Five-time Grammy and Emmy nominated comedian, actress, and activist — and one of Vogue's Best Female Comedians of All Time, right alongside Joan Rivers and Gilda Radner — Margaret Cho joins TS Madison in the "Outlaws" studio for an unforgettable episode. She's fresh off being cast in "Percy Jackson" Season 2 alongside Sandra Bernhard and Kristen Schaal, starring in Greg Araki's new film "I Want Your Sex" with Olivia Wilde and Charli XCX, and touring her brand new stand-up show "CHOLIGARCHY" — where she's fighting fascism one joke at a time. Madison opens by honoring Margaret as a personal inspiration — and reveals the two already have history: a moment backstage at GLAAD where Margaret didn't need an introduction because she'd been following Madison for years. This episode gets into everything past, present, and future: Margaret unpacks happened when network executives greenlit a show based on her life and then decided she was too fat to play herself — and how Hollywood's playbook still hasn't changed. Fast forward to today, she talks death threats, Homeland Security, and what it's like to be a loud, queer, Asian American woman with a decades-long target on her back, having built a career on not only making people laugh but also fearlessly speaking truth to power. Also: a state of the union regarding the trans community in America, Dave Chappelle, surviving abuse, comedy as a weapon, the Diddy trial, and Margaret's "wet and woke" vision for the future.

The AUNTIE is HERE!!! Wilken, bienvenue, welcome to the one and only, multihyphenate, international sensation, MC extraordinaire, Billy Porter! Billy Porter is no stranger to shattering glass ceilings, and it took work to get there. A fateful screening of “The Wiz” plus a love for music lead him to find his calling in musical theatre, and a now critically acclaimed career from “Kinky Boots” and “Pose” to making history on London’s West End. It wasn’t always easy– Billy opens up about traumatic childhood experiences, and how those experiences shaped the man he is today. And he’s still fighting strong! Billy talks making art and living out his dreams despite whatever roadblocks life throws his way– including a near death experience from sepsis last fall. Also: Billy and Maddie get into keeping it real vs. taking the PR route; when kikiing gets taken out of context; why artists need better labor protections; and surviving the political reality of the past 10 years. Plus…we see you in the comments asking for longer episodes. We’re excited to announce our brand new Patreon exclusive, “Still Recording”! Get more Maddie from your favorite interviews.

Grammy-winning songwriter, Broadway star, producer, and the longest-running Real Housewife in franchise history — Kandi Burruss sits down with TS Madison for a deeply personal conversation about building an empire, surviving the villain edit, and coming out of the matrix. Madison kicks things off by honoring Kandi as the first person to introduce her to mainstream media, and from there, it's all love, all real, and all business. Kandi TALKS HER SHIT like we've NEVER heard before — running down a résumé that stretches from signing with Xscape at 16, to writing "No Scrubs" for TLC, to becoming the first Black woman to win ASCAP's Songwriter of the Year award. Add in 14 straight seasons of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," a Grammy, a Tony nomination, an Emmy nomination, winning "The Masked Singer," an adult entertainment empire (yes, she has the awards to prove it), and five Broadway productions — including the record-breaking "Othello" with Denzel Washington, currently "& Juliet," and the upcoming "Joe Turner's Come and Gone" starring Taraji P. Henson and directed by Debbie Allen. Then, the conversation goes there. Kandi opens up about her divorce from Todd Tucker, addressing the rumors, the prenup speculation, and the internet lawyers who don't even practice in Georgia. She sets the record straight — and she's not here to confirm or deny anything else. She also gets candid about what it's been like to always be cast as the villain — from middle school, to Xscape, to the Housewives reunion couch — and what it takes to keep pushing when people project their issues onto your success. Also in this episode: Would Kandi ever return to RHOA? (Not right now, honey.) Which Housewives friendships were real? (Kenya and Cynthia made the cut.) What would she ask NeNe Leakes if they sat down together? (Spoiler: "What did I do to you?") And could we see an all-Black reimagining of "Little Shop of Horrors" starring TS Madison as Audrey II? Kandi says she's interested — and we are manifesting this into existence. It's not too late to catch Kandi on Broadway, starring in "& Juliet!" at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre until March 8, 2026.

Alexis Sno, for an incredible episode of "Outlaws" that's all about Black queer excellence, survival, and motherhood. In this episode: Lexy and Maddie talk "booster" culture, going viral, and remembering the late Cookie Tookie and their complicated sisterhood. They dive deep into Philly's ballroom scene, where "chosen family" is not just a nice phrase but a stark reality for many, the nuances of gender identity, the "transgender umbrella," what transitioning meant then vs. now, and a hot take on Ms. Caitlyn Jenner. Also: the thrill of "realness" pumps, dating as a trans woman and the life-or-death risks of disclosure and dating safety; Lexy’s role as the Overall Mother of the House of Khan, and why Lexy and Maddie are embracing their gray hair and status as mentors for the next generation.

This week, TS Madison is sitting down with the incomparable, Academy Award-nominated actress Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor!

Career & Craft: From Undercover Brother to the spiritual force of Lovecraft Country. “Messy” Opinions: Aunjanue offers a perspective on a certain Oscars moment that sparked worldwide debate. 👀 Living Her Truth: Queerness, unlearning shame, and navigating sexuality outside rigid labels.

