Slaying a Drag-a-Thon

People Backstage Are Having a Panic Attack

Listen on

Episode notes

We take on the long list of very strict and very tedious Guinness World Record rules, cast 60 drag performers and 63 emcees for 783 stage changes, kick off an epic spreadsheet battle for songs, discover the meaning of “drag time,” enlist Broadway star Frankie Grande to put the audience to work, devise a list of Hail Mary backup songs, and discover that marathon record attempts are a really, really bad idea.

Featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Peppermint, Frankie Grande, Guinness adjudicator Michael Empiric, many committed and costumed audience members, comedian Fred Armisen, Guinness world record holder Anthony Wallace, Poison Waters, and more.

Slaying a Drag-a-Thon is a sidecast of the We Can't Print This podcast co-produced and co-written by Eden Dawn (narrator) and Fiona McCann. Episode transcripts and additional content at wecantprintthis.com.
