RuPaul’s Drag Race has slowly become a multimedia juggernaut that has yielded several adjacent TV shows, albums, tours, movies, fan conventions, and yes, even podcasts. From devoted fans to previous contestants, there are countless Drag Race-related podcasts out in the world – some of which are incredibly entertaining and insightful.

If you are looking for different points of view on Drag Race, more insightful takes on drag as a whole, or other people talking about your favorite show and its contestants, then subscribing to a few podcasts might be the thing for you. Read below to discover the very best podcasts related to RuPaul’s Drag Race.

10 What’s The Tee?

The most obvious podcast suggestion for Drag Race fans is What’s The Tee, a weekly podcast that is hosted by RuPaul and Michelle Visage themselves. Since 2014, Ru and Michelle have put out weekly episodes where they discuss various topics, talk about their personal and professional lives, and interview special judges and former contestants from Drag Race.

What’s The Tee is a rare, stripped glimpse into the minds of RuPaul and Michelle Visage, who tend to never break character as judges on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Besides behind-the-scene insights, What’s The Tee showcases the very entertaining chemistry between Ru and Michelle, who hosted a daily radio show for many years in New York City.

9 Race Chaser

The premise of Race Chaser is simple: each week, Willam (season four) and Alaska (season five, All Stars 2) recap the episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race, starting from the very beginning. The pair have already recapped seasons one through four and have also covered the newer seasons that are currently airing on TV.

The dynamic between Alaska and Willam is what makes Race Chaser worth the listen. Alaska, who won All Stars 2 and maintains a great relationship with the franchise, fills the role of diehard fan who is constantly excited by watching (or re-watching) the show. Willam, on the other hand, is often more critical about mishaps and speaks her mind, even when it’s inconvenient. Overall, their opposite-but-complementary dynamic provides a range of opinions that Drag Race fans will certainly appreciate.

8 Sibling Rivalry

When Monet X Change first appeared on season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, many fans quickly pointed out the similarities between her and season eight winner Bob the Drag Queen. As it turns out, Bob and Monet have been great friends for many years, as drag queens in New York City, and have established a dynamic that resembles that of a family.

On Sibling Rivalry, Bob the Drag Queen and Monet X Change talk about just about anything that comes to mind. They have recapped Drag Race episodes, given their takes on controversies in the world of drag, and also discussed more random topics that they had diverging opinions on. Overall, Sibling Rivalry is one of the funniest and most entertaining Drag Race-related podcasts that fans can listen to.

7 Alright Mary

If you are looking for a smart take on the themes and nuances of RuPaul’s Drag Race, then the Alright Mary podcast is definitely the way to go. This weekly podcast, which is hosted by BFFs Colin and Johnny, is heavy on hilarious puns and deep conversations. What makes this podcast stand out from others is that it’s also very kind and fair to the show and its queens, even if that means pointing out wrong behaviors with compassion and intelligence.

Despite the fact that Colin and Johnny are so-called “just fans”, they certainly have an encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise that would easily earn them the title of Drag Race herstorians. If you are interested in analyzing how the ongoing storylines on Drag Race relate to the real world and to the grand scheme of this TV show, look no further than Alright Mary.

6 Drag Her

Nicole Byer, best known for MTV’s Girl Code and Netflix’s Nailed It!, is one of the busiest comedians in Hollywood. At any given time, Nicole is juggling between several tour dates, TV shows, and podcasts, including one about RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Drag Her, which is co-hosted by Nicole Byer and Mano Agapion, aims to recap every episode in the history of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The podcast covers new seasons when they air and recaps older seasons whenever Drag Race isn’t on TV. In true Nicole Byer fashion, Drag Her embraces silliness and positivity during its coverage of the show.

5 The Tea

Chicago-based drag performers T Rex and Lucky Stiff have been orbiting the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe for many years. For instance, T Rex is the host of Drag Race viewing parties at Roscoe’s Tavern, which is largely considered the most highly-coveted viewing party in the country.

Because T Rex and Lucky Stiff have had long-standing relationships with Drag Race contestants, even before they were on the show, they make fantastic interviewers on The Tea. This weekly podcast does not recap RuPaul’s Drag Race – instead, it focuses on interviewing the most prominent drag performers in the United States and covering their day-to-day lives within the drag community.

4 Sloppy Seconds

The Sloppy Seconds podcast is hosted by drag performer Meatball and rapper Big Dipper, who is also known as the producer behind Alaska and Willam’s Race Chaser. Each week, Big Dipper and Meatball discuss a wide range of topics and interview queer artists of all kinds, including former Drag Race contestants.

Despite the fact that Sloppy Seconds is not always about something related to RuPaul’s Drag Race, the podcast has countless interviews with former contestants of the show and exists very much within the overall Drag Race universe. This is a hilarious and NSFW podcast for fans of Drag Race to discover a different side to some of their favorite queens.

3 Whimsically Volatile

Season 7 Miss Congeniality winner and All Stars 2 runner-up Katya created the Whimsically Volatile podcast during a particularly challenging moment in her life. Co-hosted by Craig MacNeil, the podcast started in 2018 as a vehicle for Katya to explain to fans what she was going through and to hash out certain issues on the mic.

Two years later, Katya has bounced back from that difficult time in her life and resumed her activities performing as a drag queen. Now, Whimsically Volatile is in the hands of her dear friend (and drag aficionado) Craig MacNeil, who regularly interviews former Drag Race contestants.

2 Straight Talk

If you’re a fan of Ross Mathews as a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, you’ll surely have a blast listening to Straight Talk, his weekly podcast. Each episode is packed with the signature brand of humor that Ross Mathews has established with his fans.

Straight Talk listeners occasionally hear stories about Ross interacting with Drag Race queens after their time on the show. For instance, the host often watches queens perform in local Palm Springs bars, like Morgan McMichaels and Mayhem Miller, and listeners are able to hear these stories straight from the source.

1 The Official RuPaul’s Drag Race Podcast

With so many RuPaul’s Drag Race recap podcasts out in the wild, the actual team behind the franchise decided to start their own. The Official RuPaul’s Drag Race Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by John Polly, who has been a producer on Drag Race for many years.

Every week, John Polly is joined by a RuPaul’s Drag Race alum to discuss what happened during that week’s episode. Unlike most of the other Drag Race-adjacent podcasts, this one does not have new episodes during the franchise’s off-seasons. Still, it is definitely an entertaining and informative recap show with insights from queens and producers who have made this franchise what it is.
