(S2, E6) RuPaul’s Frack Race ft. Wes Fahey
This week’s episode of Pop Culture Boner features our very own producer, Wes Fahey. Because it’s their birthday! Everyone say, “Happy Birthday Wes!” Today we’re talking RuPaul’s Drag Race, mainstream success and whether or not RuPaul should be allowed to frack. It’s great because one of us has seen three episodes and one of us has seen every season so our opinions are wildly different.
