Tia Kofi hosts The Final FronTia, the new podcast where the worlds of Geeky-ness and Drag collide for an unforgettable experience. The Glamorous Geek will be joined by pop culture's biggest stars and the universe's top fans to talk about the moments that made them, behind the scenes tea and their geeky guilty pleasures.

She's a Canada's Drag Race winner, design queen and self-described main character — Van Goth joins Tia Kofi on this episode of The Final FronTia!

The winner of Canada's Drag Race Season 6 and a standout on RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World, Van Goth made her mark as the most decorated Canadian contestant in the franchise's history — racking up four challenge wins in a single season through razor-sharp fashion instincts, a fearless mouth and an almost accidental talent for producing television gold.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Van dive deep into what it means to win a season of Drag Race and then have to live with it online — the "robbed" discourse, the body commentary, the fandom's obsession with lip syncs above all else and why Van would rather delete Twitter than let any of it get to her.

She also reveals, for the first time, the secret pact she made with Marina on UK vs The World - and exactly why she thinks Marina made the choice she did in that final lip sync.

There's candid chat about the Drag Race experience itself: the gruelling exhaustion of the final stretch, the surreal gap between filming your crowning and watching it air, and the particular cruelty of finding out the result in real time in front of a live audience.

Along the way, the conversation takes in Justin Trudeau's Coachella era, body image, a deeply relatable fear of needles, and a Gothic quiz... Van Goth's Dark Mastermind!
