Summary

Hiya friends! Strap yourselves in, ‘cause this one’s a goodie. (Are we allowed to say that about our own podcast episode? Screw it. IT’S AMAZING.) Today we’re joined by the ridiculously entertaining Courtney Act: a drag queen, entertainer and singer who has graced television screens across not just in Australia, but around the world. In this episode, we talk about it all: from Courtney’s schooling experience in Brisbane as Shane Jenek, to how Courtney Act came to life. We also cover why drag is such an important part of her identity, as well as her time on Australian Idol, Big Brother UK and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

0:00.0	Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.
0:07.6	Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and
0:16.8	drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social
0:22.2	trip that was also relaxing.
0:23.7	Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.
0:26.4	I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.
0:31.1	So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?
0:34.7	Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.
0:37.6	If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.
0:39.9	Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.
0:51.3	Yeah, that's exactly why I love Airbnb too.
0:53.9	They're awesome because you have your own space
0:55.9	in your own room, but feel really close to your friends and family
0:58.9	if you're going on a group trip,
1:00.1	and the point is to spend time together.
1:01.9	Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.
1:05.0	We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as
1:09.5	some mid-afternoon apparel.
1:10.7	Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.
1:15.3	With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find
1:21.5	exactly what you're looking for with confidence.
1:23.9	Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
