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!!

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 Ep. 8
The Library Is Still Open! On Episode 8, only 5 queens are left and tensions are running high. After Thorgy's elimination on Episode 7, we're still mourning her departure, but this episode gave us life!! It's Puppet Challenge time and the girls go in, with Derrick & Naomi now at odds and using their puppets to throw shade at one another. The standout is ChiChi, who channels Bob perfectly! The Maxi Challenge brings us the RuPaul Book Ball. Each queen has to present three looks: Baby Drag Realness, That's My Mama Realness, & Autobiographical Eleganza Extravaganza. They also have to choreograph and perform a musical tribute to Amy Sedaris' iconic character Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy. We also read some listener questions & comments, so drop us a line! We'll be giving you a piece of our mind every Wednesday, so be sure to subscribe!
