    Jan 9 2025

    UPDATE: The performance of Little Shop Of Horrors discussed in this episode was canceled due to the fires in Los Angeles, but we like the conversation so much that we’re leaving the episode up. Hopefully the show will be rescheduled, we will keep you updated! Stay safe, listeners in L.A. (and elsewhere)!

    On this Speed Dates bonus episode, host Joel Kim Booster welcomes his old friend and LEGENDARY drag queen Shea Couleé to talk about their upcoming one-night-only performance of Little Shop Of Horrors, where they will reprise their roles from a 2006 high school production they did together! They also talk about Shea’s favorite love story from the movies, finding the person you love over and over again, and how community can really heal you.

    On a new episode of Bad Dates, host Joel Kim Booster welcomes drag queen & recording artist Yvie Oddly, and comedians Meredith Casey and Danny Jacobs to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos. Yvie tries to maintain her date’s human dignity, but it’ll make a great story for the grandkids, Meredith is prepared to do some of the work, but maybe not on the hood of her Subaru, and Danny’s girlfriend meets his father, but, once you’ve listened, you’ll understand exactly what a terrible idea that was.