A re-release of one of our most important Outlaws episodes. U.S. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett finds a pocket of time between floor votes at the U.S. House of Representatives to join TS Madison for a powerful, no-nonsense conversation about the pivotal era of American History that we are living through. We are deeply proud to have Representative Crockett as part of the "Outlaws" story. We’ll be back with brand-new episodes on January 20th, 2026, but in the meantime we feel strongly that this one is worth a second listen. We recorded this conversation on the very day our series premiere with Tina Knowles aired, before the show had even found its footing or audience. Congresswoman Crockett enthusiastically showed up anyway, and that kind of solidarity with TS Madison and her following is something we will never forget. Now, as she runs for the U.S. Senate, and as we face Year 2 of the current administration, her words of wisdom in this episode feel even more urgent and enduring. In this episode, Madison speaks candidly about her fears for democracy and for the safety of not only trans community, but also for leaders such as Rep. Crockett who continue to fearlessly advocate for the most vulnerable among us. Rep. Crockett breaks down how she handles the current President’s constant attacks on her intelligence and why he seems so fixated on her when there is so much else burning. Together, they unpack the “find out” phase the country is living through, Project 2025, and what it means to keep showing up when you are being dismissed not just by the other side, but by people who are supposed to be on yours. They also talk about the dangerous complacency of the “we survived Trump 1.0, we’ll be fine” crowd who are now eating their words; what it's like to live between D.C., Texas, and the sky; Elon Musk; and what it costs to be a Black woman in public life who refuses to shrink. Rep. Crockett reflects on the irony that the constituents in rural communities are the ones most dependent on things she fights for, like SNAP benefits, yet are often represented by politicians actively working to gut it. As Rep. Crockett now runs for the U.S. Senate, this clear-eyed conversation beautifully exemplifies why voices like hers matter so much right now.

“Outlaws” is starting 2026 out strong, with TS Madison’s dear friends, superstar power couple Da Brat-tat-tat and Kaleidoscope Hair Products CEO Jesseca “Judy” Dupart! In the spirit of Capricorn season, we get marketing 101 from Judy and what she taught TS Madison about personal branding. It was a brand deal that brought this couple together– the pair tell us how a rapper and a beauty mogul fell in love out of the public eye, from a business meeting turned date to a “Coming to America” style proposal to launching a reality TV series together. Next, Da Brat gets into her decision to keep her sexuality private during her early fame, why she felt it was an act of protection rather than hiding, and how Judy inspired her to come out publicly. And we’re rewinding even further back, as Judy breaks down her 2007 arrest and what she learned in prison. Also: Unlearning stereotypes; why Da Brat doesn’t consider herself a Stud; fire sign/air sign romance; how “Brat Loves Judy” came to be; and navigating pregnancy on TV. Plus a sneak peak and Da Brat and Judy’s upcoming memoir, “The Way Love Goes: A Guide to Building a ‘Beaurtiful’ and Everlasting Relationship”, out next month! Pre-order now! "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment. Is it on? Is it on?? Honey, is this thing recording?! TS Madison broke the Internet with six seconds and a 22-inch weave. And she didn’t just go viral — she became part of the culture, from “RuPaul's Drag Race” to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance.” Her superpower? Her voice. Her kryptonite? Doesn’t exist. Her podcast? The one they never saw coming. Each week on “Outlaws,” Madison sits down with living legends and rising stars who shed their armor and own their stories — turning side-eyes into sermons, pain into punchlines, and grief into galaxies. They speak when silence is safer. They dream when told to disappear. And they know what so many are taught to fear: that when you speak your truth, you open a portal.

TS Madison is joined by actor, model, songwriter, music producer, trans icon, (and Miss Mary’s celebrity crush), Laith Ashley! On “Outlaws,” we want to open up a space for guests to break their identity and discuss the big issues in the LGBTQ+ community. With a background in social work for queer youth and too many “first trans man to–” labels to count (not to mention, a Taylor Swift music video appearance), Laith is the perfect guest to get into the trans experience. Laith opens up about his early experiences with gender nonconformity, messaging around not being “feminine” enough, and eventually growing into his identity as a trans man. He and Maddie discuss their respective experiences being trans entertainers in the spotlight– including the lessons they’ve learned both from within and outside of the community. Also: The fluidity of labels; why Laith identifies as “Afro-Caribbean” rather than “Latino”; T4T relationships; how anti-intellectualism and transphobia feed off of each other; the importance of sexual health education; and a brief interlude on the US’s imperial history. And Maddie says this discussion is not over… maybe a part 2 in the New Year?

It's the season of GIVING! And so, in the spirit of the holidays, we’re giving you not just one but TWO episodes this week. This special bonus episode is with TS Madison’s longtime manager, the incredible Leggra Colón—and it's available exclusively on our audio platforms. Leggra is a KEY member of the TS Madison multiverse, the Capricorn energy to Maddie’s Libra brilliance, but today we’re digging into Leggra’s origin story. She’s been a high achiever since childhood. In this episode, Leggra talks the pivotal moments, mistakes, and learning opportunities that led her to where she is today. She also opens up about her cancer diagnosis and recovery, the decision to keep her diagnosis private, and how hearing the “C" Word changed her perspective. We also get a behind the scenes look at Leggra and Maddie’s relationship– both professionally and as close friends– including some insight into what “The TS Madison Experience” had left on the cutting room floor. We’re getting the full story of how Maddie and Leggra met– sometimes you think you need a new car but what you really need is a new manager. Plus: Lessons Maddie and Leggra learned from their mamas; unconventional career paths; marriage and divorce; the Kama Sutra; fighting the hate between cis and trans Black women; societal disregard for aging women; and fighting back against bigotry coming from the White House. "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, TS Madison sits down with restaurateur, author, and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kelli Ferrell for one of the funniest, realest, and most triumphant conversations of the season. From running Nana’s Chicken & Waffles to rebuilding her life after a divorce that nearly cost her half a million dollars, Kelli keeps it all the way real about what it takes to lose everything — and build it back better. What starts as a kiki about grits and mimosa mixes turns into a masterclass in faith, business, and self-worth. Madison and Kelli swap stories about men who steal (literally and spiritually), the art of leaving with nothing but your kids and your peace, and why every woman deserves a “narcissist moment” to brag on herself without apology. Also: divorce as divine intervention, stolen money and spiritual payback, co-parenting, being a “thick queen” in a skinny world, shared experiences between cis and trans women, "competition" in relationships, what it means to "build the table," the Atlanta dating scene, the stigma around sex on the first date, bad lace-front wigs, and the long road from Nana’s kitchen to "Real Housewives of Atlanta" peach-holding glory.

