Have you ever been frustrated by trying to get a word in edgewise in a conversation, with everyone else talking over you? Have you ever been frustrated by people who expect you to read their minds, instead of just telling you what they want? I’m listening to episode 6 of the podcast while gardening; this […]

Are people tired of pandemic processing? I actually found it kind of fascinating listening to episode 5 of our podcast, recorded when we were two months into the pandemic (in May 2021). On the one hand, as Benjamin Rosenbaum notes in his intro, he was way more optimistic about Switzerland’s response than ended up warranted,

I kind of want to retitle episode 4 of our podcast: When Good Podcasts Go Wrong. Gah. I spent a fair bit of time this weekend (while pruning trees) listening to the last few episodes of our podcast. It’s a little surreal, listening to myself argue with Benjamin Rosenbaum for an hour or two at

I’m a little behind on listening to my own podcast — I started listening to episode 2 again (I think it’s episode 2, we had some numbering difficulties early on), the one that’s called the Toilet Seat Con Hook-up, and the whole first chunk is me and Benjamin arguing pretty vehemently about genre boundaries —

Ep. 2 of MRAH is out now! In this podcast episode Benjamin Rosenbaum and I start out arguing about genre definitions, and end up talking about marriage and polyamory, and I swear, it all connects eventually? Sort of kind of? It made sense to us at the time, anyway…. (Side note — we’re slowing down

I didn’t get all the writing done that I’d hoped to do over the break — I did almost no writing. But the house is cleaner (due in no small part to Jed helping), I’ve caught up on most of the urgent things I was behind on, and I feel overall less stressed, which I

It’s a little surreal, somehow, seeing our podcast on my phone. Benjamin Rosenbaum and I made a podcast! How bizarre. I think it will be of interest to writers and editors and teachers and anyone who is trying to make positive change in their community, but we won’t really know for a while whether anyone

I adore the Patreon levels that Benjamin Rosenbaum came up with for our podcast. They make me smile. $2 / month: Scorpions of Bellona — While you’re smashing things in the ruined, irrational city of your dreams, why not join our gang? This level comes with membership in the Speculative Literature Foundation, and Show Notes

Getting closer to podcast launch, eep. In theory, TOMORROW, although in truth, we may take a few more days, as we’re finalizing various edits, and there’s really no need to make ourselves super-harried, since the ‘launch date’ is entirely self-imposed. But we’ll see. Maybe we’ll have a podcast dropping tomorrow? That would be rather exciting.

Recorded another session of the podcast today, interviewing Liz Gorinsky of Erewhon Books. We are ALMOST done recording for season 1, which is pretty darn cool — I think we just have one more sesion to record with Ellen & Delia, and one with some of the Wild Cards authors, and then we’re done, and
