All the women, who independent — throw your hands up at Lindy and Meagan because they are the Independent Women (Pt. 1) that Destiny’s Child foretold.

That’s right, our beautiful partnership with KUOW is coming to a close — but never fear! The podcast will continue as an independent production.

This week’s episode is a banger of a send-off, with special guest BenDeLaCreme, world famous drag queen best known for her time on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6, All Stars, and the exceptional Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Special.

DeLa teaches us how to gain icon status, and we play a very special game of FMK featuring ... Dame Maggie Smith???
