Trixie Mattel is a drag queen with an empire: a makeup line, a renovation show and a country music career. But before Trixie there was Brian Firkus, a small-town Wisconsin boy who played with Barbies and yearned for a life with the same potential and beauty. Trixie tells Sam stories about her upbringing, the first time she ever performed drag, and what her bff Katya has taught her about working less and playing more.

Rebecca Sugar changed the world of animation with their hit Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. It redefined what stories children deserve to experience with themes of self love and family trauma. And it was groundbreaking for its representation of queer, nonbinary characters - it even included one of the first same sex marriages to appear in a cartoon for young people. Rebecca joins Sam to share how the animated series helped them process their own identity and what they’ve had to overcome to write music for their first solo album, Spiral Bound.
