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 explore 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.  We’re launching with three episodes on October 3rd, with new episodes dropping every other Thursday. Subscribe, rate, and review the podcast, and connect with us on Instagram @tailsandtasselspod. Thank you for listening! I'm paws-itively delighted you're here.
