She made the jump to audio-lover in Baltimore as a digital media editor at Mid-Atlantic Media and Laureate Education, Inc. and as a field producer for "Out of the Blocks." Her beat is typically the off-beat with an emphasis on science, culture and things that make you say, 'Wait, what?'

I can’t remember when I first met Lori Yanke, or rather, heard about her via social media and the Baltimore restaurant world. Sometimes those two things don’t equal each other. I mean, isn’t it true that sometimes you follow someone’s work (and social media account…) you feel as if you know them? That happens in my brain all the time. And, then, when I actually meet them, I am all awkward, trying to play it cool and not come off as a complete weirdo. I’d say I’m 50/50 on that.

Saturday: Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Season 5 Tour at Fillmore Silver Spring. Unless you’re a Ministry devotee, you may not realize every day is Halloween. Unless you’re a drag aficionado over the age of 30, you may not realize there’s an entire drag ecosystem outside of RuPaul’s World of Wonder. If the Venn diagram of your interests of all things spooky and all things drag has a lot of overlap, boy, do we have a show to tell you about! The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula has been existing outside the mainstreamification of drag since premiering in 2016. With five seasons of the main show, and two spinoffs—currently streaming, first on YouTube, then Amazon Prime and Netflix, now Shudder—the most recent cast is taking the show on the road for a summer tour. Lucky for them, and you, one stop includes the Fillmore Silver Spring, a venue with excellent air-conditioning. (It gets hot in tiny clubs and it gets really hot in intricate costumes!) Also, this live show is all ages, so if you are pals with a drag fan too young for clubs, this is an excellent opportunity for some spooky, in-person drag exposure. Related, if you are a Ru diehard and can’t envision yourself supporting non-Ru queens, this tour is produced by Obsessed, the same folks that produce the Trixie and Kayta, Monét X Change, Bob the Drag Queen, Sasha Velour, Adore Delano, Ginger Minj, Miz Cracker, and other Drag Race alum road shows. Once again, every day is Halloween. Embrace the season. Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Season 5 Tour stars at 8 p.m. on May 25 at Fillmore Silver Spring, 8656 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. livenation.com $46–$101. —Brandon Wetherbee.
