“Recycle, reuse, and reduce. And rein-in carbon on the loose. Pack your bags just in case. Prepare to go to outerspace!” While the health of our planet is concerning, inequities continue to pervade our societies and cultures today. In trying to build a world where all life can thrive, music, performance, and drag serve as mediums through which systemic change can occur. 

In this episode, “Terraformin’ Drag,” Chris Goodrich (who performs in drag as Analee Fisher, @analeefisher), tells a story about his parody song “Terraformin’ Mars,” and how the political energy of drag can be important to environmental advocacy. Goodrich, in conversation with Cacophony Daniels (“The Belty Broad from Broadway,” @cacophonydaniels), discusses the history of drag, its current political spotlight, and the ways that queer voices and perspectives are crucial to shaping a better future.
