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.

"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.

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.

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!
