Ri-turning ri-freshed for a 2023 ri-boot, Ri talks about the importance of intrinsic self-value, how it is a radical, anti-capitalist act, avoiding burn-out, and their motto for 2023. With patronage, Terry Pratchett's boots, double-glazed eye windows, and Pride.

This week on the Drodgecast, it's H is for... Home. What does 'home' mean, wherever you fall on the identity spectrum? Ri explores the sense of coming home to themselves through some eerie moments of closing the circle. With a tale of two cities, the gender police, emotional paint jobs, and St Bartholemew.

Taking a bonus look at 'Gender Roles' after last week's commentators hogged the show at the Gender Games extravaganza, Ri looks further into the gender soup of the roles we play in society. With gender crampons, women beamed in from outer-space, and drag queen tank divisions.

This week, it's the letter G, and G is for... 'Gender Roles'. What are the roles that we take on, are given in society, and how might they shape us? How might we shape them going forward? This is societal analysis with a twist, and two very special, drag-tacular guests....with bloody Iceland, has Ireland ever had a female PM, gender blindness, gaycakeries, and pots of water and Margaret Thatcher.

With queer Ancient Greece, Eastenders on acid, 666-sided dice, string, wiggling, and an old man who's never been to Brighton.
