Send us a text

Conjoined goes back to its origins as a recap pod, and now it's gone to grad school. Tei and Bees discuss the first episode of Interview with THE Vampire.

Topics include queer theorists, Catholicism, parallels with Hannibal, more Catholicism, and the most pressing question of all: what's in vampire pee?

Notes: If you've watched the show, there will be a point where you'll go, "Wait, that's not what happens next!" Don't worry, we double back and make sure the moment gets its due.

This week, we talk to Caitlin Starling, author of The Luminous Dead and The Death of Jane Lawrence. We touched on the behind-the-scenes of traditional publishing, differences in writing fanfiction and original fiction, disembowelment as a regular motif in her work, and some pro-tips on keeping your beard fresh and fancy when you've been imprisoned due to the wily machinations of your erstwhile psychiatrist.

Please be advised that if you find the sound of a dog panting uncomfortable, bees's dog makes an appearance at 1:11, and the noise lasts for about 30 seconds.
