When Hazel Moon steps behind the microphone, she is not simply “recording an audiobook”—she is midwifing a story into sound. In this article, read aloud in her own voice, Hazel Moon reveals the hidden labor, the intimate rituals, and the reverence that shape every finished audiobook. She brings listeners into the quiet sanctum of her work: the pre-dawn script study, the pronunciation hunts, the emotional mapping, the obsession with silence as its own form of punctuation.

She refuses shortcuts. She refuses caricature. She refuses to perform characters as hollow soundbites. Instead, she embodies the breath, the cadence, the energy of each figure on the page. Her method is a discipline of devotion—four hours of preparation, performance, editing, and mastering for every one hour delivered to the listener’s ears.

In an industry that often celebrates speed and spectacle, Hazel Moon stands firmly in the lineage of women who choose craft over convenience. Her voice work is an act of stewardship. Precision. Tenderness. And a fierce respect for the author’s creation. This read-aloud is a masterclass in the art of doing things well.

Hazel Moon is a narrator who approaches her craft like a scholar, an artist, and a guardian all at once. She studies the entire text before she records a word—tracking emotional peaks, character instincts, and the architecture of the story. Her refusal to “fake” deep male voices or drown narration in accents is not modesty; it’s mastery. She prioritizes truth over theatrics.

Her process is rigorous: consistent mic setup, meticulous editing, silence shaped with intention, and final mastering to ACX technical precision. She does not rush. She does not cut corners. “Each recorded hour takes at least four,” she states—and the depth of her work proves it. Hazel is not merely reading a book. She is resurrecting it.

Hazel Moon reminds us that storytelling is sacred work—and that when a woman lends her voice to a book, she is performing an act of artistic lineage.

In this piercing and tender conversation, author felicia klingenberg joins The Red Tent Storytellers to read from her memoir a little bit of god — a haunting chronicle of survival, silence, and self-discovery. From the ashes of childhood trauma to the light of creative defiance, Felicia’s words remind us that truth-telling is sacred work, and women’s stories are revolutions in themselves.

Listen, feel, and remember: we are not alone in the telling.

When Felicia Klingenberg began writing a little bit of god⁠ , she was doing more than crafting a memoir — she was excavating truth from centuries of silence.

In this deeply moving episode of The Red Tent Storytellers, felicia joins Blackbird Peeja for an intimate conversation about memory, art, anger, and the long road to healing. Together, they explore the courage it takes to face family, faith, and the shadow of trauma — and the redemptive beauty of finding voice after decades of repression.

From her first poem at eight years old to her adult confrontation with truth, Felicia’s journey is both a warning and a beacon. Her story spans the forbidden, the feminine, and the fiercely sacred — a testimony to every woman who has ever been told to stay quiet.

“When I open the pages of a book, I open the doors of a prison — not to release the prisoners, but to join them.”

— Felicia Klingenberg, a little bit of god.

Felicia Klingenberg is an author, survivor, and truth-teller whose words pulse with courage. Her memoir, A Little Bit of God, spans four centuries of lineage, faith, and defiance — tracing the ripple effects of generational trauma and the quiet revolutions born from confronting it.

In this episode, she speaks with surgical precision about the cultural silencing of abused children, the patriarchal rot inside “respectable” families, and the rage that ultimately becomes fuel for transformation. Her story isn’t only about survival; it’s about alchemy — transmuting suffering into language, anger into clarity, and silence into art. Through her lyrical honesty, Felicia becomes both witness and warrior for every woman learning to trust her own voice again.

Felicia’s words remind us that liberation begins the moment we dare to name what was never supposed to be spoken.

In this wickedly funny and disarmingly honest episode of The Scarlet Frequency, The Tasty Terf takes us on a nostalgic romp through her lifelong love affair with bread and cheese — two ride-or-dies who eventually turned into dietary double agents.

