S2E19 - NERD ALERT ft. Jackie Cox

Drag Time with Heklina

We’re back with another episode of Drag Time with Heklina! This week we have Jackie Cox and she is here to tell you all about JackieVision! her all-new solo tour, premiering this weekend (September 4th and 5th) and inspired by the Emmy-nominated Disney+ series, WandaVision. You can get your show and meet and greet tickets for this weekend at SFOasis.com!

Jackie used to live in San Francisco and she takes us down memory lane and we talk about Cookie Dough and her days performing at The Edge. She catches us up on her podcast, “It Do Take Nerd” brought to you by World of Wonder, and how a nerd identity can be healthy and inclusive for queer people. Then we talked about our shared love of classic television, including how she grew up on Nick at Nite reruns like Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Brady Bunch. We find out exactly what kind of nerd Jackie and I are… and it turns out that Marc is a Murder She Wrote nerd!

Jackie tell us all about working with Lisa Rinna and bringing back her RPDR S.12 “Snatch Game" Lisa Rinna to the new Days of Our Lives miniseries! You can catch Jackie in the 6 episode miniseries premiering on Peacock on September 6th.

Finally, we discuss Jackie’s runway looks from RPDR S.12, including her decision to pay homage to a patriotic look featuring a hijab to bring attention to the injustice of former President Trump’s Muslim travel ban. Then and now, the message is clear. We must keep supporting refugees and those seeking asylum in the United States, especially for our trans-siblings. Listen-in to this moving episode of Drag Time with Heklina to hear all about it from Jackie Cox!
