INTERVIEW: Cheryl Hole Debuts New Podcast “Girl Group Gossip”
I caught up with RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Cheryl Hole about her new World of Wonder podcast ‘Girl Group Gossip’, as well digital drag and upcoming performances for WERRRK.com. Each week on ‘Girl Group Gossip’, Cheryl and a special guest will discuss iconic Girl Groups in depth. The first episode is out now on all major podcast platforms, featuring Blu Hydrangea.
Hi Cheryl! I’m very excited to speak to you today! To be honest, hearing any new human voice is a huge treat at the moment… how have you been keeping busy over these last few months?
Do you know what? I was thinking that lockdown was going to be one of those quiet times where you can just learn to crochet and do fun stuff like that. But the age of digital drag has really taken off, so I’ve been twirling in my living room for the kids every single night basically.
I was going to say I noticed you had been busy with digital drag! You have a Chromatica themed show coming up for Digital Pride next week. How has it been adapting drag to a digital setting?
I do indeed! It’s one of those things that I’ve always wanted to explore with my drag. I see so many creative artists like Juno Birch etc. that have such a strong online presence, they do such strong editing with their videos and I would love to have done that. But when you’re on the road, you don’t really have the time because you’re going from city to city and then you’re turning up and doing the gig, so I’ve really used this time to hone my skills and learn new skills, like editing. It’s been quite strange performing to a little green dot on your MacBook!
