READERS, school is back in session and so are we! Not content to leave you hanging, Kyle and Dr. Ben dust off their seats at the Shade Table to recap their thoughts on the remainder of one of their favorite regular seasons in a while (even if the narrative conclusion left a little bit to be desired). Join us ahead of our still-to-be-determined cadence for our RuCaps of Global All Stars with this Season 16 sum-up! (music: bensound.com)

At this point READERS, the dawls are the DAWLS! Avid dawl collector and fellow Aries Yair joins Kyle as they discuss their childhood journeys with toys and dolls, what aspects a collector looks for when expanding on their collection, the joys of getting a fresh challenge sixteen seasons into the franchise, and the many varied outcomes with the queens' foray into creating, branding and selling their signature limited edition dolls! Did the judges get it right? Which doll did you most want to add to your collection? (music: bensound.com)

Down on your knees READERS - Mother is in the spotlight! What happens when Kyle (who's kind of a bitch) and Keith (who puts your man on a leash) are drinking, having Keith cookies, and talking about made up Swedish bands? It means they're also talking latex for a mini challenge, self-producing girlies who don't think fully through their edits, being picked last in gym class, and the satisfaction of an underestimated underdog edit coming to fruition! Along with pussycat wigs (and mushroom, bus driver, Marcel finger wave and bowl cut wigs pretending to be pussycat wigs), we've got a quick (for...

READERS - for the Mother of All Balls, who would you have summoned to the Shade Table? ("...Pass!") Kyle is joined by Keith, Ben and Holly for a 3 hour deep dive into the season so far, being kindofabitch, those WHO AIN'T NO DIVAAAAAA, what offended them about the various presentations of the episode (spoiler alert - there's a lot of things!) and opinions on all FORTY TWO! looks from Season 16's first full cast challenge, The Mother Ball! Who are your Mother Goose and Significant Mothers, and do you agree with the final Rate-A-Queen results? Were the right winner and Porkchop selected? Let us...

READERS, we've got more summer reading for your nerves! Kyle and Keith are joined by The Bronx's premiere andrologist Ricardo Cabanas at the Shade Table, having buzzballs and Strawberritas and a slew of various Drag Race opinions. We talk about Ricardo's job of helping people make babies, the revolving door of Hell's Kitchen gay bars, how to see Beyonce twice (Kyle's not bitter), and our thoughts on the outcome of the back half of All Stars 8. How did y'all find this season readers? And which franchise are you enjoying most (and should we cover next?) (music: bensound.com)

Because you're holding up podcasting, green means GO!  READERS, it's our longest episode ever but I promise it's for all the right reasons - Kyle's joined at the Shade Table with Ben and Tom McDonald of bookseller fame to wax poetic about the greatest all-around performer of our time, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter. We do a deep dive from the Destiny's Child days through the first 4 albums of her solo career, and of course talk about the *experience* Kyle and Ben had at the Renaissance World Tour. (We also spend time at the top talking about astrology, working at bookstores and some of...

Happy Zaddy's Day, READERS! One of the longest episodes of The Shade Of It All to date is here for all of the best reasons: via satellite call from Lebanon, the humble, honest, humongously talented, handsome and hot Haaz Sleiman joins (a VERY geeked and internally fanboying) Kyle at the Shade Table! Adorable nieces and brief internet outages were no match for a full-range conversation, discussing Haaz's introduction to acting, the other actors whose work inspires him, which of his roles led to him owning a custom $1k human hair wig, and being named a Daddy by Queerty for Father's Day this...

Helping to sum up the first full MTV season, Kyle is joined by recurring Shade Table fixture Keith Avery to talk about the fashions, the interviews, the performances, the injuries, the tantrums and the definitely not at all expected outcome of the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15! We also chat about what this means in this moment, what it means for the future of the franchise, and give some flowers to our stars of the season, all while laughing far more than we have any right to. Are you satisfied with the outcome readers? And do you have any opinions on what season we should cover next, since the Drag Race machine is running full steam ahead?
