Tommy D of TFDPresents joins Superficial Spirit to talk real-life drag business, not fantasy booking.

As one of Canada’s top drag managers, Tommy breaks down what queens can actually expect after Drag Race — from touring realities and brand deals to burnout, boundaries, and the behind-the-scenes work fans never see. We get into how the industry has changed, what opportunities are real (and which are overhyped), and what it really takes to build longevity beyond the show.

We also talk about his recent appointment as Director of Whistler Pride, and why it’s a major shake-up for the West Coast Pride scene — including what change looks like, who it’s for, and why it matters right now.

Industry insight, Pride politics, and zero fluff.

I’m FINALLY talking to a real-life, thriving, super hot OnlyFans creator 🔥 — Cadence Calibre.

We get into Cadence’s start in reality TV on Canada’s hit show Cupcake Girls, where she became one of the first trans women ever featured on Canadian television 📺✨

Of course, we dive into my favorite topic — nightlife 🪩🍸 — and the surprising spiritual lessons that came with it.

We also talk about Cadence’s powerful sobriety journey 💪💖 and, yes… what it’s really like to make as much as a brain surgeon on OnlyFans 🧠💸😏

Before Vancouver changed forever, there was The Odyssey.

“The O” wasn’t just a gay bar — it was where identities were formed, legends were born, and community came alive.

In this first episode of The O Files, I sit down with DJ Drew, a Davie Street staple and resident DJ for 15 years. We talk about how The O found us, Drew’s start behind the decks, Lady Gaga stopping by, the journey into sobriety, and what it felt like to play the final night before the doors closed.

If you have memories of The Odyssey, I want to hear them. This series belongs to everyone who ever danced there.

How does nightlife shape who we become?

In this episode of The Superficial Spirit, Peter Breeze sits down with nightlife creator Parker McMullin to explore how club culture impacts identity, creativity, and community through a distinctly Canadian lens. Drawing from scenes in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto, they trace the evolution of queer nightlife—from underground parties like DUI and Club La Lohan to the pop-driven phenomenon BIMBO.

A thoughtful conversation about why nightlife matters, how cities shape culture differently, and how the dance floor becomes a place of growth, belonging, and reinvention.

In this episode of Superficial Spirit, I sit down with drag performer PM, fresh off Canada’s Drag Race Season 6, for a candid conversation about performance, desire, and pop culture. We dive into the evolution of club culture, the realities of hookup culture, and the icons that shape PM’s drag and identity—before getting into their most unexpected confession yet: a dream to throw down on reality TV. Equal parts reflective, funny, and unfiltered, this episode explores what it means to perform, connect, and stay authentic in a hyper-visible world.

Superficial Spirit – Episode: Jayden MacKenzie

In this episode, I’m joined by rising pop powerhouse Jayden McKenzie — a Vancouver-based artist making waves with cinematic vocals, big queer energy, and unapologetically bold aesthetics. We talk about how he found his sound, what it’s like navigating the music industry as an independent artist, and how pop can be both a sanctuary and a battleground.

From heartbreak anthems to dancefloor catharsis, Jayden opens up about the power of performance, queer identity, and why making music is his ultimate form of self-expression.

In this episode, I sit down with Vancouver’s own Dust Cwaine—a non-binary drag artist, singer-songwriter, and indie-rock provocateur. We talk about their journey from small-town theatre kid to queer scene leader, the making of their EP 17, and how they blend 90s alt-rock with drag spectacle to tell stories of fatness, aromanticism, and self-discovery. It’s a conversation full of heart, humor, and high-voltage honesty.
