This week, TS Madison is sitting down with the incomparable, Academy Award-nominated actress Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor! 

We get into it all:


Mississippi Roots: Growing up in the South, the realities outsiders miss, her family’s Civil Rights legacy, and using her platform to help remove the Confederate emblem from the Mississippi flag.


Career & Craft: From Undercover Brother to the spiritual force of Lovecraft Country.


“Messy” Opinions: Aunjanue offers a perspective on a certain Oscars moment that sparked worldwide debate. 👀


Living Her Truth: Queerness, unlearning shame, and navigating sexuality outside rigid labels.


Faith vs. Religion: A thoughtful, candid exchange about Christianity, the Bible, and personal belief.


What’s Next: Her role in the upcoming film "'Tis So Sweet" (dir. Tasha Smith) starring Taraji P. Henson and Joey Bada$$, and the Sister Rosetta Tharpe biopic she’s writing—with Mick Jagger producing.

Plus: a little tea about TS Madison's biopic currently in development with Lee Daniels. 👀

“Outlaws” is hosted by TS Madison and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.

Is it on? Is it on?? Honey, is this thing recording?! TS Madison broke the Internet with six seconds and a 22-inch weave. And she didn’t just go viral — she became part of the culture, from "RuPaul's Drag Race" to Beyoncé’s "Renaissance." Her superpower? Her voice. Her kryptonite? Doesn’t exist. Her podcast? The one they never saw coming. Each week on "Outlaws," Madison sits down with living legends and rising stars who shed their armor and own their stories — turning side-eyes into sermons, pain into punchlines, and grief into galaxies. They speak when silence is safer. They dream when told to disappear. And they know what so many are taught to fear: that when you speak your truth, you open a portal. Some episodes will crack you up. Others may crack you open. Keep the tissues nearby, just in case. "Outlaws" is proud to be part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, in partnership with Turtle Run Entertainment.
