It's a girls' boarding school in the 1920s - a time and a place that might cause a reader to indulge in flights of romantic fantasy, which this book first indulges and then dismantles. Whenever and wherever we are, the question remains: who gets to b... more
Lee joins us to discuss the latest Raadchaii book. (Our policy remains: if there are Raadchaii, there are lesbians.) This is a hearty meal (ironically) if you're interested in religion, colonialism and/or political power - and, of course, there's can... more
We were promised Moby Dick in space with lesbians, and that's what we got. It's kind of a thankless task, being Moby DIck in space with lesbians - particularly if you're not playing it for laughs, which this book isn't - because the best you're ever ... more

I’m super enjoying this podcast! The hosts give thoughtful and intelligent analysis of the books; also they are just plain fun to listen too. I’ve read a worryingly large amount of the books they discuss, so when I see one for something I haven’t read I get to add it to my too read lists, another treat :) Absolutely recommend to anyone who like books and thinking about books!
This is the genre of books and the taste in critique I needed. I’ve read many of these but I do enjoy their takes. Great show I’m glad they’re making it

Fans of speculative fiction with a strong emphasis on queer representation and literary analysis will likely enjoy in-depth, thoughtful conversations about a wide range of books—from cyberpunk-inflected novels to modernist and feminist classics—through a critical, and often witty, lens. Across episodes, the hosts explore themes of gender, sexuality, power, and culture, offering rigorous critique, content warnings when needed, and a book-club vibe that mixes personal reaction with scholarly context. A standout trait is their willingness to connect genre fiction to broader social and political questions, while maintaining a playful, informal banter that makes dense material accessible. The format tends to attract listeners who enjoy cross-gen... more
