A definitive history and celebration of the groundbreaking show RuPaul's Drag Race in its first decade, from a Burbank basement set all the way to the Emmy's, and every weave in-between, as told by its stars, producers and fans.
Told over the first ten years, And Don't F&%k It Up tells a cultural history through the stories of the people who lived it: the creators of the show, the contestants, the crew, the judges, and even some key (famous) fans.
It begins with RuPaul's decades-long friendship and business relationship with World of Wonder Productions, the entertainment company that helped launch him into superstardom, and later talked him into giving a drag reality show a chance.
From there, it follows the growth and evolution of the show—and its queens—through a decade of gag-worthy seasons, serving up all kinds of behind-the-scenes realness. With a history as shady and funny as it is dramatic and inspiring, And Don't F&%k It Up shows how RuPaul's Drag Race is a mirror reflecting the cultural and political mores of our time. Its meteoric rise to becoming a once-in-a-generation success story is explored here as never before, in intimate, exuberant, unfettered detail.

Alec Mapa is a great narrator; occasionally he slightly affects his voice to match who’s speaking (or maybe that was just me subconsciously hearing it) in a way that’s a little odd/distracting but it does help set the scene.
A fun, interesting if incomplete history

The star is Alec Mapa. He brings slight inflections to each queens voice, which adds a special layer to the journey. Made it feel like we were Kiki-ing with the queens.
I’m glad a listened but doubt I’ll listen again. Unlike drag race episodes, which are a great escape.
