World of Wonder, the Emmy-award winning media company behind the RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE global phenomenon, TODAY announces an upcoming slate of podcasts joining the WOW podcast network.

Included in THE LINEUP is an expansive second season of the World of Wonder co-founder hosted "Night Fever," and the inaugural season of "Gay Sex Ed: The Podcast," which takes the popular WOW Presents Plus original series lead by Kameron Michaels and Vanjie Matteo into podcast form.

From a celebration of the gay REVOLUTION begun in the 70s through to candid conversations about modern sex, this expansive slate champions a diverse array of queer voices and stories.

'Night Fever' kicks off the slate with a jaw-dropping second season which continues to explore the New York nightlife figures who defined the 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond. Hosted by James St James and World of Wonder's co-founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, this season will feature interviews with icons like Michelle Visage, where she discusses the teen dance scene in 1980s New Jersey, Susanne Bartsch who walks listeners through some of her most scandalous nights at the Copacabana, and Jayne County, a trans punk rocker, who relives the experience of being at Stonewall the night the first brick was thrown.

These guests and more were REVEALED TODAY in the all new Night Fever S2 first look trailer from World of Wonder. Covering everything from important queer history to the most salacious tales of the New York nightlife, the upcoming season of 'Night Fever' promises an unmatched selection of camp, gossip, and nostalgia.

"Gay Sex Ed: The Podcast" takes the popular WOW Presents Plus series format and brings it new life in a weekly episodic podcast. Together with certified sex therapist Dr. Chris Donaghue, RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE alum Kameron Michaels and Vanjie Mateo bring you candid sex education from the gay male perspective. Each week will bring a new topic, discussed IN DEPTH with a surprising sincerity and non-stop laughs from the hilarious perspectives and anecdotes of the series hosts.

In the new seasons of "UNHhhh: The Podcast", "The Things That Made Me Queer", "It Do Take Nerd", and "The Pink Room," the series will continue their beloved formats with a roster of fresh guests and storylines.

Trixie and Katya bring fans their signature banter and beloved wit on "UNHhhh: The Podcast," Dave Holmes and Matt McConkey grill even more your favorite LGBTQ+ celebrities on everything from their pop culture obsessions to their love lives, Drag Race UK's Crystal will unpack THE JOURNEY of self love and acceptance with a rotating list of celebrity guests on "The Things That Made Me Queer", Jackie Cox digs even deeper into her love of nerd culture on "It Do Take Nerd" and Ash Kenazi will invite us into even more of the queerest backstages since the Blonde Ambition tour with a rotating queue of brand new artists on "The Pink Room."

Upcoming original series from the WOW Podcast Network include:
