Grizzly Kiki began in April 2014 as a pop culture and drag-centric podcast hosted by Robert Lechuga & Daniel Silva. We launched with recaps of RuPaul’s Drag Race and other reality programming. Shortly after releasing the first few episodes, we narrowed our focus to create a podcast that was unique in concept and would serve a community near and dear to us: DRAG QUEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The podcast is equal parts oral history and good old-fashioned kiki. We found that there were few platforms where Drag and Nightlife Artists could talk about their art and themselves in an open and honest way. Most of what is known about these artists comes from videos posted on the Internet or what they experience in bars and clubs. It was clear that there were stories to be told and shared with the world. Our mission is to create a comfortable and safe environment, where these artists can share their histories and experiences. Ours is a podcast that is meant to serve the drag and nightlife community by capturing the artists’ voices and making them available to the public. Grizzly Kiki is a program for drag enthusiasts, Drag Artists, and everyone in between. Listen and Join the Party!!

Ruby Roo Is Looking For Love!!
Ruby Roo is truly a Drag Queen Housewife. She is most happy when cooking, entertaining, & having long conversations with her BFF, Ruth (keep in mind that Ruth is a hefty Maine Coon.) This domestic goddess with a face that could launch more boats than Helen of Troy also uses her talents to spread joy, love, and cuntiness to all of the children in Brooklyn & the West Village!! We last spoke to Ruby almost two years ago when Grizzly KiKi was a baby podcast. Since then, we've gotten to know Ruby much better. In this interview, we talk to Ruby about her career trajectory; Meg (her loyal assistant); Drag Con; and how she and Ragamuffin kept "Mondays on Monday" at This n' That afloat after the she-devil herself, Thorgy Thor, left them to be on "RuPaul's Drag Race!" Not to leave any stone unturned, we also tried to find Ms. Roo true love by having her take a Cosmo Quiz. Listen to find out which dead "Grey's Anatomy" character is her one and only.
