KINGS ON THE AUX is an interview series examining drag, storytelling, and the artistic choices behind the music we love to perform. Each episode features an in-depth conversation with a drag king, moderated by your host, Cleveland drag king Caius Crow (a.k.a. Ben; he/him). Together, the kings unpack one song (or mix) from our guest’s repertoire, covering genre, gender, and politics along the way. Whether you’re a drag king, or you love drag kings, or you wish you knew more about drag kings, you want to check us out!
