Show Notes
This week, a massive reality TV crossover on Go Fact Yourself!
Jackie Cox turned heads as the first drag queen of Iranian descent to compete on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” She’ll tell us why the show is nothing like an actual drag pageant and why drag is always political. Plus – what it’s like to act in a movie alongside an Oscar-nominated performance!
Dorinda Medley was a cast member of “The Real Housewives of New York” for a little over a decade. Then, in 2023, she swapped her house for a castle to join “The Traitors”. Sadly, she was murdered first (#JusticeForDorinda!). Medley got another shot at redemption when she returned next season. She’ll tell us how these experiences led to her memoir, I Know a Thing or Two About a Thing or Two.
