About this episode
Evan Ross Katz talks to drag performer, actress, and singer Peppermint. Known as the runner-up on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9, Peppermint spills the tea on casting transgender contestants on the show, her appearance on All Stars, and New York City nightlife in the 1990s.
This episode also features an exclusive phone call conversation with Ben Shimkus, the first of seven accusers who have come forward with allegations of catfishing against RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 contestant Sherry Pie, which lead to her disqualification.
The Peppermint interview begins at [00:14:20]
