In this season 2 bonus episode, Mary sits down with RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 finalist, host of Canada's Drag Race and executive producer/host of 1 Queen, 5 Queers, Brooke Lynn Hytes.
The two discuss the differences in perceptions of disability in Canada and the United States, disabled representation in the Drag Race ecosystem and the lack thereof. Will there ever be a more accessible Drag Race format for disabled/chronically ill drag performers?
They also discuss misconceptions surrounding disabled individuals, the future of 1 Queen 5 Queers, the inaccessibility of drag shows and whether or not virtual drag shows will be making a comeback.
The Politics of Disability was named Best Interview Podcast at the Astoria Film Festival in both October 2022 and again in June 2023.
