    Trixie + Fena | If The Wig Stays On, The Zipper Closes + No One Cries, It's No Accident. It's Fena.

    Trixie Mattel and Fena Barbitall know drag is never just the person in front of the camera. It takes trust, instinct, taste, stamina, and someone behind the scenes who knows how to keep the whole illusion alive. In this episode of Unfamous, Justin Tranter sits down with the longtime collaborators to talk about drag as a craft, creative assistance, building looks under pressure, touring, ego, instinct, boundaries, and what it takes to support an artist while helping shape the final vision. It’s funny. It’s candid. It’s deeply specific. And it’s a real look at the kind of behind-the-scenes collaboration that makes performance feel effortless, even when it absolutely isn’t. If you love pop culture, drag, and the messy, magical truth behind how things get made, this one’s for you. Follow, subscribe, like and comment wherever you watch and listen.

    Amy Allen + Gabz Landman | The Songwriter–Manager Partnership That Built a Hitmaking Career

    Solo Session with Ink | From Street Performer to writing Beyonce's “16 Carriages” and performing at Stagecoach

    Ink is a hitmaking songwriter with main-character energy. But more importantly? She understands collaboration like it’s a spiritual practice and a contact sport. In this Unfamous minisode, Justin Tranter sits down with Ink (Beyoncé’s “16 Carriages,” Lil Nas X’s “Star Walkin’,” Kendrick Lamar's "Luther", and a résumé she will absolutely read out loud and proud) to talk about freestyling melodies, letting go of the thing you “married,” learning from genius-level artists, and why the room has to stay sacred for the magic to show up. It’s funny, unfiltered, unexpectedly deep, and a masterclass in staying loose while still making something great. If you love music, creativity, and the messy reality of how the best work gets made: welcome to the room. Follow, subscribe, like and comment wherever you watch and listen.

    Caleb Hearon + Caitie Delaney | How to Be Funny, Employed, and Only Mildly Traumatized About It

    Caleb Hearon and Caitie Delaney are hilarious. But more importantly? They know how to collaborate. In this episode of Unfamous, Justin Tranter sits down with two of comedy’s sharpest minds to talk about writing rooms, pitching to sell, ego deaths, executive notes, financial insecurity, and the very specific horror of saying “sure” to Caleb Hearon. It’s chaotic. It’s smart. It’s deeply honest. And it’s a real take on how collaboration actually works. If you love pop culture, comedy, and the messy truth behind how things get made, this one’s for you.
