Thank you Joe. I needed to hear from a friendly voice. Very moving and incredibly inspiring!!

Whatever the show is about inevitably the hosts go off on many humorous tangents. Fun shows

Super disappointed. Wanted some funny takes on Global All Stars- I don’t care if you don’t like a queen but why be racist and spread hate?

No

Very dynamic podcast led by Joe. I appreciate when Robert or Christian contribute with their expertise and sense of humor. They keep it refreshing and allow the show to stand out from the others.

Joe is critical but always expounds on his thoughts behind any harsh takes, he’s very honest and unfiltered. It’s giving old school chat radio in a highly listenable way. I find the guests intelligent and funny, the rapport amongst joe and the guest can be intense but almost always funny. 3 stars bc needs more Lauri & Christian plz

I had a different review here for years, but I’m done supporting Afterthought Media. I was a Patron for years and the main host has only gotten more and more sensitive and reactionary. If you say anything even remotely critical of him or the podcast, you will be blocked from the premium channels that you pay for. He loves to play the victim and then say some of the nastiest stuff you’ve ever heard. Loves to trash all white people while making incredibly offensive jokes at the expense of other POCs. He spends hours railing against comedians far funnier and more successful than he could ever hope to be. Its a shame, I really enjoy all of the co-hosts. But seriously, listen to literally any other show, this one is rotten.

They don't even know the names of the contestants that they are discussing. Zero credibility! Do your research and come prepared or just go away!

Mean spirited, tasteless, and lacking even basic drag knowledge.

Christian makes this so unbearable. He’s rude, aggressive and so unlikable.

The three of you

No drag knowledge hosts that are downright hateful most of the time. I only really liked listening to (and watching) Robert’s sexy self/voice and Christian, but I’m unfollowing altogether. Just because you’re self deprecating and preface every insult with “I’m fat and ugly so I can say this” doesn’t make it okay or even funny. Also those voice “impersonations” are not funny. Oh, at all.

An uneven show. Sometimes it’s entertaining, informative and funny. Some other times is just plainly nasty.

None of these people have a good pov or know what they’re talking about. Terrible podcast.

All of it. The hosts & their takes on DR. Main host gives off “I’m not racist, but” vibes. Not surprising this has sub-4 stars. So many other review shows to listen to, do yourself a favor and skip this mess.

stop attacking the queens

I was trying to find a new Drag Race podcast and checked this one out. These are the type of insufferable yt gaze who ruin EVERYTHING. Oh I get it… let’s show how obnoxious misogyny and casual racism are by doubling down on it. It’s not particularly clever or new. Its also not a joke. There is no difference between when they’re being edgy for a bit and expressing their honest opinions. The undercurrent of nastiness disguised as humor isn’t funny… unless you’re an insufferable yt gai who still thinks it’s hilarious to punch down. Sibling Rivalry is way better. Check that out instead.

This guy hates black queens he criticizes everything they do tried to listen but I can’t

Was a little lax in my sub renewal so am bingeing Season 15. Didn’t realize how much I miss Joe’s humor and insights! Adam is a great compliment to him as co-host and makes me smile everyone he cracks up at something.

Gross people with nasty attitudes. Not funny

Joe and Laurie are so nitpicky and negative. Why bother with a podcast about Dragula when you clearly don’t even enjoy the show? They’ve totally missed the mark on the shows silly campy fun.

I’ve been a fan since day 1, but now the podcast is getting a little lazy, not funny, just babbling along, this episode they talked about ( AS7 Ep10) was the WORST. I’ll stop listening to the newer episodes but will still listen to the older ones

This podcast is so negative. It reeks of negativity. Why even have a podcast or watch the show if you hate it so much. Or better yet, why don’t YOU go in it since you’re such experts. I literally turn it off midway everytime I try listening. It’s too awful. Too grim & so negative. It’s a shame too. It didn’t used to be like this.

I just can’t with this Christian guy on the podcast now. Completely unlistenable. I know Joe loves a snippy mean self-important twink but does he have to impose them in the rest of us. The earlier hosts of AllStars 7 reviews were so funny too.

Usually enjoy this podcast but I can’t get past Jake. I have to turn it off after 10 minutes. I’ll check back to see if Jake and their commentary are gone.

💖

This is absolutely my FAVORITE Drag Race recap show! I’m especially interested in the episodes with Joe and Taylor. The banter between those two is amazing! I specifically love “Just between us girls”! So glad it’s on Apple podcasts now! I also love when Lauri is on, she is an absolute mess and I love it! I have definitely become a fan!

