BBC Sounds
About this episode

Drag Race season 9 winner Sasha Velour joins Dua to discuss her new book, The Big Reveal, which chronicles drag's roots, its champions, and the challenges it's faced. They discuss whether or not she'd ever return to the hit TV series for an all-winners season, the state of drag in America (and more globally) in recent years, and why intersectionality and inclusion is at the heart and soul of her art. It's a powerful conversation you'll find yourself truly enriched by.
