When A Guy Has episodes

  • re: Pilot

    Hi all.


    It's been a while. I've missed you.


    The show is new. Things are different. There's a co-host now (s/o Roxy, she's great). There won't be guests until there are again.


    We'll be discussing City of Night by John Rechy next week, alongside, likely, at least: Esther Newton's Mother Camp, Jules Gill-Peterson's A Short History of Transmisogyny.

  • The Consequences of Fetishizing Gay Men

    Jolene is joined by James Frankie Thomas to discuss his life, his transition, and his novel, Idlewild. Topics include: bookstores, the quality of desire both on and off T, divorce, the Animorphs, and, of course, the fetishization of gay men.

    The intro and outro music is by Lynn July. You can listen to more of her music at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinytachyon.bandcamp.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  • When A Guy Writes 3: Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel

    The third episode of the reading series! Unfortunately, this reading series is going on hiatus so Jolene can work on some other projects. There was still another recorded before she decided to do that, though, so there'll be one more upload of a reading group discussion in the coming weeks. Also, stay tuned to the feed for a Classic WAGHARFG episode in the coming days.

  • So, which humour would that be?

    Jolene is joined by François·e Charmaille for a jaunt through the history of European sciences and sexes, for a discussion that begins with Hildegard of Bingen's analysis of humouric imbalances, and ends with François·e's proposal for a new understanding of the medieval concept of sodomy.

  • When A Guy Writes A Really Fucked Gender #1: Herculine Barbin

    Jolene hosts a reading group for Herculine Barbin's memoir! S/o to Rhea, Harper, and Logan for joining, discussion was lovely.

    You can join us for the next meeting on June 23rd, at 1PM CST for a discussion of the Autobiography of Alice B Toklas by Gertrude Stein, or for the meeting after that, a discussion of Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, on July 7th, also at 1PM CST.

    Both of those meetings will take place in the discord server linked here: https://discord.gg/DmxXMhJnu6

    Also, pop into the discord to keep the conversation going! I know at least a few of you read but couldn't make it so. If you have ideas that we didn't also have, or different reactions, or just. anything worth sharing! Go to the discord.

  • Fucked Genders of the Past: the Byzantine Empire

    This episode was a patreon only episode, but I decided to throw it up on the main feed by way of apology for falling behind on putting out episodes. Don't worry patreons, there's another one for you coming in just another day or two (or three, apologies).

    Jolene is joined by repeat guest Ilya to discuss his essay, out a few weeks ago in Gender and History, about history and methodology in Byzantine studies, and in general.

    Read their essay here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1468-0424.12754