Trailblazing filmmaker, writer, and creator Patrik-Ian Polk — yes, THE Patrik-Ian Polk, the mind behind the groundbreaking series "Noah’s Arc" — joins TS Madison for an inspiring, no-holds-barred conversation about Black queer legacy, representation, and refusing to be erased. For nearly three decades, Patrik has brought authentic Black queer stories to screens large and small. In this episode, he embraces his title as the “Father of Black Gay Cinema,” reflecting on everything from his Sundance-premiering directorial debut "Punks," to building "Noah’s Arc" on his own terms — and how betting on himself proved Black gay stories were never “niche,” just historically denied the space to exist on screen. But Madison and Patrik don’t just retrace credits — they get into the real stuff: how "Punks" made waves but was still ignored by distributors, the exact moment that sparked "Noah’s Arc," the hard deadline Patrik set to make it happen by any means necessary, his decision to skip pitching it to Hollywood altogether, the industry’s ongoing discomfort with fully romantic Black queer love stories, and Patrik reveals the most difficult creative experience of his career. Also: Madison goes OFF on pearl-clutching over queer visibility and Patrik calls for transphobia to be banned, the release of "Noah’s Arc: The Movie," the push for a full series reboot, and why “I don’t know when, I don’t know how… but I KNOW” might as well be the Outlaws mission statement.

Stylist-to-the-stars, creative visionary, and living proof that destiny always has a second act—Ty Hunter joins TS Madison for a can’t-miss conversation about faith, fashion, and the career pivot that changed everything. You may know Ty as Beyoncé’s longtime stylist, but years ago his life looked drastically different. He was making heart valves for a medical supply company in Austin, until a tragic wake up call sparked a complete career pivot. Driven by a dream that he couldn’t ignore, Ty opens up about the moment God told him to “get down to Houston.” What followed wasn’t just a whole new career... it was DESTINY. Ty takes Maddie for a strut down the memory RUNWAY: working at Bebe (c’mon rhinestones!), meeting Ms. Tina Knowles (our first-ever Outlaws guest), styling Destiny’s Child and ultimately Beyoncé when she went solo, life on tour, the Barack Obama question he’ll never forget, stepping away from styling at the height of his career, writing a memoir, surviving industry rumors, and the full-circle return for Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour. Also: fate vs. hustle, Ms. Tina’s motherly mentorship, trying to date while chasing your dreams, entrepreneurship beyond glam, creative rebirth, Ty’s philosophy on fashion as protection, and how fiercely TS Madison loves the way Ty protects Beyoncé.

TS Madison broke the Internet with six seconds and a 22-inch weave. And she didn’t just go viral — she became part of the culture, from “RuPaul's Drag Race” to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance.” Her superpower? Her voice. Her kryptonite? Doesn’t exist. Her podcast? The one they never saw coming. Each week on “Outlaws,” Madison sits down with living legends and rising stars who shed their armor and own their stories — turning side-eyes into sermons, pain into punchlines, and grief into galaxies. They speak when silence is safer. They dream when told to disappear. And they know what so many are taught to fear: that when you speak your truth, you open a portal.

Drag Race legend, American Idol alum, singer-songwriter, TV starlet, future movie star, and f*cking Libra Adore Delano joins TS Madison for a conversation that’s raw, spiritual, and punk-rock real. From early fame and addiction to sobriety and self-discovery, Adore opens up about the moment she realized that Adore wasn’t just a drag persona — it was who she truly was and always had been. They go deep on gender, drag, and identity; what it means to come out twice; and why belief — not beauty — is the real power. Madison and Adore talk therapy, manifestation, and the divine art of the vision board, transforming self-doubt into superstardom and pain into purpose. Also: how American Idol happened, what TS Madison told Adore when they first met, RuPaul’s life-changing advice, healing from alcoholism, manifesting A24 roles, acting dreams, horror movies, trans visibility, dating a trans man, learning to fight back (literally), protecting your peace, and why visibility itself is activism. Catch Adore's feature film acting debut in the queer horror film "HAG," premiering on Tubi on December 12th, 2025!

Thanksgiving’s all about family, so this week TS Madison is joined by an EXTRA special guest: her mother, Miss Mary! To start off, Miss Mary delves into her spiritual journey, how she found Christ and continues to grow as a Christian even today. A lot of people call themselves Christians these days, but Miss Mary takes issue with those who preach with hate rather than love. She shares her own beliefs that God will meet you where you’re at, and that the bible is a tool not a weapon. And she credits not just God but also her daughter TS Madison in teaching her how to love unconditionally. We’re getting an intimate look at Maddie and Miss Mary’s relationship– TS Madison might be an icon to the world, but to Miss Mary, that’s her baby! Miss Mary talks about what it was like raising her daughter and two sons, watching her daughter achieve stardom and what she learned in the process. Maddie reflects on her upbringing as well, and gets into her decision to leave home, what motivated that decision, and how she came back to her mama. Before you sit down for your turkey dinner, tune into “Outlaws” with TS Madison to remember what matters most.

From BravoCon to the iHeart studio, supermodel, entrepreneur, and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" royalty Cynthia Bailey joins TS Madison for a hilarious, heartfelt conversation about beauty, aging, and the power of knowing your worth — finally. Cynthia opens up about menopause, body changes, and her age-gap relationship with a European musician who keeps her heart young (and her passport stamped). She reflects on two marriages, countless reinventions, and the confidence that comes not from looks but from surviving everything life throws your way. Also: body image after 50, why she didn’t marry Leon, becoming the first Black homecoming queen at her high school, getting discovered by Wilhelmina, GLP-1s and Weight Watchers real talk, boundaries, Miss Mary keeping TS grounded, matching energies, tequila fights and wild nights, long-distance love, Cynthia’s eras as model, TV personality, actress, and humanitarian, the gift and curse of being a Housewife, her old-school hustle and daily grind, two Essence covers, RuPaul’s unforgettable presence, brand deals, growing up Alabama-shy and becoming globally confident, writing a memoir, and why “soft-girl era” doesn’t mean soft-minded.

