About this listen

Peppermint joins the pod and tells all. Peppermint takes us behind the scenes of Survival of the Thickest, working with Michelle Buteau, why she did not think the show would be a hit, how the writer’s strike blocked the cast from doing press season one, and her character becoming the main storyline in season two. Peppermint serves up tea on The Traitors, the cast fighting for camera time, conspiring to get her eliminated, and the inherent biases that play a role when it comes to voting people off reality tv. Peppermint opens up about everything from being the first trans contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race to her new documentary, Heightened Scrutiny, which exposes the media's narratives impacting public perception of transgender rights. We vent about social media making everyone insecure and bigoted, and sadly, how every minority group is under attack today.
