KPFA Radio

Drag Queen The One & Only Rexy reads "Whoever You Are: A Baby Book on Love & Gender" by Josephine Wai Lin and "No One Owns The Colors" by Gianna Davy at the Bay Area Book Festival in Downtown Berkeley, Ca on May 7, 2023. Also a short interview with The One & Only Rexy and author Gianna Davy.

With all the fuss lately about drag story hours – people in often audacious attire and imaginative makeup reading stories to children – we thought you’d like to hear and see some for yourselves. So you can consider whether they really should be banned, as some politicians demand.

No need to sneak into an elementary school or your local library’s kiddies’ room though, we’re bringing some to you! We’ve recorded four readings along with short conversations with drag performers, authors, a publisher and a parent.

We hope you enjoy our Pride Month video and audio Drag Storytime series.

KPFA’s Drag Storytime series is produced by E.A., Peter Stickney and Eric Jansen (aka Cinnamon Sugarshoes).