Vegan icon, actress, and sunshine personified Tabitha Brown joins TS Madison for a conversation that’s part sermon, part business school, part family reunion. From praying for Wendy Williams to praying for her own peace, Tabitha shares the lessons that built an empire rooted in love, partnership, and purpose. In this episode, TS and Tab move from laughs to hallelujahs—swapping stories about hustle, healing, and how faith and fight can coexist in the same woman. In this episode: that time Tab prayed for Wendy Williams, why (and how) to give ignorance grace, Tab’s five-year evolution from making Un-Tuna on Facebook Live to creating first vegan cooking competition on Food Network, recognizing misalignment even as your dreams come true, how Donna’s Recipe and her McCormick seasonings were born, social-media copycats, Maddie’s Facebook demonetization, future plans, and knowing when to log off and let God handle it.

When a Libra born to an Aries links up with another Aries? Baby, something divine and dangerous is about to happen — and the cosmos can’t contain it. Today, TS Madison sits down at the mic with the one and only comedian, actor, and unapologetic truth-teller Ms. Pat. They talk about everything from "The Ms. Pat Show" and its 95% true-to-life origins to her astounding journey from hustling in Atlanta to Emmy-nominated sitcom star. Ms. Pat opens up about raising kids while hustling, the importance of building generational wealth, and how mentors like Lee Daniels and Jordan E. Cooper helped her turn her story into a hit. Then, Ms. Pat gets all the way real — about unlearning homophobia, raising a gay daughter, losing friends who couldn’t evolve, and how shocked she was initially when she realized just how many parents abandon their queer kids. She drops parenting gospel, too: stop hiding behind religion, stop kicking your kids out at 18, and start watering their flowers instead of pouring gasoline on them. Plus: being a sexually active grandma, why she refuses to babysit, why she hated her daughter's cheerleading coach so much, what Hollywood taught her, and why she wasn’t pressed when Lee Daniels cut her scene from "The United States vs. Billie Holiday" (“my check cleared!”). All this, and Ms. Pat proves she’s the definition of an ally — loud, loving, and learning out loud. 🎬 Don’t miss "Ms. Pat Settles It" — Season 3 premieres on BET tonight (Tuesday 11/4) at 10 PM ET / 9 CT — the same day this episode drops!

The Blue Wall King meets the U·biq·ui·tous Queen! Today on “Outlaws,” TS Madison sits down with Terrell Grice—creator and host of the hit YouTube series "The Terrell Show," now in its seventh season featuring icons like Keke Palmer, Chloe Bailey, The Clark Sisters, Tia Mowry, Michelle Williams, Cynthia Erivo, Kelly Clarkson, and Coco Jones. Guests on his show are expected to sing *down*—but Terrell might just make an exception for Maddie to stop by and shake the table. (And okay, listen... if you caught her "Little Shop" audition to play Audrey II in our Wayne Brady episode, you already know Maddie can do it all.) Terrell tells Maddie how his unexpected path from reality-TV producer to YouTube creator led to one of the internet’s most beloved music talk shows—now boasting over 1.4 million subscribers and counting. Once the BuzzBalls start flowing (yes, in actual glasses), the conversation turns into a lively deep dive into their favorite vocalists, Brandy nostalgia, Whitney Houston devotion, and a debate comparing the R&B queens of the ’80s and ’90s to today’s generation of artists. Both Madison and Terrell grew up in the church, and they open up about how queerness reshaped their families’ faith and expanded their understanding of love. Terrell reflects on his so-called “Villain Era”—giving his mom the space to grieve the future she once imagined and finding their way back to each other. Together, he and Madison unpack the similarities and differences between coming out as gay vs. trans, the tension of wanting to preserve family relationships if you can (while still appreciating the power found in creating a 'chosen family'), and the joyful moments that follow the hard conversations and make it all worth it—like watching your Apostolic grandmother live her BEST life at the Caesars Palace slot machines at 3AM.

This week on "Outlaws," TS Madison welcomes her longtime friend Tamar Braxton — Grammy-nominated singer, Emmy-nominated producer, and historic "Big Brother " champion — for a two-friends-chatting-at-the-kitchen-table kind of conversation that goes way deeper than the headlines. Maddie gets Tamar to proudly run her résumé — five octaves, four Grammy nominations, and four #1 shows across four different networks. Then, they unpack: what Tamar learned from being a reality TV “villain," how Madison felt about “Queens Court," why Tamar returned to “The Braxtons,” and the passing of Tamar’s sister Traci. Also: tensions between Black women, grief counseling, the term "Liberal Christianity," celibacy, what sparked Tamar's connection to the LGBTQ+ community, whether or not she'd ever go on a dating show again, and more! And, finally, with an assist from our in-studio team Maddie figures out the proper term for an ally like Tamar, who’s not one of the girls but also IS one of the girls. This is one of the most personal and wide-ranging "Outlaws" episodes yet — full of laughter, truth, and the kind of honesty that only happens when two icons are completely at ease. Tune in to “The Braxtons” on We TV (for live broadcast) and/or stream it on Philo or ALLBLK – especially this Friday 10/24, as you may see some exclusive behind-the-scenes content of the making of today’s episode!

The doctor is IN today– this week’s episode of "Outlaws" is holy, hilarious, and dare we say... HEAVENLY. TS Madison sits down with her longtime friend, dentist, reality TV star, and Congressional candidate, Dr. Heavenly Kimes from "Married to Medicine." Dr. Heavenly shares with Maddie how she got into dentistry, from early encouragement to study medicine to the search for a speciality that would also allow a work life balance. Because she’s not just a doctor and a business woman, but a wife and mother of three kids too! The pair get into Dr. Heavenly’s dive into the reality TV world with “Married to Medicine." Dr. Heavenly says reality TV gave her the training she needed for her next career move– politics. That’s right, Dr. Heavenly is running to represent Georgia’s 13th district in Congress! She and Madison delve into her decision to run for office, what she plans to do once she wins, and why it’s important to get out the vote. TS Madison reminds us that now more than ever, as so many vulnerable groups face attacks from the federal government, it’s important to bring humanity back into politics!

