    The indescribably brilliant Jen Ives joins host & MC James Ross as, alongside her stellar QL set, she talks about separating the art from the artist, care work and playing on cis guilt.

    EDITOR'S NOTE: James has really set me a challenge on this one, getting Jen to record in what sounds like a palanquin carried by buses across the Hammersmith Flyover. I've done my best but there are traffic noises throughout. Apologies.

  • Nov 19 The Widows Of Eastwick By John Updike
    It's the end of Season 1! Thanks for listening, see you next year!
    cw: NSFW, death, cults, extensive misogyny, fatphobia, discussions of racism (specifically against Native Americans, Asians, Egyptians), homophobic language, ableist language, animal cruelty, reference to pedophilia, fetishisation of lesbians, biphobia.
    This week, Grace tells G, Tosin, Nemo, Steve and Lisa about the Widows of Eastwick written by "masterful" John Updike. There's a distressing lack of frogs in teacups, a distressing amount of erection-based death sentences, gay people are literally The Devil, and there are so, so many holidays. This was recorded before "OK Boomer" became a meme but trust me, this book is a big OK Boomer mood.

    Trans Reading list: Honestly, I’d start with reading something free and easy to access: fanfiction. To get an idea of how trans bodies can be written into fiction in a ‘normative’ way (ie. in a way that does not reduce the ‘male’ or ‘female’ body to a penis or a vagina read something from this link: it’s filtered for trans characters, so find a fandom you enjoy and let it rip!
