Scalawag Abolition Week: https://scalawagmagazine.org/abolition-week/

In this episode, our host Jess talks with author Cathleen Davies about her identity as a writer, her advice as a creative writing lecturer and her memoir And, Marvel. We follow the heartbreaking timeline from the death of DC, Cathleen’s former partner, to her time in the Basque Country writing her memoir, what it was like to write this book and how it came to be published. 
Just a quick note, this episode includes quite a few references to suicide and mental illness. If this is not for you, we totally understand, there are plenty of other lovely episodes on the Femme On channel you can try out instead.

For all things Alyson www.alysonshelton.com

Alyson and A.R. (Tony) Farina (from Indie Comics Spotlight and author of the forthcoming YA novel, Welcome to Mansfield) talk about “The Sexy Getting Ready Song” from the pilot of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend created by and starring Rachel Bloom. Tony sings the praises of the episode and the show and how it deconstructs so many tropes through its inventive musical approach. And in this scene it’s deconstructing all the rings women jump through to get ready for a date and how perhaps all the women are really dressing up for each other? ‘Cause really how many guys care that much? And they talk about the ones they love and how they love them no matter what they’re wearing (that sounds a little dirty and that’s OK). And as an added and unexpected bonus Alyson talks about her evolving relationship to musicals. It’s a fun episode and it’s a musical scene, does it get more festive? Have a listen!

Welcome to Disney Discussions, a wonderful podcast where Femme on producer and co-host Ria gets to chat to her lovely friends, Megan, Mike and Dan about Disney films. The good ones, the bad ones, the weird ones... all of them!

It’s time for Disney Discussions again and for the seventh episode, Ria takes the helm as we delve into our childhood cartoon crushes, featuring movies The Little Mermaid, Robin Hood, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame & Who Framed Roger Rabbit!

In more detail, the gang talk about when they crushed on their chosen characters (Jessica Rabbit, Prince Eric, Robin Hood & Esmeralda) and why, as well as discussing the movies they watched themselves, other characters in the films that are “crushworthy”, if their crushes hold up today, as well as animation, non-Disney crushes and more!

If you missed them, go back and listen to their previous Disney Discussions; the first, second, fourth, fifth & sixth are episodes 155, 163, 176, 180 & 192 of Genuine Chit-Chat and their third discussion is on Spider-Dan & The Secret Bores in late September 2022: https://pod.fo/e/143657!
