Swords & Sapphics

This week we properly introduce Swords, Sapphics & Scribbles with the ongoing month-long writing event #CampPride. We also share what we need before sitting down to write our own WIPs and what we do to reward ourselves (because that's always needed).

Dearest gentle listener, these podcasters have much to say about the newest season of Bridgerton. After a much needed catch up, we share our thoughts on the popular regency show's latest installment, including our love for Nicola Coughlan and the introduction of not one, but two, queer storylines.

We're back after our short break! This week, we bring you an interview with award-winning crime author Rachel McLean. She tells us how she plots her murders (fictional, of course), how she came to write full-time with the Dorset Crime series, and how her own relationship to her sexuality inspired main character DCI Lesley Clarke's journey as a later-in-life lesbian.

For this week's episode we were joined by another podcasting duo – the Librorians! We found out how they started their podcast and what listeners can find when tuning in. They shared what they love about working in a library, but also what it's like these days, especially with all the book bans happening across the US.

This week, we bring you a very exciting episode! We chat about A Sweet Sting of Salt with none other than Rose Sutherland! She told us how this wonderful story came to be, what inspired her writing and perhaps a little tease on what comes next.

For this week's episode, we've watched two queer movies, Good Grief and Bottoms, and chatted about them! We of course started with a catch-up and ended up spilling some book twitter tea (we also hated on Taylor Swift, so be aware).