It’s a story of childhood comfort, adult betrayal, and the bittersweet grief of giving up the foods that once felt like home. From Velveeta sandwiches to gluten-free despair, My Two BFFs: Bread and Cheese is equal parts eulogy and stand-up routine, delivered with biting humor and tender self-awareness.

Read aloud by Peeja Blackbird in her role as The Tasty Terf, this episode reminds us that sometimes, the most sacred separations aren’t romantic — they’re culinary.

In this charged and luminous episode of Red Tent Storytellers, filmmaker Vaishnavi Sundar joins Peeja Blackbird and Nat La Pirate for a conversation that unfolds like a manifesto in motion — equal parts grief, grit, and gallows humor. From her childhood in patriarchal India to her evolution as one of the fiercest feminist documentarians of our time, Vaishnavi takes us through the making of Behind the Looking Glass — a film that shatters the silence surrounding the wives and children of men who claim to be women.

What begins as a discussion of filmmaking becomes something far more sacred: a reflection on the inheritance of womanhood, the solitude of resistance, and the quiet miracle of hope. Vaishnavi speaks of cleaning floors while men dined, of learning to listen to her own body, of creating art from the ashes of erasure. She reminds us that hope isn’t fragile — it’s defiant. It takes courage to imagine a freer world while living inside a broken one.

This episode is a love letter to women who refuse to disappear — the storytellers, the fighters, the dreamers, and the mothers still daring to believe that art can be weapon and balm at once.

Vaishnavi Sundar is an Indian filmmaker, writer, and activist — founder of Lime Soda Films and the global platform Women Making Films. Her body of work, spanning over a decade, exposes the cracks in culture where women’s voices have been buried: from But What Was She Wearing? — India’s only documentary on workplace sexual harassment — to Dysphoric and Behind the Looking Glass, which dare to center women erased by gender ideology.

Driven by what she calls “humor and rage,” Vaishnavi has built her career without film-school privilege — learning by doing, failing loudly, and refusing to bow to censorship. In this episode, she speaks of filmmaking as both labor and liberation: “It felt like birth,” she says, recalling her first film. “It was sweat, exhaustion, and joy — proof that I existed.”

Her work is not entertainment; it’s testimony. Her art is a torch passed from hand to hand — proof that women everywhere are still here, still seeing, still filming.

Vaishnavi reminds us that every woman has a story — and every story deserves to be heard, unfiltered and unafraid.

When a woman like Kara Dansky speaks, the air sharpens.

In this intimate and unflinching episode of The Red Tent Storyteller, Kara—lawyer, author, and unapologetic defender of women’s sex-based rights—lays down her journey from idealistic public defender to battle-hardened feminist warrior.

From her working-class upbringing in Ohio to the halls of Johns Hopkins and the ACLU, Kara’s story is one of awakening, rebellion, and refusal to be silenced.

Through laughter, memory, and hard truth, she reminds us that every woman’s voice matters—that sisterhood is not a brand, but a birthright. She shares how betrayal by institutions once trusted has become fuel for a global movement of women who will not yield. Her calm precision and razor wit slice through the noise, offering both a reckoning and a rallying cry.

This episode isn’t just conversation—it’s legacy work. It’s the sound of one woman reclaiming the word woman, and inviting all of us to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the storm.

Kara Dansky is an attorney, feminist advocate, and author of The Abolition of Sex and The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls. A former public defender, Stanford Criminal Justice Center executive director, and ACLU campaigner, Kara now devotes her life to documenting and resisting the erasure of sex-based rights.

Her voice carries both lived compassion and legal firepower—proof that intellect and conviction can coexist with grace.

From defending female inmates to challenging federal policy, Kara has become one of the most recognizable and respected truth-tellers in the modern women’s rights movement. Her Substack, The TERF Report, serves as both archive and arsenal in the ongoing cultural war for truth.

In this conversation, Kara dismantles false narratives, reclaims language, and reminds women everywhere: we are not fringe—we are the frontline.

Every woman has a story. Kara’s is a masterclass in courage.

If her words lit a spark in you, don’t let it fade.
