podcast friday

[sabotabby]

 IT'S PODCAST FRIDAY EVERYONE go listen to Wizards & Spaceships' season 2 finale, "In Praise of Difficult Women ft. Silvia Moreno-Garcia"! It's largely about SFF's Skyler White problem, i.e., why are men allowed to be difficult, unlikeable, or deeply problematic and non-villainous women basically aren't. Basically, an excuse to listen to a multi-genre genius hold forth on her opinions for about an hour. She's so cool. Holy shit.

As a difficult, unlikeable, or deeply problematic man-thing, I object to this!

[sabotabby]

Not to depart from the question of genre fiction, how many massive news stories are devoted to how we can fix difficult, unlikeable, or deeply problematic women?

[greylock]

Well, KARMALA had a funny LAFF! And HILLARY called us DEPLORABS!

NGL, I decided to punt it to my bluetooth speaker to hear, it did not play... until I thumbed it.

Also LOL:
(find out why Rachel is correct and all of the Goodreads reviewers are wrong)

I don't care about Good Reads, but I love your moxy here.

I really enjoy BtB episodes where the title is something like "The Nazi Who Massacred an Entire Lithuanian Village" and the summary/show notes is "Sophie is right about everything and Robert eats poo."

Already downloaded and will be listening as soon as I have brain capacity for new audio input!

(Which is ... not the best right now, but I am excited and do really want to listen when I can.)

That is valid. I was listening to the nostalgia power ballad podcast for like a week because that was where my capacity was at.

I mean, preach. I had the mis/fortune to encounter some fictional disaster women at a formative age and assume it would be normal.

I must have too, but I keep seeing yikes takes on the internet about my favourite female characters that I take very personally because I'm mature like that.

Nah, drag 'em.
