drag Career Took Off
Trixie Mattel is a drag queen who rose to fame in Season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and later won Season 3 of the All-Stars, but more importantly, she took my song, Bad Woman, and turned it into a banging gay anthem!
Together we chat about heartbreak and the madness it can drive us to, but the solace of boredom and simple things. We laugh about how full glam can be embarrassing when parenting and also when you’re stopped at customs travelling with a suitcase of drag outfits (or disguises!). We also talk about the state of America and the mess of keeping yourself informed whilst not losing your mind - Trixie spoke about not running but staying to fight the fight.
I had so much fun with Trixie - we even have a little impromptu performance of Bad Woman - heaven! Now please can you help me get on RuPaul's Drag Race as a guest judge??

Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith
Paloma Faith has had plenty of moments in her life when she's felt mad, sad or bad - or been told that's what she's being. But do these words mean the same for everyone? What does it mean if someone says you're mad: that you're angry? Unstable? Insane? Or perhaps just different... Could those words be liberating, therapeutic or even transformational?
To find out more, Paloma invites an array of actors, comedians, musicians and thinkers into her home to reflect on times where they've felt mad, sad, bad - and even glad - what they've understood and learnt from these experiences too.
This podcast takes us into Paloma's world, with friends and family popping in occasionally - come for the chaos; stay for the conversation!
