  • The best drag-oriented show

    Since Maddy landed on YouTube (and then MOM very sensibly snapped her up) she has kept growing and getting even better. Just the best drag-adjacent show around. Insightful, well-researched, empathetic and funny. Love Miss Madeline.

  • love Maddy 😍

    I haven’t watched her season of drag race but the thoughtful interviews and her charisma and dry humor have made Maddy one of my favorite drag queens. Give it to me straight is my favorite podcast right now, truly the thought and care that goes into every episode is so clear 💕

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tempest Dujour
Q: What was the experience of conversion therapy like for you?
Dejour describes it as horrible and ineffective. She recalls unqualified church leaders questioning her about masturbation, counselors telling her to date women, and programs that framed homosexuality as a compulsive behavior.
Tempest Dujour
Q: What got you into drag at that age? Like that point in your life?
Growing up in a conservative Mormon household, Dejour admired drag performers' confidence and personality. She began performing after a documentary idea fell through and a friend encouraged her to enter a pageant, which she won.
DEV
Q: For those that aren't familiar, kind of give the broad strokes of what this lawsuit was about, what was going on.
Dev says the dispute involved a bad business deal with her former management, became messy, and ultimately led her to end their working relationship. She says they have since made up and she is now independent.
DEV
Q: How did “Like a G6” come to be, and when was the first time you thought you would change your entire life for it?
Dev says it took time for the unusual-sounding song to catch on. Radio interest, label showcases, and audience reactions during a 2009 or 2010 tour helped her realize it could be something special.
Paige Three
Q: What moment made you realize Drag Race could be a turning point in your career?
Her auditioning multiple times and the realization that drugs of opportunity can come from perseverance and branding, leading to a US solo tour and broader visibility.
