214: Miz Cracker!
HAPPY PRIDE! To celebrate the beginning of Pride Month, here is an Encore Presentation of the chat I had with Miz Cracker, during which I came out as queer. If you are questioning or exploring your sexuality, remember to take things at your own speed, ignore pressure from anyone else, and do what's best for you.
Craig welcomes Miz Cracker to talk salty puns, getting grabbed at the museum, making the most of a solo trip to New York City, the Last Chance Bench at Barracuda, bookshelves in the snow, exploring and expanding one’s sexuality, Bob The Drag Queen, “Magnolia”, getting nagged into drag, hot fuschia flowers, , Cracker’s BFF Katelyn, grappling with yourself, pizza confessions, Drag Race, emotional circuit breakers, "American Woman”, Gillian Anderson, flip phones, favorite trees, and more!

This much whimsy is worth your time!
Love this show and the variety of guests, and the fabulous rapport Craig has with them. Probably my favourite guests so far have been (in no particular order) Mrs Kasha Davis, Crystal, Bitqch Puddin, Miz Cracker (an adorable drag nerd), John Grant and the magnificent Boulet Brothers. More please!
I love this podcast!
I’ve always loved this show from episode one but it has been a great source of therapy during lockdown. Knowing people are feeling like you and struggle too has helped me. I love you Craig and I’m also proud to support you on Patreon 💜💜💜

I learnt a load of good words listening to this podcast. If you want a sexy vocabulary, they got it.
