Is it hot in here, or is it just King Molasses? The first King of Drag talks about why they almost didn’t audition in the first place and the kind of pressure they felt to make sure the first season of a new kind of reality drag show was the best it could be. Yvie and Molasses compare and contrast their experiences with reality tv, the performance industry, and how misogyny still shapes the way culture understands both drag kings and queens. Molasses also talks about how a broader art-making practice informs their approach to drag, and why dreaming matters so much right now.  Plus, Ryan’s excited for Zohran Mamdani’s win and wondering: what happens next? Listen up girls, we’re getting inspirational today.

RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Yvie Oddly and culture critic Ryan Mitchell host HIGHKEY! — a boldly queer LGBTQ+ podcast where pop culture, chaos, and surprisingly real conversations collide.

It’s like being a fly on the wall for the most unhinged, hilarious, and heartfelt side convo at the party — with past guests like Laverne Cox, Rico Nasty, Bob the Drag Queen, and Lena Waithe, and more queer icons on the way.

Welcome to the party — BYOB, pull up a chair, and settle in because this one’s just getting started.
