Ep 7 – The Queer Stupidity of Meg Stalter and Jake Jonez with Johnny Gentleman

This week on The It Girl Podcast, Britney Shields (@itsbritneyshields) is joined by the suave, sharp, and sensational Johnny Gentleman (@johnnythegentla) — a true standout in the rising tide of drag kings who are finally getting their flowers. We talk about the cultural win that is King of Drag, and why it's about damn time the world started paying attention to the kings.  Then, we swirl through a chaotic mix of pop culture, politics, and pure queer joy:  The grace and guts of Ms. Rachel, who’s using her platform to advocate for Palestinian liberation — and why it mattersSouth Park’s unhinged and surprisingly revolutionary call to armsThe viral brilliance of Jake Jonez and Meg Stalter, serving queer absurdism with zero apologiesThe absolutely unnecessary announcement that Mario and Peach aren't dating Jojo Siwa, again. We can’t stop. She won’t let us.A dive into The Cheetah Girls era, and why their influence still slapsAnd a heartfelt plea for all listeners to stream Rose Gray’s new album Louder, Please — pop excellence, zero skips.  It’s kings, culture, chaos, and cheetah-licious realness — one big beautiful mess you won’t want to miss.  The It Girl Podcast is filmed and produced by Mimi von Schack (@mimi.vonschack), Devin O’Brien (@devinobrien06), and Twenty Beach Productions (@twentybeachproductions)   Like the show?
