Los Angeles, CA – Released today on sex-positive podcast, Sluts & Scholars, co-host Nicoletta Heidegger interviews drag superstar Jackie Beat. Today from 2-3pm PST, Sluts & Scholars will also debut its first weekly live show on Vivid’s Sirius XM Channel 415.

“Jackie Beat is hilarious, smart, and fabulous,” said Nicoletta Heidegger. “Her comedy smartly challenges issues throughout time; no matter what people say, Jackie exudes confidence and reminds us all how creative and powerful ‘freaks’ can be. I feel so grateful to have been introduced to her by the amazing and equally talented, Catherine D’Lish.”
