This week's guest writes one of my favourite substacks – Unravelling Daydreams – it is poetic and the imagery is beautiful and I have FOR SURE CRIED with hope and then giggled with her wit while reading it. I am delighted to welcome Phoebe Hancock (she/her) to the podcast! As well as her substack, Phoebe is a host for The London Writers' Salon, holding space for writers worldwide. Phoebe was introduced to me by a mutual friend who said "Hey, this person is writing about lesbian vampires. I think you'll get along!" They were 100% right. Enjoy this conversation filled with tenderness, openness, hope, and laughter.

In this episode:

-Phoebe identifies as a lesbian. Very much. She loves it.

-Looking at lesbians in history is a huge part of Phoebe's life. Iconic!

-We talk about love spells written by queer women! Heartbreakingly beautiful!

-Padro Pascals' knees. Yep.

-Halloween is the perfect day to come out!

-We relate when it comes to CHOOSING to have a crush on a boy!

-Travel makes us very queer!

-We love a Cottage Core Lesbian aka Phoebe!

-Queer films are meant to be watched while in the bath!

-This coming out involves a response of "Oh, thank god!"

-It's so cool to be able to put our queerness (and our real selves) into our art!

-Coming out as a slow explosion, and holding people cookie-hostage is how we think it should be done!

-Haggis that the Queen eats or no haggis!
