Today on the podcast, Andrea (https://bsky.app/profile/pajarito-botones.bsky.social), who co-hosted Gay Pirate News Hour with me on Dec 7th, has sent in her narration of the first two chapters of Up, Down, Turn Around by Shearwater.

Leave Shearwater a comment and a kudos:

"Up, Down, Turn Around": https://archiveofourown.org/works/43672797/chapters/109819575

This is Andrea’s first ever podfic narration so let’s be sure to give her plenty of encouragement and support! 

Up, Down, Turn Around is part of Shearwater’s Temptation ’Verse. It’s a modern AU where Ed is an artist and Stede is a bookseller. Those leaving comments on this fic love how Ed’s midlife crisis and ADHD brain are rendered. I think you’ll love what Andrea has done with this one.

Before we get into this fic, quick reminder that you are welcome to send in your own narrations of your favorite fanfics. Just get the author’s permission first and email the audio file to [email protected].

Also be sure to check out this week’s Haunted Hollywood Hour. Friday’s episode covers an actual UFO abduction that happened in the 1950s in Tujunga Canyon near Los Angeles. The main people involved were all lesbians so that’s why this incident isn’t talked about much in UFO lore. But I give you all the details from this out-of-print book on the subject, so you don’t want to miss it. 

Our next Gay Pirate News Hour will be Saturday Jan. 4, 2025 at 1PM Pacific/4PM Eastern.
