The Final FronTia with Tia Kofi

The year might be coming to an end, but we're not slowing down on The Final FronTia! You might recognise her from this years edition of RuPaul's Drag Race UK... Paige Three is on the show!As the drag daughter of Drag Race S15 winner Sasha Colby, Paige Three is technically the drag sister of Chappell Roan! Well, as she proved on Drag Race, this queen deserves to be moved from page three to front page news!On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Paige go from the heartfelt to the hilarious - from late-night gigs to navigating drag outside the reality TV pipeline, the importance of demonstrating queer joy as a form of resistance and the how to stay soft in an industry that doesn’t always make room for it.Paige also opens up about building a career on her own terms - sequins, vulnerability and all - and they play a Drag Race-themed quiz!Follow The Final FronTiaInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefinalfrontiapod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefinalfrontia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TheFinalFronTiaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're serving a wonderfully chaotic episode of The Final FronTia filled with deep dives, Eurovision and the strange bubble of being famous for a week. Richie Anderson is on the show!Richie Anderson is a much-loved British TV and radio presenter - best known for his appearances on BBC Radio 2, The One Show and, of course, the BBC's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. Richie also competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, and is the new host of the iconic show Escape To The Country.On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Richie cover everything from Eurovision's turquoise carpets to pop girl politics. They fangirl over icons (everyone from Ariana Grande to Cheryl Baker), wonder why some songs feel like Christmas music when you hear them out of season and Richie gives a peek into life inside the Eurovision circus.Plus: an ill-fated TikTok livestream, a surprisingly emotional Gavin & Stacey–era Eurovision memory, and a countryside-themed game that proves Richie is still bad at quizzes.Follow The Final FronTiaInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefinalfrontiapod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefinalfrontia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TheFinalFronTiaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
