Episodes

Two drag queens talk about their favorite pop divas. Dominick “Deyy” Allen has emulated Beyoncé’s fierce performance style since he was a kid. Two-time RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Mrs. Kasha Davis said Tina Turner has been a source of strength during the most challenging moments of her life.
Tug Hill, New York, is known for its snowmobiling culture. Behind every smooth trail are volunteers like Dave Kowell, who spend winter nights deep in the woods operating 25,000-pound vehicles. As a trail groomer, Dave found purpose in this work that keeps the region alive and riding.
Parker Sokol, a 23-year-old Syracuse University student, is a Taylor Swift fanatic. Parker’s obsession started in 2012. Since then, her love for Taylor has gone international. She’s attended over 20 Eras Tour shows, collected memorabilia and created long-lasting memories.

Since 2023, romantasy books have consistently appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. But what makes sexy dragons and fairies so popular?
