Welcome to the first episode of "The Joy in Killjoy," a podcast about finding joy and queer happiness in a world that can feel overwhelming and bleak. Hosts Mel and Shawna are two feminists on a quest to discover joy in unexpected places, by exploring a different theme in each episode.

In this episode, Mel and Shawna dive into the theme of "playful," discussing their own interpretations and experiences with play. Shawna shares her love for board games, bar trivia, and feminist game design, while Mel talks about finding time for play after cancer treatment and the demands of care work, as well as her passion for poetry.

Together, they explore what it means to be playful as feminists and queer people in a world that often feels hostile to those identities. They discuss the ways in which play can be a radical act, reclaiming joy and pleasure in the face of oppression.

Join Mel and Shawna as they embark on their quest for joy and queer happiness, one theme at a time. Tune in to "The Joy in Killjoy" to explore the playful side of life and discover new ways to find joy in unexpected places.
