Welcome to The Things That Made Me Queer, a podcast from Crystal (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 1) and World of Wonder which explores moments from her guests’ lives that helped shape their queer identities and set them on a path to embrace their queerness.

From fantastic and flamboyant moments in pop culture, through to subtle soundtracks that rippled through gay subcultures, and TV characters that sparked sexual awakenings, Crystal and her guests pinpoint the people, places, anthems and experiences that had a profound impact on their queer development.

Throughout each episode, Crystal will delve into her guests’ histories and uncover the unheard, colourful, tender and powerful stories from their lives, highlighting iconic moments in queer culture and leaving the listener reminiscing about their own journeys.

Some notable guests of The Things That Made Me Queer have included Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Shea Coulee and Detox (Ru Paul’s Drag Race) and JD Samson (Le Tigre).

For this special London Podcast Festival live episode, Crystal will be joined by special guest Tia Kofi, one of the most popular queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 2.
