'YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE LORE' is a camp, drag, 80s-inspired show that explores themes of girlhood, medical misogyny, obsession, queerness and joy. And with that, a quick message from our radio host: Good evening happy campers, I am your radio host for this evening, giving you the latest stories on the wild, wacky and funky celebrities of the world. So, are you ready? I said; ‘Are you ready?’ Good to hear folks, for tonight’s case, we are doing something a bit different and looking into a story that shook a few boots – ah, but I should stop messing around and let you meet them, shouldn’t I… c’mon girls, tell us your lore.