Awkward, clunky, and the main host comes off as rude. Proof that not everyone should Podcast. I found it nearly impossible to listen to.

more lauri

Robert and christian are just so funny together i want to be their friend. Next thing i know the podcast was over! It honestly didnt feel like i listened to them for more than an hour, i was so entertained that it felt shorter. Keep it up guys❤️

Christian is so funny. I was a little sad Jessica was out on this episode but Robert did a great job filling in. Such a funny episode

This is the first time I am watching the show along with listening to the podcast. I’ve always done one and then the other which has been great but this is the best way!! It’s like how eating and then doing edibles is great but eating WHILE doing edibles is the best!

Please bring Lauri back!! It’s just not the same without her. By the way, your new hosts are rude and judgmental. We want Lauri!!!

Love them. Laurie your gf is a narcissist, run.

My boyfriend and I started watching RuPaul‘s drag race during the pandemic and were immediately hooked. When we found Drag Race Recap to listen to along we were saved in quarantine! Joe feels like a hilarious friend now! I’m all in for this Joe Betance!

Joe and Laurie are hilarious together. I could listen to their banter for hours. Laurie often seems befuddled to the point you wonder if she actually watched the episode, but I think that makes it more funny (especially when Joe calls her out for it). You can tell Joe is a super fan whereas Laurie is a casual viewer, so their dynamic is pretty balanced. Highly recommend for anyone who doesn’t take this all too seriously and just wants a good laugh and a solid recap.

Monday’s, or thursdays? Sometimes even Tuesday.

This show might be good if Joe Betance wasn’t the host. He’s mean and he steamrolls the conversation and calls it comedy.

Mmmmm don’t love that you all decide Alexis Mateo needs to be on a tread mill let’s not shame people for normal weight gain and ughhh I don’t think we need a “break” from social justice it’s cute if you think that we need a break while people are dying in the streets maybe idk read the room. If I could give zero stars I would I’m so disappointed in you all.

I’ve listen this show for years, pretty much from the beginning, and trust me I understand that you are trying to get money for your work, but that’s why you got the sponsors, you allready have the long block of commercials, and now all of the sudden without any notice you want people to pay $6.49 a month to listen the recap show? Girl Even $1.00 would be overpriced, what happened to your Patrons? Are they abandoning you in there to? Honestly, Disney+ is $6.99 and the library content is huge, We are talking about millions of dollars in content, your content value is how much? 5K, 6k ok let’s say $10k and I feel generous, well good luck, but I won’t pay anyone for a review show. Not you, world of wonder or anyone else

The host(s) are unnecessarily mean for no reason. They say things that are just insulting and not constructive criticism. They spend a lot of time body shaming and age shaming contestants, and even insulted a contestant’s deceased mother. It’s funny because the guy hosting looks like Pizza the Hut from the movie Spaceballs so he has no room to talk about anyone’s appearance. This is not even worth listening to for background noise (which is why I even listened in the first place). I would give ZERO stars if I could. There’s critique and there’s just straight vitriol. Find the line!

I love listening to all things drag race, and this is a fun recap show! Love the chemistry between Joe and Taylor. Wish they would talk about more serious issues with some nuance, but that doesn’t come up too often.

I loved the show with Joe and Taylor. The Australian podcast is already horrible. Having 3 hosts doesn’t work. Joe never shuts up and they don’t even let Nate talk. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep listening.

I can excuse the constant negativity and jealousy-based hating. But Lauri Roggenkamp is a bigot, focused on the ages of the Pit Crew. They finally start including attractive men of different ages and she repeatedly disses one guy's attractiveness due ONLY to his presumed age. Disgusting. And really, talk about glass houses.

It took a minute but I finally got it! This is a fantastic podcast. Laughs and no apologies for not always being perfectly P.C.

an intelligent look at this show that has grown and changed so much , a show that means so much to so many deserves this level of critique and thought

The hosts speak of “cancel culture” with no nuance. Their talking points are uninformed and their tone is arrogant.

Love listening!!! Additionally...Love love love the UK recap with Ben and Frazer (like razor) !!!!

This podcast used to be good. This seasons’ recap is off putting. The focus and constant nitpicking on one specific Queen and having such a long section dedicated to that is too much. It’s becoming hard to listen to. Feels like too much time is spent on it and it feels like they are looking for any little thing to focus on and find negativity.

Listening to episodes recorded in the summer of 2019 has been hilarious. I almost prefer it this way. Also, I could listen to Lauri workshop improve all day!
