Oooh, I need to listen to this! I got to meet Guinevere Turner after her ClexaCon panel two weeks ago. My friend and I had gone back in to ask her a question and she ended up chatting with us for nearly half an hour. She’s so nice!!
love love LOVE the podcast and very excited to listen, follow, and survey myself
Whoa, the moment when you guys found out that Ilene Chaiken wrote all Jenny’s entrail poems was EPIC, I absolutely screamed. I always wondered if it was intentionally campy but you know she thought that was genuinely good writing.
This was super interesting and explains so much. Perhaps the show would have been consistent if its best writers had been kept around.
believe it or not (you will), there was even more screaming than we included in the podcast, just because it would’ve been a lot of weird noises to listen to all at once and a sort of high-pitched squealing
I usually find interview podcasts a little boring, but this one was incredible!!!! You guys had such great questions and Guinevere was so smart and unexpected and honest and hilarious! It made communities on a Saturday a real delight. I’m so glad you guys are making this podcast— Riese, you’re such a great writer and have such a unique voice and it’s great to be able to hear it, bc I miss it on autostraddle sometimes! (Though I know you’re very busy doing everything else.)
Commuting on a Saturday, ugh.
aww thanks!!!!
