Tails and Tassels
Hello, kitty cats! Welcome to Tails and Tassels. I'm your host, Gemma Smith. By day, I'm a manager at a Kitten Nursery in NYC, and by night, I host the Catbaret!, a cat-themed variety show!
In this podcast, you'll dive into the world of burlesque and nightlife performers—their craft, their cats, and how these two worlds collide. Plus, enjoy bonus episodes featuring feline experts answering your burning questions.
New episodes drop every Thursday. If you like what you hear, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast and connect with us on Instagram.
Thank you for listening! I'm paws-itively delighted you're here.
