The castle is getting some NEW BLOOD, so naturally… we had to draft teams. 🏰

Will and Jhoany officially kick off their The Traitors: New Blood Fantasy Draft, choosing contestants based on bios, trailer vibes, strategy potential—and yes, attractiveness definitely influenced at least one team. 😂

We break down our first impressions of the new cast, debate whether a civilian season can live up to the celebrity chaos of The Traitors Season 4, and ask the most important question: Would you rather en...

Three episodes into The Challenge: Cutthroat and MAAM… this season is already a MESS. 😭

Will & Jhoany are breaking down Episodes 1–3, and there is PLENTY to discuss. Is Josh playing The Challenge or Love Island? Did Nurys make the right move confronting Adrienne and Josh? Did Cara Maria intentionally sabotage the Blue Team? And HOW did Brad end up getting tossed around the elimination arena like a rag doll?! 💀

We’re also getting into:

This week on NO MA'AM, we're recapping Project Runway Season 22 Episode 4, and the biggest conversation isn't just about the runway, it's about the judges.

We discuss whether Law Roach has been unfairly critical of Joseph McCrae, Andre's unexpected elimination, Bobby surviving despite one of our least favorite looks, and whether Season 22 is missing the jaw-dropping fashion moments we've come to expect from Project Runway.

Plus, we reveal our favorite runway looks, update our Project Runway Fa...

The designers are officially settling into the competition—and so is the drama. 👀✂️

This season, we're shaking things up by hosting our very own Project Runway Season 22 Fantasy Draft.

Season 2 is HERE and baby… we’ve got a lot to talk about.

After taking a much-needed break, Will and Jhoany are back behind the mic and ready to get into everything — from the podcast rebrand to the conversations EVERY gay is having right now.

This week we’re diving into:
✨ The NO MA’AM Podcast rebrand (new era, who this?!)
✨ Common gay body types — Twinks vs Bears… let’s talk about it 👀

Classic pressure-cooker sewing week is back, and Ru said: build a full runway look from a bag of scraps tied to eliminated queens’ leftovers. With Iman on the panel, it’s all about silhouette, proportions, and who can actually wear the garment.

In this recap, we get into:

The Reading Is Fundamental mini-challenge (library stays OPEN)

The design challenge chaos: who can construct, who can style, and who can sell a rough brief

Werk Room energy, runway hits, and the looks that needed more than ...

On this episode of NO MAAM we’re joined by Olympia — a New York City drag artist with pageant precision, group excellence, and a point of view that does not play.

Olympia breaks down what people think drag is versus what it actually requires: the creative process, the competition mindset, the behind-the-scenes labor, and the real costs (money, preparation, politics, and community). We also talk about the extra layers that come with navigating “inclusive” rooms as an all-POC collective through t...

Six players left. One swing vote. And a finale that turns into a masterclass in endgame manipulation.

In this recap, we get into:

The final “public” murder and what it set up

Why everyone was fighting for Maura
The last mission that took the pot to $220,800
The Round Table tie that changes everything

The Fire of Truth betrayal that made the ending feel personal

And the final reveal: Rob takes it all
Question: Was Maura played… or did she play herself?

Fear Isn’t an Alibi. This week’s headlines had excuses on deck, but we’re not doing that.

In this episode of NO MAAM Podcast, we react (not recap) to three stories:

Shia LaBeouf’s post-arrest comments and the tired “I was scared” excuse for homophobia

The Puerto Vallarta cartel unrest panic, and the “escape to Mexico” entitlement discourse

The BAFTAs incident where the N-word was shouted on-air, and what accountability looks like without ableism or anti-Blackness

One question runs through t...

This week on NO MA’AM, we’re joined by the stunning and outspoken Afrosephone Applegate, aka The Bronze Blonde, for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, reflective, and real.

Afrosephone talks about her evolution as a drag performer, navigating identity in the spotlight, and how COVID reshaped New York City’s nightlife scene. We discuss why solidarity—especially in support of trans women—has to be more than a buzzword in the LGBTQ+ community.

She also shares candid thoughts on dating a...

Valentine’s Day feels different when you’re queer.

This week, NO MA’AM is joined by Ryan and Dario from Live Laugh Loads for an honest conversation about modern queer love. From ghosting and hookup culture to therapy, vulnerability, and raising your standards — we’re asking the real question:

Are we dating… or just trauma bonding?

We explore how emotional wounds show up in relationships, why communication matters more than ever, and how finding community can be one of the most healing experie...

When the Barbz meet the red hats, we gotta talk about it
Nicki posted that gold card and the internet said "Welp." From Chun-Li to MAGA rally? We're breaking down how pop culture's biggest stars are cozying up to politics that don't love us back.

Is it the money? The access? Or are we watching our faves forget who got them there?

This week on NO MAAM Podcast, we’re recapping RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18, Episode 3 — the infamous RDR Live challenge… and whew, was it rough.

Episodes 4 & 5 of The Traitors Season 4 took us on an emotional rollercoaster — and NO MA’AM had to debrief immediately.

We talk Tiffany’s emotional roundtable exit, the shock (and devastation) of Monét X Change being murdered by the Traitors, and why that loss hit different. We also unpack Colton Underwood using his coming-out story as gameplay, plus the long-awaited departure of Michael Rapaport.

Strategy, emotions, side-eye, and queer commentary — it’s all here.

The queens go full Q-POP — and the Q stands for QUEER 💖

On this episode of NO MA’AM Podcast, Will & Jhoany recap RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18, Episode 2, where the cast is split into Q-Pop girl groups to battle it out in vocals, choreography, and charisma.

But did they deliver K-Pop level excellence…
or was it giving NO POP? 👀

We spill all the tea on:

Which group actually served star power

Who was struggling to keep up

The queens who are already pulling ahead

And the performances that had...

We took a little holiday break — but we’re back just in time to talk about the penultimate episode of Canada’s Drag Race Season 6, and the stakes could not be higher.

This week, the queens were judged on the four pillars of drag excellence: Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent, and Will & Jhoany are here to dissect who actually delivered and who might’ve peaked too soon.

Is this the Top 4 we expected when the season started?
Who’s walking into the finale with real winner momentum?