Step right up – Jimbo the Drag Clown is here! The Clown of the North joins TS Madison in the “Outlaws” ring, and they kick things off with a look back at her “RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars” Season 8 win. Maddie floats the idea of an Olympic-style competition for every past champion. Not just a few, but ALL of them. We NEED to see this pantheon of Queens united– but unfortunately, as Maddie and Jimbo recognize, not everyone would be here to return. Madison and Jimbo pause to honor their beloved sister The Vivienne, who left us far too soon, which inspires a conversation about Jimbo’s sobriety journey. Jimbo takes us through her origin story and how embracing her queerness changed her life. She talks about her complicated relationship with her father, who she remained estranged from until his deathbed, and the difficult realization that goodbye’s don’t always look like they do in the movies. Next, we’re traveling back to the start of the COVID-19 lockdown– which just so happened to coincide with Jimbo’s debut on “Canada’s Drag Race.” Jimbo talks about the initial stress of watching the world shut down during her moment in the spotlight, but how, in a way, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When the world gets dark, we want to laugh, and Jimbo says she still meets people who tell her she helped get them through 2020! Of course, “Drag Race” was just the beginning. Jimbo shares how her All Star’s winnings helped her produce her dream project, “Jimbo’s Drag Circus” and her plans to take her clowning to the big screen. Madison and Jimbo agree, everybody’s got a clown in them! (Well, at least Maddie did once upon a time…) "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment. Is it on?

There are few in this world that are as controversial, raw, and authentic as TS Madison AND own up to it– and today’s guest is one of them. For a conversation all about sexuality and power, Maddie is joined by Cherry Thee Boom! Don’t get it twisted– TS Madison is all about uplifting the girls! Cherry might be a humble country girl at heart, but she IS that girl, with her very own podcast, “Cherry on Top”, and an upcoming book, “Black Butterfly Rising”. And in her introduction, Cherry reminds us that people are ALWAYS going to criticize you but that’s no reason to dim your light! We’re shaking the table this episode, as Madison and Cherry share their experiences with sex work and navigating the world as Black trans women. Cherry shares her philosophies on men, romance, and sex, and the advice she received when she first started her transition. The pair talk jealous from cis women, intercommunity hostility, and the purpose of labels. And we’re breaking down what really makes a DL man. Neither Maddie or Cherry is known for holding back, and they’re not starting now. And this episode reminds us, the girls are tired!

Messy Monday? Meet Talk Your Sh!t Tuesday! This week, Maddie chops it up with writer, actor, sexual/mental wellness advocate, and fellow iHeart podcast host Brandon Kyle Goodman! Reunited for the first time since the GLAAD Award nominated Logo Legend special where BKG and friends gave Maddie her flowers, they’re picking up right where they left off. Brandon’s talking all things gay, nonbinary, and polyamorous… and what it’s like to navigate those identities in today’s political climate. Madison and Brandon reflect on their intersecting identities of being Black, queer, and trans, and how those identities show up in the entertainment industry. Brandon shares the joy of working on “Big Mouth,” a show which they say championed the importance of diversity of all kinds in the writers room. But shows like “Big Mouth” are more often the exception than the rule, and Hollywood still has a lot of work to do to make sure everyone is seen and heard– on screen AND in the writers room. Brandon shares pivotal moments from their own life, including how “Sister Act 2” inspired their creative journey and how their mom became a Born Again Christian, sparking Brandon’s villain era. But, as they remind us, sometimes you need to be the villain in someone else’s eye in order to live your authentic life. In a time when there’s incredible pressure to conform, Brandon asks us, who would you be if society never got its hands on you?

Ask and you shall receive! This week’s guest is our #1 most requested—by a landslide—LUENELL! Amid her nonstop touring schedule, she blesses the "Outlaws" studio to chop it up with TS Madison, and listen… we’re already nominating this episode for the "Outlaws" Hall of Fame. First, Luenell dives into her roots in small-town Arkansas and why she goes by just one name. From there, the conversation takes off: her wild bank robbery story (and how she got caught), a brief stint as a sex worker, why she was unable to watch Princess Diana’s funeral, overcoming addiction, and the surprising ways prison taught her to appreciate life’s little things. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at her illustrious comedy career, working with fellow legends like Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy—whether that’s hanging upside down on a stripper pole or voicing cartoon characters with the "Hotel Transylvania" franchise. Plus, Luenell spills on reconciling with Leslie Jones while filming "Coming to America 2." Madison and Luenell also unpack Hollywood’s brutal beauty standards, how a surprise FaceTime from Rihanna landed her a Savage X Fenty modeling gig, and how that experience paved the way for her (now retired) OnlyFans.

Today, we’re joined by the Queen of Melrose herself, Cosmo Lombino! Owner of Cosmo's Glamsquad, Cosmo & Donato, and Fashion Whore, Cosmo has styled everyone from celebrities to the girl next door– and of course, our host TS Madison! Maddie and Cosmo reminisce on their first meeting in one of Cosmo’s shops 15 years ago… and the shoes Maddie still needs to pick up… Cosmo’s bringing Melrose to the studio, with a Medusa-esque headpiece perfect for Madison. And let’s hear it for the kimono! Could we be seeing an on-site Outlaws styling sesh in the future?? From fur coats one week to food stamps the next, Cosmo gets into her Scorsese-esque childhood in the Bronx. Maddie asks the big questions like, can you be a crime boss and a Jehovah’s witness? And of course, we dive into the story of her family’s move to California, which went viral in 2024. Family is a big theme of this episode, as Maddie and Cosmo share their own journeys with their families and why it’s important for parents to love their gay children.

Today, TS Madison is joined by YouTube royalty– actress, model, philanthropist, and mother of 3 (cats), Gigi Gorgeous! Maddie starts the conversation by coaching Gigi on how to talk her shit! She IS that bitch! The pair talk about the early days of YouTube, and how being in the right place at the right time led to Gigi’s iconic billboard on Sunset Boulevard. Maddie talks about admiring Gigi as one of the ORIGINAL rich trans girls on the Internet, and seeing her as a model of success early on in both of their careers. But it’s not all LA sunshine and lipgloss– Maddie and Gigi get into the nuances of being trans icons, from the competition within the community to the pressures to be the perfect role model to the extra barriers trans women of color must face. The girls get into navigating dating, chasers, and how the community keeps itself safe! We get a glimpse into some key moments in Gigi’s life– including how she went from being a diving champion to a makeup guru, her villain era as what she dubbed “the city gardener”– and of course, being detained and nearly imprisoned in Dubai. And for the first time in “Outlaws” history, for Ban it, Bitch, we’re banning a ban: Gigi says young broke trans girls deserve the right to shoplift!

