The Pastie Tapes: A Burlesque Podcast TRAILER feat. Burlesque Legend MARINKA

Episode Notes:

Hello and welcome to The Pastie Tapes! To new listeners - I'm so glad you're here. To long time fans, thank you for being along for the ride. The show has evolved a lot over the last 18 months and I figured it was time for a trailer refresh. What better way to talk about the show than to hear me pitch the podcast to burlesque legend, Queen of the Amazons - Marinka! In this trailer you'll hear me reflect on the show as well as dial in to Marinka who gives me INCREDIBLE advice. To learn more about this beautiful legend, listen to her full episode with Lily Star (to be released 11/12/2020) and purchase her autobiography at www.MarinkaBook.com

About The Pastie Tapes:

The Q&A for the T&A, The Pastie Tapes is a podcast dedicated to burlesque origin stories. Burlesque performers nearly bare it all on stage - but sometimes we want a little talk to go with that walk. Who IS this performer? What’s their story? What do they have to say? What do they actually sound like?! TPT uncovers glittery nuggets of wisdom and insights through thoughtful questions and engaging dialogue with host & producer Siomai Moore. In each episode, burlesque performers & industry figures reveal their burlesque origin story, tease with tales from behind the scenes, and strip down to the naked truth of life on stage.
