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!!

Ragamuffin has something to say!
Listen up, Ragamuffin has something to say! We last spoke with Raga on her 1-year drag birthday. Since then, she has made drag her full-time career, booked regular gigs at Brooklyn's most popular bars, and grown tremendously as a performer. She has not only taken up the helm, along with Ruby Roo, of "Mondays on Mondays" after Thorgy Thor's departure for RuPaul's Drag Race, but is now traveling the country with Thorgy and also developing new and exciting shows of her own. In this interview, we catch up with Raga and get real about life on the road, Drag Race, baby queens, & audience etiquette. We also talk about her latest performances and brand new weekly happy hour show, "FAILURE: A Drag Workshop," where queer performers try out and workshop experimental numbers.