We’ve got a true queer power couple in the studio today: THE Raven-Symoné and Miranda Maday, co-hosts of the hit podcast Tea Time! Raven’s been in the spotlight since diapers, but don’t get it twisted – Miranda is every bit a powerhouse herself, with an Emmy to boot. Nothing’s off-limits in this conversation. We’re tackling the biggest (and girthiest) questions about strap-ons: Raven wants to know, why pink? Madison counters, why not? And are “flesh-tone” strap-ons outdated—or still the ultimate hipwear?? Raven gets candid about growing up under the Disney microscope, the pressures around gender identity and presentation, and how meeting Miranda changed everything. In just 38 minutes, this episode covers so much ground—from why entertainers get paid so much, to what it’s like navigating private pain while in the public eye, to why the powers-that-be are so terrified of social media. And of course, what it actually means to represent the LGBTQ+ community (or as they call it: the Labiquita!) as public figures.

With a multifaceted career both onscreen and behind the camera, Orlando Jones is the definition of a storyteller. And he’s no stranger to being called an outlaw– from "Mad TV" to Mr. Nancy, Orlando’s been shaking things up since the 90s! To start off, Orlando tells TS Madison about his evolution in the entertainment industry. An early adapter of mobile media content, Orlando’s media company won the first ever virtual reality Emmy Award. Next, they get into the nuances of centering Black voices in entertainment– storytelling is a powerful tool, and Orlando wants to see more stories by and for Black America! And of course, we have to get into the “American Gods” of it all. Madison thanks Orlando for his work shaping the show’s iconic, Mr. Nancy– not only playing the character on screen but developing the character in the writer’s room as well! The pair talk Mr. Nancy’s iconic monologues, the show’s reimagining of spirituality and mythology…and of course get into the details of Orlando’s controversial firing from the show– which prompted fan backlash and boycotts of the show’s third (and ultimately final) season. That’s not all– in an exclusive moment, Orlando Jones reveals he’s just finished a Mr. Nancy novel! Could we see a role for TS Madison if (and when) it’s ever adapted for the screen???

This week on Outlaws, we’re bringing you the iconic Miss Lawrence! From Housewives to slaying the real estate game, this episode spotlights Black queer excellence. TS Madison and Miss Lawrence share their love for each other, as two groundbreaking voices of reality TV. Miss Lawrence talks his sh!t, with a previous career as one of the most sought after hairstylists in Atlanta which then laid the groundwork for his eclectic career in the entertainment industry. Madison and Lawrence dish on the public perception of flamboyant Black queens and the expectations that they will not succeed– which makes it even more important to celebrate their wins! Both of these icons have changed the way Blackness, queerness, and femininity are seen on and off screen– and their work is paying off! The duo delve into the highlights of Miss Lawrence's career– from his “Villain era” of pushing his team towards greatness, to the chance encounter that inspired him to close his salon and move onto bigger and brighter things, to working together on Bros and maybe a future project on the “sacrifices of the boot”… We’re then treated to a surprise facetime call and Maddie’s showstopping rendition of Happy Birthday for Miss Lawrence’s niece. And for this week’s Ban It, Bitch, Miss Lawrence is taking on Hookah bars (he’s saving all our voices, y’all!) In times like these where some are trying to erase Black and queer history, it’s now more important than ever to uplift voices like Miss Lawrence, that embody the abundance, excellence, and greatness we’re all capable of. We’re here and we’re not going anywhere! "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.

Teresa Josephine Marie Fortenberry 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾Thunderstorm Madison. We’re mixing it up today with the internet’s favorite good Southern Christian girl, Terri Joe. Terri’s here to share the word of the Lord with TS Madison, and how she navigates the world as a true child of God amidst abominations like vampires, welfare, hair dye, and pork chops. Terri shares stories from growing up in Bon Temps, Louisiana, including her…unique conversion therapy method, granted to her by God. Over the years, Terri Joe has cured many a hommaseggsyuhs (except for her nemesis Saucy Santana) and her work is far from over! Unfortunately, Terri Joe had to leave unexpectedly mid-interview, but the phenomenal Kelon Campbell steps in to take over the rest of the episode! Madison shares her love for the success of Kelon’s alter ego and how sharing the stage with Terri Joe has been a longtime dream! Kelon reflects on how Terri Joe came to be, taking the stage with Madonna, and going live with legends (Doja Cat!). We get into everything from the night he was escorted by security out of Shawty Bae’s birthday party, to the upcoming TERRI JOE MOVIE in the works! Did y’all know that was happening?! Madison encourages Kelon, as an Outlaw and as one of the seeds of her garden, to speak on his accomplishments with a little more pride moving forward – because if you can't celebrate yourself, how in the hell you gonna celebrate somebody else?! AMEN. "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BRETMAN ROCK has entered the chat! Bretman joins Maddie all the way from Hawai'i. We kick things off with a conversation on gender identity and B’s experiences growing up in Hawai‘i as a non-binary Filipino kid. Bretman shares how being raised among cultures where mahu and bakla are not only respected but revered helped him embrace the entire spectrum of gender identities. Madison opens up about her own experiences and ongoing learning regarding nonbinary identities. Then, as always, TS Madison asks her guest to talk his shit – and BABY, Bretman understood the assignment. Millionaire at 18? Check. Living his ancestors’ greatest dreams? Check. Peacocks in the backyard? Check. Bretman shares his origin story at a Wal-Mart, and Maddie helps him unpack his genuinely jawdropping villain era (trust, you HAVE to hear this one…!!!). We cover so much in this one: influencer “shelf-lives,” family trauma, bottoms who don’t use Pure for Men, generational healing, and why tourists in Hawai’i should NOT pet the seals!!! This is the crossover episode you didn’t know you needed. "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.

