Don't call it a comeback, actually you totally can, that's what it is. Amber and Rax are back to talk about the most important cultural event happening right now, that's right, we're talking about Red Lobster filing for bankruptcy. We just had to come back from hiatus to look into this because something about the headlines smelled...shrimpy. Of course before we get to that we spend about half the podcast catching up, and after we spend a third of the podcast griping, so you get like a quarter or something (we don't do math) of Red Lobster content. Which is all you really need because it's a story as old as time.

But if you want to read more about it we (Rax) read these articles, Amber read Rax's outline:

• The forgotten racial history of Red Lobster - Nathaniel Meyersohn for CNN

• Red Lobster, an American Seafood Institution, Files for Bankruptcy - Ali Watkins for NYT

• Red Lobster and Waffles - Jordan Lebeau, NYT

• The Fishy Death of Red Lobster - Emily Stewart, Business Insider

• If Red Lobster dies, part of me will, too - John Semley, Toronto Star

Rax and author Elyssa Maxx Goodman discuss drag from 17th century kabuki theater to RuPaul's Drag Race and pandemic-born Zoom drag shows, all as told in Elyssa's forthcoming book "Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York"! The book comes out on 9/12 and is a must-read for anyone who loves, duh, glitter and concrete.
