Someone call Judith Butler. We’ve got gender trouble.

Bri and Scott keep their seats on that Ann-train in Genre Stop’s second episode, as they discuss Ann Leckie’s “Ancillary Justice.”

Along the way, they ponder the correct pronunciation of alien names, the appeal of an ungloved hand, and the difficulty of marking a spaceship’s gender.

In this inaugural episode, Bri and Scott introduce the podcast, (try to) define what ‘genre fiction’ means to them, and consider their histories with the label.

They conclude with a discussion of the decades-old dragon-riding space romp that almost derailed the podcast before it even got started.