TS Madison is joined by the legend, the mother, the trendsetter, the seed planter, Maddie’s future presidential pick– Laverne Cox! Laverne is the DEFINITION of a trailblazer, as the first trans woman to grace the cover of Times Magazine, British Vogue, Cosmo, Essence, and so much more. And she’s not kicking down the ladder– Laverne says the best part of fame is getting to inspire and create space for up-and-coming trans and queer artists. She may be the first when it comes to nominations and accolades, but she will NOT be the last! Two pillars of trans media, Laverne and Madison discuss breaking into the entertainment industry as Black trans women, and the double standards and setbacks that are all too common. Laverne talks about her own journey waitressing in New York for years and almost getting evicted before reaching career success with Orange Is The New Black– and now executive producing and starring in her own TV series, Clean Slate. And there's no question why Maddie wants to see this TV star in office– Laverne talks gender theory, from reading Judith Butler and bell hooks in college, to what it means to be a trans person in 2025. Laverne provides insight into how the patriarchy demonizes trans women and cis women alike, why intersectionality is important, and breaks down the dangers of Project 2025 for all of us. It’s not an easy time, as trans and queer folks face more and more political attacks every day. But it’s voices like Laverne’s that remind us of our power.

Last week, Madison talked with Monét X Change, so it’s only fitting that today we have the other half of “Sibling Rivalry” on the pod– it’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 8 winner, Bob the Drag Queen! Drag superstar, comedian, Madonna’s MC– Bob’s adding “author” to an already impressive resume, with his new book "Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert!" But before getting into that, Madison and Bob talk Drag Race, douching etiquette, sobriety, and concealed carry– if you needed another reason not to mess with Maddie. Bob talks about his lifelong obsession with Harriet Tubman and everything she accomplished in her long life. Bob shares his favorite photo of Harriet looking regal as hell in her 90s and the book’s heartfelt dedication to Bob’s late mother, as well as anecdotes from his research. Manifestation is a big theme in this episode– from historical examples to personal ones. These are southern girls, so we’re mixing scripture and spells– from reflecting on Harriet Tubman’s spirituality, to on-air-manifesting Madison’s next collab. And Bob talks about getting a glowing review from his favorite performers of all time– is the key to meeting your heroes getting them tattooed on your body? Or maybe just a mood board… "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.

Today, Madison is joined by “Drag Race” alum, the one and only Monét X Change! To start off, we’re talking about the gender spectrum– she, her, he, him, they, them, and whatever else you want to throw in there. The ladies have a cross-general conversation about how expectations of gender identity and presentation have changed. Monét talks about her pronouns in and out of drag, and deep questions such as, to boob or not to boob? Doth the position maketh man (or woman)? Next we’re going nuclear– we all know Maddie doesn’t play and she doesn’t pull any punches. Monét’s villain era inspires today’s target… a certain blond haired talk show host who thinks she can hate on the trans community and still love the Ru girls. Okay… Like Madison says, if you don’t want to go nuclear, don’t press the button! This episode is bringing you big topics– like the importance of voting rights– and even bigger questions. Like, what the f*ck is a caramel macchiato?? Is New York really worth the winters? When will Madison become a regular judge on “Drag Race”? And will we see Madison follow in Monét’s footsteps as a future star of “The Traitors”???

He’s a Libra, he’s successful, he’s amazing, he’s a trendsetter…a bad bitch all around, in this episode TS Madison is joined by the Material Gworl himself, SAUCY SANTANA! They discuss the impact of growing up watching "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and "RuPaul’s Drag Race" MADE Saucy Santana, exploring makeup as a teenager, swapping gender expectations for authenticity, and Maddie shares her own experience transitioning at 17. Doesn’t matter if you’re he/him, she/her, they/them, this episode is for the GWORLS! Madison and Saucy talk intersectionality, fighting back against prejudice from within their own communities. We’re all in the fight to tear down white supremacy together! Next, we get into Santana's villain era, his days reading bitches on twitter, how fame changed that, and also, we learn about the moment when Maddie realized she had become an elder.

She’s a winner, baby! T.S. Madison is joined by the legendary Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 13 winner… it’s Symone! The duo jump immediately into it, and 'it' we mean a crash course on the astrological science of good sex, and the art of giving commands—and the sorcery doesn’t stop there. This episode is like an hour-long affirmation: we're vision-boarding with words, commanding the universe to deliver our “gots,” declaring “I AM!,” and stepping into the spirituality of queerness. It’s all about the Word, honey! The conversation then turns to the Ebony Enchantress’s journey from Arkansas to the main stage of RuPaul’s Drag Race. (Fun fact: Season 13 wasn’t just her winning season—it was also the first time Maddie sat on the judging panel.) She recalls what it felt like, from that side of the table, to watch the rising star walk the runway for the very first time. Together they reflect on RuPaul Andre Charles’s impact—not just on their own lives, but on the entire world—then bond over life’s ups and downs, those moments of feeling entirely lost, and the breakthroughs that promised brighter tomorrows. When Symone opens up about her lowest point, Maddie delivers an unforgettable pep talk, reminding her (and all of us) that it’s never about where you start; it’s always about where you go. Grab your tissues, y’all! We’re laughing, we’re crying, and we’re immediately queuing up a re-watch of RPDR Season 13!!!

TS Madison welcomes Drew Afualo to Outlaws—TikTok’s undisputed roast queen, New York Times best-selling author of "Loud" (the first Samoan woman to ever make that list—clock it!!!), Forbes 30 Under 30 Creator & Social Media cover star, and host of not one but two hit podcasts: "The Comment Section" and "Two Idiot Girls." After getting fired from the NFL, Drew picked up her phone and built a following 9 million strong, proving definitively that there is in fact an audience who, like her, absolutely does not f*ck with racism, homophobia, transphobia, or misogynistic men with egos as fragile as their hairlines—who would’ve thought?! Together, Maddie and Drew are holding men’s nuts to the fire. They talk Samoan matriarchy, “meat checks,” TERFs, what it’s like to be told “you’re prettier in person,” and the Uber driver who remembered Drew's voice from the last time she was in his car and told a man to go f*ck himself. Also, they reflect on why they’ll never be “above” replying to hateful comments, no matter how high the star soars. Drew gives Maddie her flowers, and Maddie is certain she’s just met her long-lost twin. Hold up—have you started the episode yet?? What are you waiting for?! It’s time for an hour of loud, live, and in color SISTERHOOD. "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.

