March 22, 2012 Episode 69: the B-Side Roll
Welcome, Rioters, to a very special non-episode of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast. Remember episode 69? The one with the werewolf and the clinical therapist? Well, that conversation went long into the night, and not everything made it to the original cut.
Because we had such a fun time, and because much of that b-side roll added to the original conversation, I'm releasing about 100 minutes of some of the stuff that would otherwise go unplayed and sit in a folder on my external hard drive for all eternity.
Some of it's funny, some of it's quite serious, and all of it - in one way or another - I feel helps to give you a better understanding of my guests and, in a way, me.
Enjoy this rare listen to all the extra stuff that gets un-played when you do long interviews on Skype!
Some topics discussed are: Werewolf Sex, Hummingbird Gays, Atavism, Pagan Science Revisited, The Gay F Word, Thank You Nurses, Holy Water Condoms, Hear a Werewolf Growl (at the 56:01 mark), Really Big...Mics, Unimportant Ancestors, Guy Gardner, Sisters married to each other, Christo-Pagans (again), and Altar Transformers.
One last thing: In partnership with Eliora (ElegantlyEnchanting.Etsy.com), we're giving away some SWAG to those amazing Rioters who donate to help keep the show going.
To enter to win some of this amazing swag, check out the details here: http://www.incitingariot.com/2012/03/ostara-to-easter-swag-contest.html

February 22, 2012 Episode 68: Inciting A Conventional Riot
Episode 68: Inciting A Conventional Riot is a timely look at the ongoing conversation surrounding the controversy from the 2012 PantheaCon event that specifically excluded transgender women from a 'women-only' event.
Special guest Sophia Catherine of the Divine Community podcast joins me to discuss the various aspects of the controversy and to provide some perspective on the issue.
It should be noted: no specific conclusions or decisions, for lack of a better term, are reached in this episode. It would not be fair to make such assumptions, as all parties involved have not had a chance to speak.
It should also be noted, however, that both Z. Budapest and the organizers of Pantheacon were contacted for interview and/or statement. Z. did not respond, and the one PantheaCon representative that was interested in speaking was later denied permission to speak by Glenn Turner, the head of PantheaCon.
When I reached out for interviews, I contacted the 'programming' email address and the 'info' email address. A reply came from Jamie, the co-head of Programming for Pantheacon 2012. She was willing to give an interview if Glenn Turner, the chair of Pantheacon gave permission. I replied to both Glenn and Jamie, thanking them for their time and assuring them I would love the opportunity for them to speak for themselves rather than reading third party information online. This is the response I received this morning from Glenn:
Hi Fire Lyte
I'm sorry but Jamie is NOT authorized to speak for PantheaCon in an
interview such as you suggest.
I just got home yesterday at 4 pm and went straight to bed with a
sore throat. However I would NOT be interested in an interview today
or likely any day. Words can too easily be taken out of context.
Perhaps in a while, once I've had some time to finish my work with the
Con and my shop, I can craft a statement.
Personally, I wish the organizers would actually speak to the public, and further answer questions - or at least not stop someone who is willing to speak from doing so. However, that is their prerogative. Draw your own conclusions about what their decision not to speak on the matter means about the importance they place on the controversy at hand.
Please send any thoughts on these issues to [email protected].
Love and Lyte,
Fire Lyte
