    112 - Alaska: Golden Girls, Oh Mary & No More Reality TV

    She’s a Drag Race icon, musician, Broadway star and self-proclaimed pop culture obsessive! Alaska Thunderfuck is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia! From winning RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 2 to creating music, performing around the world and starring in Drag: The Musical, Alaska has built a career that goes far beyond the Werk Room. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Alaska dive into their shared love of pop culture, including why The Golden Girls has become such an important part of queer culture, chosen family and the joy of finding your people. They also get into reality TV and Alaska is very clear about why she has absolutely no desire to do it again! They talk about the difference between early Drag Race and the increasingly strategic world of reality TV, the psychological impact of being isolated from the outside world, and Alaska's experience returning for UK vs the World. There's plenty of theatre chat too, as Alaska talks about playing the iconic Mary in Oh, Mary!, the possibility of bringing Drag: The Musical to the UK and why Alaska wants drag on stage to be a little less sanitised, a little more grungy, glamorous and punk. It's fun, filthy, pop-culture obsessed and packed with drag history!

    111 - Suzi Ruffell: Spice Girls, The L Word & Self Esteem

    She's one of Britain's most beloved stand-up comedians, bestselling author and podcast host Suzi Ruffell — and she's joining Tia for a live episode of The Final FronTia! Suzi has appeared on the biggest comedy shows (including Live At The Apollo,Mock the Week, The Last Leg and more) and has received nominations for Best Stand-Up Show and Outstanding Female Comedy Entertainment Performance at the National Comedy Awards. She has also hosted red carpet coverage for the BAFTAs and The International Booker Prize. She also hosts the podcasts "Big Kick Energy" with Maisie Adam, "Like Minded Friends" with Tom Allen, and her own podcast "OUT". On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Suzi navigate the pop culture moments that helped shape a generation of queer people - from the Spice Girls and Sex and the City to Big Brother, The L Word and more. They also reflect on growing up searching for representation, why seeing yourself on screen matters and how reality TV once became an unlikely home for authentic LGBTQ+ stories. Suzi opens up about anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem and why the most confident people aren't always the best comedians. Together they discuss social media, authenticity, the pressure to constantly achieve more, and the importance of celebrating where you are instead of endlessly chasing what's next. Plus, the audience joins in with questions about The L Word, getting older, career ambitions and queer community, before Tia and Suzi wrap things up with a gloriously chaotic game of In or Out.
