The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie & Lina
Welcome to The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie and Lina, a new weekly podcast hosted by DJ/activist Lina Bradford and fashion legend Connie Fleming, the show offers unprecedented access to the icons, secrets, and untold stories that shaped queer culture. Lina and Connie are both trailblazing women of transgender experience, with deep backgrounds hosting and performing in NYC’s most storied clubs—and pioneering on fashion runways. They bring their knowledge, stories, and relationships to “The Cutting Up,” offering audiences a backstage pass to authentic conversations that can only happen between true friends and industry legends. “The Cutting Up” goes deep on fashion, music, activism, and identity.

We're Serving You Stuffing, Quaaludes & Paper Airplanes This Thanksgiving
Gobble gobble, everyone! Connie and Lina welcome producer Matt for their special Thanksgiving episode — which, as usual, goes completely off the rails. From cocktail conversations to family traditions, sharing their favorite traditions, questionable recipes, and chaotic holiday stories — it is a holiday treat that can ONLY come from Connie and Lina!
So join them for this slightly unhinged holiday escape.

How to Make an Airplane Cocktail
The original recipe calls for 3/4 ounce of each ingredient, shaken and served in a chilled coupe glass.
- ¾ oz Bourbon (a mid-shelf, 90-proof spirit like Bulleit or Woodford Reserve is recommended)
- ¾ oz Aperol (an Italian bitter aperitif)
- ¾ oz Amaro Nonino Quintessentia (a specific Italian herbal liqueur that is key to the drink's flavor profile; substitutions will change the taste)
