Tails & Tassels Podcast

Welcome to Tails and Tassels—the podcast where burlesque, nightlife, and cats collide! Hosted by Gemma Smith, manager at a Kitten Nursery by day and host of Catbaret—New York City’s cat-themed variety show—by night, this podcast dives deep into the artistry of performers and the feline friends who inspire them.

Each week, we bring you conversations with burlesque, nightlife, and variety artists, exploring their creative journeys, stage secrets, and, of course, their beloved cats. Plus, we feature episodes with experts—whether in feline care, cat-themed content, or the arts—sharing insights for both performers and cat lovers alike.

New episodes drop every Thursday! Thank you for listening! I’m paws-itively delighted you’re here!
