So when people were doing sourdough bread starters and making masks, I bought 27 wigs, and we went from there.

We got to address the suburban women problem because it's real.

Welcome to the suburban women problem, a podcast from red, wine, and blue.

Hi, everyone.

Thanks for joining us.

I'm Jasmine Clark.

I'm Amanda Weinstein.

I'm Rachel Vindman.

And you're listening to The Suburban Women Problem.

So it's a new year, but right-wing extremists

keep reading from the same old playbook, trying to find boogeymen to scare us, especially as

suburban women, and drag story time events are some of the most popular targets right now,

even with guns, which is just crazy to me.

So I was super excited to have a conversation with a drag queen named Tara Hoot, who also happens to be a teacher, about her drag story time events. I super enjoyed this conversation. It was so enlightening. And I think one of the things that I really found, like, the most enlightening about this conversation was just the fact that it is really about caring for other people. And so it just makes it all the more insane to me that there are others out

there that would take something that really is just about caring and inclusiveness and try to

tear that down. But before that, we'll be joined by Cress Barnes. Cress is a mom in North Carolina

who's had to deal with threats and calls to shut down her

restaurant because she hosts family-friendly drag events.

But before we get to all that, how are you guys doing and what's been blowing up our group

chat lately?

First of all, can I just say we are not afraid to take on any topic on the suburban women problem. And I am here for it. Amen to that. Yes, definitely one that I think a lot of people try to shy away from because it makes some people a little squirmy, some people a little uncomfortable. But that's really like one of the reasons why I really enjoyed my conversation with Tara.

And I know y'all get to hear it later.
