1.1 : What's a Podcast?
Memphis drag legends Goldie Dee and Allysun Wunderland ponder what a podcast is, why anyone would want to create one, and discuss how RE:Focus fits into the local audio landscape.
1.2 : Popping Off
Get ready for a history lesson: The ladies talk about Memphis-area LGBT+ haunts of yore, but Goldie may not be prepared for some of Allysun’s more salacious stories (just kidding – (she TOTALLY is).
1.3 : Every Vote Counts
With the Shelby County and Tennessee primary elections just behind us, Goldie and Allysun chat about voter turnout, propaganda, belief systems and the nature of the political beast.
1.4 : Life's a Drag
Ever wanted to know what a “Stan” is? Whether a shoe can be gay? Of course you have. Fortunately, Goldie and Allysun are here to educate you. On this episode, the ladies discuss obsessive fans and share stories of their most memorable escapades while looking fierce and fabulous.
1.5 : Fake News
What begins as an earnest discussion of the 24-hour news cycle and media bias quickly devolves into licentious liberties being taken with the phrase “fake news.” Goldie and Allysun also “tumble” through a discussion of the best places to find, erm, adult entertainment online.

In this short episode of Re:Focus, Goldie and Allysun make their way through the crowd at Memphis Pride Fest, stopping occasionally to make the acquaintance of some seriously cool people.

Goldie and Allysun are joined by their Friends of George’s sisters Camille Collins and Bianca Bruchette for a frank discussion of current events and what’s riding on the upcoming midterm elections.
