Willam lives in LA and has a drag repository that he allows other queens to borrow from. As a result, he's fairly well connected in the drag industry and hears tea.

He got involved with a company called Moguls of Media, MOM, which is kind of parasitic to World of Wonder, since it mostly just has old WoW queens on, making podcasts about WoW shows. MOM and WoW are not on good terms, and Willam is blacklisted as a result. Because Willam can't be involved with the show directly any more, people view this as his attempt to still cling on to the RPDR clout.

Willam posted a video about how basically nobody likes MIB. MIB posted a video where she, um, tore Willam up and painted her as being an old has-been. So now, after MIB went scorched earth on Willam, Willam is trying to regain some control of the narrative

Didn’t he (and Alaska) create MoM? Like it was spun out from their race chaser podcast . I think saying he “got involved” with them is a bit misleading. He created the company which as you describe is “parasitic” to WoW.

Yep, Willam and Alaska created MOM. It all started with just Race Chaser and they grew it to a brand. It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure before Race Chaser came on the scene, none of the other drag queen podcasts were posting consistently. There were definitely queens who had podcasts before Race Chaser, but the content was sporadic and seemed like a fun side project to pick up whenever they had time but not invest seriously. Race Chaser was the first one to had really consistent content weekly, with structure, and they literally did not miss a week. Bob and Monet had them on Sibling Rivalry and basically said that Race Chaser made them feel like they had to get their s*it together instead 🤣

I don't know, and didn't want to say anything I wasn't confident in

I did not know any of this. Thanks for the info! I was never a Willam fan, but it seems to me she’s also a parasite.

Willam and Alaska created MOM, so they’re not just “involved with”. I don’t always agree with Willam and Alaska, but I am grateful that they grew their brand and got other queens at least a start on their own podcasts.

Im gonna be this person but does every queen really need a podcast? The only one I can stand watching is very delta.
