Podcasts to escape with: The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
Drag queens and former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo talk about the different facets of the beauty industry in their podcast The Bald and The Beautiful.
Their guests are the beautiful: influencers, models, drag queens, and more. The bald refers to Trixie and Katya, who, out of drag, are both plain-looking white men named Brian. Some of their guests include YouTube influencer Gigi Gorgeous, Bob the Drag Queen, and Kim Chi. Trixie and Katya are passionate about beauty and moments in pop culture that influenced their drag careers. Hearing about their beginnings in drag with the guests they bring on is also interesting to hear about. Katya and Trixie share the influential people in their community with the listeners and the way they support each other is nice to see.
Trixie and Katya have been working together for a long time. They have a successful web series from WOWPresents called UNHhhhh and they have a Netflix YouTube show called I Like to Watch where they react to popular Netflix shows and movies. The same jokes, crazy stories, impressions, and voices from those shows are in this podcast as well. Their friendship, insight on beauty, and absurdity is interesting enough to get you lost in their world.
