Victoria Scone: Okay SHE is a woman!

Today, we have a bittersweet announcement: listeners, we have reached the end of season one, making this a season finale for our bright-eyed and bushy tailed project… possibly a series finale. This episode is going to be a little different. Instead of running a single interview, we’re actually going to be running two interviews—two catch up chats with some of our favorite guests on the show, just to investigate where they were when we first found them, and what they’ve been up to since their episode aired.

Victoria Scone is a fantastically talented drag queen who hails from Cardiff in Wales. But she’s also a groundbreaking figure because she is the first cis woman to compete on RuPaul’s Drag Race. For anyone who's new to drag, you heard me right—she's a woman who dresses as a woman. Or should I say as a WOMAAAAAN. Scone’s time on Drag Race was cut short by an injury, but everyone is praying she’ll be welcomed back for another season. Today Scone is a touring artist, an influencer, an icon in my eyes. But as she puts it, she’s simply a “celesbian.”  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
