The Official RuPaul's Drag Race Podcast was a podcast produced by World of Wonder which recapped and discussed every episode of RuPaul's Drag Race from Season 11 to All Stars 6, including some international editions. The podcast was mostly hosted by Drag Race producer John Polly until February 2021, when comedian Alec Mapa and Canada's Drag Race winner Priyanka took over as co-hosts. Guests included past Drag Race contestants, judges and celebrity superfans. Episodes varied in length from 30 minutes to an hour. The podcast premiered in 2019 and lasted until 2021; a year later the podcast was succeeded by Squirrel Friends: The Official RuPaul's Drag Race Podcast, co-produced by World of Wonder with MTV and iHeartMedia and co-hosted by Alec Mapa and Loni Love.

Down Under Season 1[]
This season was the first full season to be hosted by Alec Mapa and Priyanka. For this season, if either Alec or Priyanka is not hosting an episode the sole host is included among the guests.
Possibly due to clashing with the schedule of Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman's Canada's Drag Race podcasts, the production of the All Stars 5 recap podcasts stopped abruptly at Episode 5.
Regular RuPaul's Drag Race judges Michelle Visage and Ross Mathews have appeared as guests on the podcast.
Every episode of the Canada's Drag Race recap podcasts (excluding the top three episode) featured an interview segment with the queen that was eliminated in that episode.
Kenyon Glover (S1), Keon Hunt (S1), Preston Taylor (S1), Emanuel Palmer (S2), Max "The Body" Philisaire (S2), Shawn Morales (S3-6), Jason Carter (S3-S13), Miles Davis Moody (S6-9), Simon Sherry Wood (S6), Bryce Eilenberg (S7-S13), Jared North (S9), Yadier Despaigne (S9), Bruno Carvalho (AS4-S13)