TS Madison is kicking off Pride Month with real talk and revelations in this special episode with none other than Representative Jasmine Crockett. Maddie has questions and SHE WANTS ANSWERS! And as seemingly one of the only Dems raising their voice, the Congresswoman from Texas is here to guide us. We all know that Maddie doesn’t sugarcoat it, and neither does Representative Crockett – she’s always gonna give it to you plain. They talk about the haters, the hypocrites, and the healing we all need. And another thing – how did we get to this “oops” moment, where people are surprised by what’s going down? The "Find Out Phase" is in full effect, but we also get into how we can fix things and the question on everyone's minds: "Will we be okay?" Rep. Crockett gives us the hope we need. It's about to be Losing Season for the Haters! Let us know what you think! Give us a rate/review/subscribe and stay tuned for more – this is only our fourth episode. "Outlaws" is truly just getting started! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TS Madison and THE Wayne Brady meet for the first time in person and the vibes are as immaculate as Wayne’s outfit (by the way, full episodes are now on YouTube too for our visual learners). Wayne TALKS HIS SHIT like the 5-time Emmy Award winner that he IS — and proceeds to explain the concept of “Outlaws” better than we ever could! They get into it all: what pansexuality means to Wayne, growing up Caribbean American and seemingly too Black for the white folks but not 'Black enough' for Hollywood, the way in which him and Maddie each turned jokes into passports, and that time Whitney Houston was booed at the Soul Train Awards. Also, they reflect on the feeling of being overlooked by the very institutions that are supposed to celebrate you (NAACP, BET, Essence, Atlanta Pride… yes, we’re naming names). Maddie drops a monologue on surviving the system by monetizing confusion, and Wayne recounts his absolutely legendary audition for "Snakes on a Plane." At one point, TS Madison auditions to play Audrey II from "Little Shop of Horrors" and we think we may need to start a campaign to make this happen for real?! Wayne and Maddie share a kindred connection – and we wish we could've kept this episode rolling for another hour. We need more! A buddy comedy? A musical? Wayne AND Maddie in "Little Shop" together?! Maddie Mob, you're in for an hour of real talk and revelations. How are y'all liking the show so far? Who are your dream guests? Are you following us on social? Have you reviewed/subscribed/etc. to all the things? Let’s lock in y’all – this podcast is just getting started! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on "Outlaws," it's... a Femininomenon! A what?! A FEMININOMENON. Today, our host TS Madison is joined by your favorite artist’s favorite artist and your favorite drag queen’s favorite drag queen. Chappell Roan—Grammy Award winner and visionary Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl behind “Pink Pony Club” and “Good Luck, Babe”—joins forces with her drag mother Sasha Colby, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 and the celebrated 2012 Miss Continental. Together, the Hawaiian queen and Midwest princess form the most iconic mother-daughter duo since Miss Mary and TS Madison. Today they’re pulling up to Auntie Madison's place for some overdue family time in a shimmering, shade-filled, and unforgettable episode of "Outlaws"—only our second ever! Madison opens the show with heartfelt gratitude, bestowing “Niece” status upon Chappell for doing what you're supposed to do in big spaces: speak up, show up, and advocate fiercely for LGBTQIA+ visibility. Meanwhile, Sasha receives her flowers as Madison recalls binge-watching her pageant tapes and knowing—when she saw her strut onto the Drag Race Main Stage—“Those girls in the back better be ready!” This is the best crossover event to hit Queer Media since Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande held space with Tracy Gilchrist. This episode has it all: Sasha recounts sneaking into Venus Nightclub in Hawaii and witnessing Miss Continental trailblazers like Yoshiko Oshiro, instantly thinking, "Sign me up!!!" Chappell reflects on the day she realized she could sing (and her parents’ adorably Midwestern response). The trio bonds over religious guilt, forbidden blue eyeshadow, and the sacred act of setting boundaries. There’s an impromptu duet of “The Christmas Song.” There’s a karma spell. And apparently, there are plans for a "Continental Night" where Sasha’s pulling out the VHS tapes?! We're not going to ask for an invite—because in this house we respect boundaries—but if y’all want to go live for 2 minutes so we can live vicariously... we wouldn’t be mad. And finally, Madison launches her new favorite segment: "Ban It, Bitch!" While certain politicians try to ban drag shows, LGBTQ+ books, and the very existence of transgender people, we’re flipping the script, because all that energy could be redirected toward the things that really gotta go. We're looking at you, cork shoes! Fish photos on dating apps! Pop Crave?! Ban it. Nothing is safe from the Outlaws gavel—and you might want to check your comment section etiquette before Madison checks it for you. Special thanks to Chappell and Sasha for saying yes and making the time to appear on "Outlaws" amidst their busy schedules—and doing so before we’d even dropped an episode. “Casting Karma Spells” is the blueprint for everything we hope this podcast can be: an hour of real talk with chosen family, where we can each shed our armor and own our stories. We simply couldn’t have made this episode without the hardworking teams behind these legends, along with our partners at iHeart. "Outlaws" is hosted by TS Madison, and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The mic is ON and MOTHER is HERE. TS Madison kicks off Outlaws with Ms. Tina Knowles—fashion icon, businesswoman, and, now, the New York Times #1 bestselling author of Matriarch. They look back on what inspired Ms. Tina to finally write her book, the moment she knew her children were destined to be superstars, the queer legacy of Uncle Johnny, the poignant stories behind the names Beyoncé and Solange, and a July 29th revelation that leaves Tina in tears. From nights out at Galveston's Kon-Tiki Club to divine signs from ancestors—this is a can’t-miss premiere episode that marks the powerful debut of "Outlaws" and the arrival of TS Madison as one of the great interviewers of our time. Get cozy. Get into it. And get "MATRIARCH" by Tina Knowles. Outlaws is proud to be a part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.
