Summary
I'm joined by an absolute legend of the Aotearoa drag scene in the bach this week. Edward Cowley, better known as the iconic Buckwheat, joins me to mark a massive milestone: the 40th anniversary of the Homosexual Law Reform Act. From the secret nightclub stairs of the 80s to being a Samoan father of three, Edward shares it all with heart and a bit of sparkle. We dig into the grit behind the glamour, why Pride is still so vital in 2026, and the power of a really good headpiece. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
