Remix - Heroine

Art at the End of the World

The New Classical FM's Mark Wigmore has repackaged, reimagined and remixed conversations he has had on-air and during the first season of the "Art at the End of the World" podcast for this special set of encore presentations on the Zoomer Podcast Network! Drag performer Heroine (Matteo Cassano) speaks to Mark about the last 12 years working the Drag clubs & stages of Toronto, the creativity needed to build a memorable persona, and what it takes to be a successful drag queen in the modern era. She also shares thoughts on gender, sexuality, and identity and recounts several violent run-ins that prove there's a long way to go when it comes to LGBTQ safety and equality. Plus, 5 quintessential drag anthems, and a no-nonsense take on RuPaul's Drag Race. This episode is brought to you by Crow's Theatre (www.crowstheatre.com) & RedEye Media (www.redeyemedia.ca)
