This was going to be a bonus episode but it turns out this is perfect wizards vs lesbians, so it's our first mainline episode with a guest! Joelle guides us through this extremely gay visual novel and we talk about the 90s a lot.
It's a sprawling space opera about being a child soldier (an emerging WL theme!) It also feels like it wants to be a movie, with all that that entails. An ambitious failure.
A Hallmark Christmas movie of a book, except it's Halloween and there are lesbians. This is a return to the world of chick lit and also the first in a trilogy of episodes about works which are extremely ideological, intentionally or otherwise.
A really good YA novel about found family, bad parents, small town schools and the power of a good Discord server to change lives. The selling point - that the server mod is an awakened AI - is the least interesting part of the whole thing, but hey, every book needs a hook.
This one's a hoot. A fast, funny, nasty book about interdimensional colonialism and structural inequality which manages to fold all manner of economic, racial and gender dynamics into a story which still manages to be a gripping tale of adventure featuring Evil Steve Jobs.
Hello! Welcome to our new podcast, where we talk about wizards, lesbians and the conflict that naturally arises between wizards and lesbians. Our first installment concerns a book that is absolutely stuffed with both, Tamsyn Muir's already-a-cult-classic Gideon the Ninth.
Kiana joins us to discuss one of Isaac's favorite games. We talk about furries, murder and a decidedly pre-Trump vision of rural Pennsylvania.
It's Chuck Tingle's debut novel! It's not great!
We discuss a series which is arguably foundational to the wizards vs lesbians microgenre (despite a distinct lack of lesbianism) with special guest Ann Leckie.
Bad news: you've gone to heaven, but it's a terrible English country village in space and your neighbors are not respecting your neurodivergence. Better climb the mountain that is God!
We answer questions about stuff we've read, and also stuff we haven't. Is the author still dead?
Could small-town football hero Coach Bakula not be what he seems?? A campy clusterfuck, three teen movies at once, and very enjoyable.
A support group for failed messiahs, a device to torture grad students by making them look at a door, the world's funniest surface to air missile - all this and more in a first novel that has no business being this good.
There's a good book in here! A real noir psychodrama in space. Unfortunately there's also a lot of stuff about space jews.
Two books starring a sexy supersoldier and her hot girlfriend. The first one is a melodrama with Politics, and the second is a teen movie that might actually achieve Minus Politics.
In which Angrboða and Loki get Extremely Divorced. Featuring the most canonically monstrous children of narcissistic parents yet - but despite all this, nobody gets monstered by the narrative, not even the world's most useless excuse for a husband.
Our shameless self-celebration returns once again, with full panel of judges in tow. But there's a twist!
P.H. Lee joins us to discuss another masterpiece. Read it if you haven't, it's short.
We continue our three-part series on books inspired by Norse mythology with The Valkyrie. This one wonders what would happen in Fafnir teamed up with Attila the Hun but is mostly about what a schmuck Siegfried was.
I think we slipped some good advice in here amidst the silliness?
