A weekly podcast dedicated to the power of women’s wrestling. Hosted by Harley R. Pageot, Emily Fear, and their team of correspondents known as The Glitterati.
In honor of Pride month, all June we'll be delving into the G&G archives to re-share past interviews with some some of our favorite LGBTQ wrestlers.
Back in March of this year Emily and Megan spoke with Erica Leigh about the then-forthcoming Cassandro Cup, Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, and her social media reputation.
Mayydayy returns to the show to talk to Harley & Emily about their new promotion, Combat Fights Unlimited, and debut show Shoot To Thrill, premiering June 24 on IWTV.
Plus: Megan and Meg discuss nonbinary representation in wrestling and spotlight some of their favorites working today.
Also: JR, Em, Harley, and Val Pancakes ponder on what their cards might look like if they could book their own indie show.

When we scheduled an interview with Effy for the middle of June 2020 it was for a tongue-in-cheek Father's Day episode we were going to call Daddy's Day. Generally speaking, we don't interview male wrestlers on this show but thought we could make an exception here and focus on the talk on women's wrestling-related themes like intergender wrestling and LGBTQ representation. We set a recording date and time with Effy's plan being to talk to Harley & Emily while he and AC Mack drove to their first show in months. Then, less than 24 hours before our interview was set to take place, #SpeakingOut cracked the wrestling world wide open.
In this interview re-live our emotions in real-time as we all struggled to process years of systemic abuse being brought to light, as well as Effy's thoughts on how to build a brighter, better pro wrestling landscape for everyone.
Harley & Emily rifle through old newspaper articles and scour social media pages to compile a timeline of transgender professional wrestlers: 1995 - present. (Requested by Patreon supporter Brendon in honor of their birthday.)
Plus: JR raves about how much they loved The Life Of Edith Surreal.

On January 19, 2021 G&G conducted our first interview of 2021 with Edith Surreal (then known as Still Life With Apricots & Pears). Harley & Meg spoke to Edith about how Philadelphia shaped her, the evolution of her ring gear, transitioning in the public eye, her beloved 2020 match against Dark Sheik, and what a Surreal-hosted show might look like.
Emily, Val, and JR kick off Pride 2021. Harley talks with Ryan Levey about his forthcoming documentary film Out In The Ring.
Harley & Val discuss the laughter and tears of Matane, the Hana Kimura memorial show. Harley & Emily head into the Wrestlers' Lab for the season one premiere of Alchemy, their new weekly series airing on IWTV.
In this free introduction to the G&G Patreon spin-off podcast, Emily talks ...All The Marbles (1981) with The Great Bambina!
