The Chariot in Drag w/ Kochina Rude

This is going to be a big May for us - TWO EPISODES.
We begin with the Chariot in Drag, because we believe in the vessel.
We did the Chariot Episode earlier this season with Indy Srinath which you can see here
Kochina Rude is a drag queen, vocalist, and emcee based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kochina’s distinct hard-femme style is fueled by an upbringing of punk rock coupled with Chicano culture.

Kochina is a cohost for weekly drag show “Princess” at SF Oasis, and also provides vocals for Bay Area punk band Lolly Gaggers. Offstage, she is a harm reduction activist, public health worker, and sexual health educator.

From the Desert to the Drag Club - I am so beyond inspired by Kochina. We talk about Drag and Drugs - and the work of Harm Reduction. This episode is inspired by the vessel of the craft. By the transformation that takes forth.
If you enjoy these episodes - please review us. We love sharing written reviews out loud - and it really supports the continuation of this podcast. We are grateful for those that look forward to our monthly episodes - and are deeply grateful for all the love.
The best news - We will be back for Season III. Stay tuned for future episodes as more unfolds with a brand new show format, cover art, and new co-host. More to come, stay tuned.
