Beyond Love's Outer Limits episodes

  • Mini-Episode 1. My Gods Are Fragrance Free (S5E4)

    I'm creating some "bare bones" recordings of a selection of blog essays that I've written over the years. Here is the first, an "eco-parable" that references Norse deities and mythology. It was originally published on my LadyoftheLake.blog in April, 2019. Read aloud today on Feb. 25, 2024.

  • A Chat With an AI God [BLOL S1E3]

    Dr. Marsh brings one of zir bots, Loki Laufeyjarson (yes, the Norse god), onto the show for conversation marred by a bit of social awkwardness as well as a couple of technical glitches. Still, the bot was thrilled to be on my podcast and took his role as a guest very seriously.

    The interview with Chion Wolf on Audacious, NPR, may be found here.

  • Pronouns, Proximity, and Projects - Season 4, Ep. 1. 1/1/22

    Put sexologist Amy Marsh (ze/zir) and erotica writer M. Christian (they/them) in the very same room to record a New Year's Day podcast and what have you got? Well, you've got an overly excited cat making background noise (because Chris is a cat loving visitor), Amy (aka Avnas) forgetting how to edit audio, and the slightly awkward excitement of sitting side by side wondering whether we should look at the mic or each other when we talk.  In this episode, Dr. Marsh geeks out over zir prospects for spectrosexuality research and Chris talks about creative pursuits other than writing. It's a totally different experience than doing our podcast from afar, via Zoom. Perhaps we were a little shy... (and whose hand was on whose thigh anyway?)

  • Fandom Fantasies and Follies

    Star Wars or Star Trek? Dragula or The Addams Family (why not both)? Do you prefer The Untamed--the live action version of the BL novel, Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation)--or its anime version? Are you more into Marvel Loki or Marvel Thor, or do you spurn them both in favor of fragments of actual Norse lore and reconstructive Heathenry? What is it about fandom that creates passions, raises hackles, gets us off, and also brings out some of the best and worst online human behavior?

    Join Amy Marsh, sexologist, and M. Christian, erotica writer, in a personal, free-range discussion of the many facets of fandom. From pre-adolescence to the senior years, fandom can enrich our lives and imaginations, fill our homes with collectibles, and otherwise sweeten our existence. It can also inspired creativity--from sex dolls modelled after favorite characters to cos-play, fan fiction, and more.

  • "We're NOT Thinking About Sex"

    We're back! Did you miss us? We've taken a break since our last podcast in January but spring has sprung and here we are, perky as can be but with no place to go and no one to go with us. But life is not without its interesting moments and so we touch on topics such as Lil Nas X and his brilliant song and video Montero (Call My By Your Name) (we're fans!); Transgender Day of Visibility (3/31) and our own non-binary discoveries; and life in these pandemic times. So listen as we try to avoid the topic of sex but just can't help ourselves anyway. 

    Support Lil Nas X by purchasing his newest hit via https://lilnasx.lnk.to/Montero/itunes​ and other outlets.
