Episode 14 - Muriel’s Bedding (DRDU S3, EP 2)

Steven picked one hell of an episode to get out of town, leaving David and Joe to talk about one of the wildest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under by themselves! Sexy boudoirs! Uncensored feet! Fashion! Beauty pageant contestants! And a queen goes down - but not under! Can the podcast manage without the stick-in-the-mud to keep things going? Yes! Because of the incredible Nicholas Edward, who guest edited this episode!

Gays into musical theatre?! Groundbreaking. In this energetic episode, the bois dive into choir performances of years gone by, the fact that Steven doesn't know musicals all that much, and that Joe is maybe a tenor. Maybe? Who knows! But we know this was the best episode of the season, and there is a lot to say about it, including us gushing about Grace Jones! Join us (or maybe Joan us) in this extra-large episode of This Toxic Fandom because it may not be perfect, but it's perfect for you!

Will the songs of Evermore be enough to lift the spirits of the boiz after a rough Snatch Game? Listen now to find out!
