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!
