This week Jenn and Mary welcome friend of the pod AE, from the podcast AE Reads Skiffily, to help us tackle Alien Virus Love Disaster, a short story collection about sciece and sex and sexy science. Join us as we analyse this collection by Abbey Mei Otis, and try to find balance between the stories' serious themes and awkward sex scenes, cause there is plenty of both in this collection. And don't forget to check out AE Reads Skiffily for more fun with short stories with our friend AE!
