Forever and ever, Heklina

I’m going back and listening to each of these. Here guests are amazing. Hilarious. I did not know her well, but she was at every single event I went to in SF and her influence was wide. I regret not introducing myself when I saw her last (out of drag) at a show at the Bottom of the Hill. T-shack was a true turning point in SF. Rest In Power, Heckles.

RIP Heklina. This podcast and Heklina’s drag brought me out of my dark thoughts many times. Her impact on drag will not go unnoticed.

Beyond drag, culture.

Thank god for podcasts. The gift of being able to document oral histories through the narratives of those who’s lives pushed forward the culture. Underground kings and Queens that might of been left behind by the vapid popular. Thank you Heklina! Keep centering these voices.

Drag Goddess!

A weekly dose of drag in my ears. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll miss putting on your favorite dress. A must-listen for all queer folks and those that worship them.

Love This!

Thanks Heklina for a fun, smart and hilarious podcast. I’ve started keeping a pen close by so I can look up all the amazing guests and people that are mentioned in the show. It’s been really fun to learn about all of the amazing queens and kings who have been doing this art form for a very long time.

Genuine

I had no clue who Heklina was until I stumbled over this . I’m not well acquainted with his guests yet It feels like I know them . The host hostess knows how to guide the conversation such a genuine character . A delight to listen .

New favorite podcast

I love learning about queer history (and all the tea) and have been binging all these episodes. I didn’t know about this until I saw a post on Reddit and I’m glad I gave it a listen!

What a star studded cast of drag royalty! If you like gossip, crass humor, and behind the scenes tales from some of the greatest drag and performance icons of our time then this podcast will not disappoint! Perfection.

Found you by accident

But, I’m staying on purpose. What a fun show. My first episode was the Floyd episode! It totally gave me insight on what about RuPaul bothers me. I am an instant fan!

Legendary

Heklina is an icon that helped shape the drag landscape long before any reality show came around. Her wit and ferocity shine in this podcast. Give it a listen if you want an easy breezy show full of humor, history and sass.
