In this episode of Femme On Creatives, Ada speaks with author and visual artist Amie Souza Riley, discussing her book Human/Animal. They speak about the genesis of Amie's book Human / Animal: A Bestiary in Essays and discuss if there is a catharsis in writing and publishing personal work.Find out more about Amie: https://amiesouzareilly.com/Thank you for listening.

Ria speaks with Femme On co-host Alyson Shelton about her amazing poetry series, Where I'm From. As Alyson nears her 200th episode she shares the importance of sharing stories and how she started the series for herself.George Ella Lyon's Where I'm From started as a poetry prompt for Alyson, and after completing her poem, she thought, “What if I shared these prompts and people shared their poems with me? Could be fun.” And it was. Alyson has had nearly 200 guests share their poems on Instagram Live, making space for people's voices and hearing people's stories.Find out more about Alyson's series: https://www.alysonshelton.com/where-im-from.html#/And find out more about Alyson, of course! https://www.alysonshelton.com/#/

It's time for another Ria's questions! This time, the collective answers the age old question of... Would you rather fridge cold chocolate or room temperature chocolate?There's a split in the collective with this question, mostly between those who want to eat chocolate straight away and those who are surprisingly specific about how they eat chocolate.

Our host, Jess speaks with friend of the podcast and author A R Farina about Becky Chambers’ Psalm for the Wild Built. Jess and Tony chat about having respectful conversations with humans (or robots) that don’t share your experiences, why having a purpose is not the end of the world, and hope. Tony also talks us through his second Austen Chronicles book, That Other Dashwood Girl, widely available to buy! Don’t forget to leave a review if you read it, it really helps other people discover it. Find Tony on Instagram @a.r.farinaFind Jess on Instagram @jess_bdavies

This episode was first published in March 2023With season two of The Last of Us in full swing, we are resharing this awesome episode.Ria leads a discussion with Alyson, Tonya and special guest Michelle Yang about the women of HBO's The Last of Us. They discuss the naunced female characters, all who have their own agency and point of view and how this enhances the overall story. Michelle is a writer and mental health advocate and you can follow Michelle's amazing work at michelleyangwriter.com or via Instagram: @michelleyangwriter

This episode was first published in February 2023Alyson and Ria Carrogan (host of Femme on Film and founder of the Femme On Collective) talk about the HAND FLEX from Joe Wright’s film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (watch the scene here on YouTube here) starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennett and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy. They talk about how this is the sexiest non-sexual scene in the world, thank you female gaze! And how they appreciate watching a scene and a movie that taps into the mystery of attraction. And of course, they can’t help but fangirl out a bit on Jane Austen. We’re guessing they’ll be a full episode of Femme on Film devoted to this very movie sometime soon.Come have a listen!Ria’s Instagram: @riacarroganAlyson’s Instagram: @byalysonshelton - Alyson’s Website: www.alysonshelton.com
