Cody and Matt revisit one of their early podcast episodes where they talk about Venus Xtravaganza. Venus was an American transgender performer who came to national attention after her appearance in the 1990 documentary film Paris Is Burning. Venus met a grizzly death at 23, when she was found strangled and stuffed under a bed in a New York hotel room. The case remains cold and with lack of DNA from the scene it is unlikely the death will ever be solved. Her legacy lives on though in the LGBTQ community.
