ALS -To the moon and back
Welcome to To the Moon and Back. I’m Lisa Wright, and with me is Portia Turbo — iconic Sydney drag queen, trivia queen, perfume oracle, and a bestie of almost 15 years. We met at one of her infamous trivia nights and have spent years wandering art galleries, laughing ourselves silly, and navigating life’s unexpected twists together.
In this first episode, we talk honestly about friendship, joy, and my recent diagnosis of ALS — and what it means to face something big with humour, love, and the people who hold you up.

ALS - To The Moon and Back - Episode 1
To the Moon and Back is a new podcast hosted by Lisa Wright and iconic Sydney drag queen Portia Turbo — two longtime friends exploring life, love, art, perfume, dogs, grief, humour, and the unexpected twists that shape us.
In Episode One, Lisa shares her recent diagnosis of ALS and the two talk openly (and often hilariously - we thinks so anyway) about how life changes when everything changes — and how friendship becomes the anchor that gets you through.
Raw, real, thoughtful, warm, and sometimes wonderfully chaotic — this podcast feels like sitting with two friends who say the things everyone else tiptoes around.
Perfect for listeners who love honesty, heart, and an unfiltered look at what it means to be human.
