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!!

Tony Soto & Pickle
Who's The Rhoda? Tony Soto is back and he's brought a special guest with him. Pickle is a live-singing Los Angeles Queen with a dry sense of humor and an encyclopedia of reads. Although only 2.5 years into her "Career," she's become an L.A. nightlife regular. We chat with Tony & Pickle about their friendship, Drag in L.A. , and their upcoming show with Roz Drezfalez! In light of the recent disaster in Puerto Rico, we'd like to highlight some of the ongoing relief efforts: The Hispanic Federation is collecting donations to be distributed to various agencies in Puerto Rico. TO DONATE TODAY, head over to HispanicFederation.org. RuPaul's Drag Race alum, Phi Phi O'Hara, is heading up a benefit show, "Reinas Unidas / Queens United: A Drag Show For Puerto Rico!" Proceeds from ticket sales, merch, and meet & greets will all be given to the Somos Una Voz relief initiative. TO DONATE TODAY, head over to GrizzlyKiKi.com/queensunited.
