Tia Kofi hosts The Final FronTia, the podcast where pop culture fandoms collide and we share our biggest obsessions. From the Tardis to the Big Brother house, each week RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner and all-round superfan Tia is joined by the icons, stans and stars who live and breathe queer pop culture — for the behind-the-scenes tea, the passionate deep dives, and to reveal the things they’re secretly fans of.

We are once again LIVE from Edinburgh Fringe and we are joined by two hugely exciting drag queens: Baby Lame and Cherry West are live on The Final FronTia!

As one of the UK's youngest drag queens, Cherry West has burst onto Scotland's drag scene, most recently starring on Series 4 of the BBC series The Agency. Baby Lame is renowned as one of London's top MC's, known for their dark comedy and alternative cabaret. They have multiple award-winning solo shows (including, at this year's Fringe, "Hit Me Baby One More Lame!") and are one of the producers of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia, Baby Lame and Cherry West talk about the fandoms that they're obsessed with: from Drag Race to Big Brother, and the legacy of Rocky Horror. They discuss dream recasting's and how these fandoms have inspired their work today.

They also dive into drag herstory - from Lily Savage to Leigh Bowery, John Waters and the club kids that helped redefine what drag could be. Plus, Baby Lame reveals behind the scenes secrets about Drag Race UK, some of the show's most memorable musical challenges and shares thoughts on what the franchise could do to bring back a little more chaos.

Plus, there's audience questions, a passionate debate about which queens deserve a Drag Race call-up, and a Drag Race quiz!
