A Rant on Our Spirits (RuPaul's Drag Race: S11, Ep. 6)

Happy Tuesday, Scorekeepers! Welcome to another episode of THE SCORE! This week, we take another step on our journey through Season 11 of RuPaul's Drag Race and this week's stop is Episode 6: The Draglympics (0:38:52). And if the Trump episode was the worst episode we've ever seen, this one is definitely the most confounding. Now we aren't left speechless very often, but this one left us with more questions than answers. Namely, why? Also, how dare you? But before we get to all that, what started as a little RFK, Jr. shade turned into the rant of all rants (0:04:00). So if you're also frustrated about having to live through all these absurd and unprecedented events, come have a seat and exorcise some demons with us. Why scream into a pillow when you've got a podcast mic, right? All that, plus an exciting little Pure Black Joy (1:23:27) to set you straight before you head back out there. Let's do it to it, y'all!

Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds

About the Podcast

The Score
News and commentary about art and pop culture seen through a Black and queer lens
It's time to put the arts on game! Hosts Lee Bynum, Paige Reynolds, and Rocky Jones are three Black, queer artists and pop culture aficionados, who are working every day to bring more diversity, equity, and inclusivity into the arts. Noted by The New York Times as one of the "Podcasts Opera Pros Tune To" in 2021, The Score is their provocative, thoughtful, and humorous commentary on the industry's past, present, and future, as seen through an antiracist and unapologetically Black and queer lens. Each episode features a variety of stories from a variety of perspectives that bring People of the Global Majority, queer, trans and nonbinary folks, and everyone else into the discussion of ownership over and access to the arts. From the opera house to the statehouse to your house, each episode will amplify the voices of those in the field who are pushing the boundaries of what opera is, who it is for, and how it can transform us and our communities.
