EMPRESS OF FOREVER

It's Journey to the West but with lesbians, in space! Or, alternately, lesbian Tony Stark wrestles with her own capacity for evil. What's not to like?

May 23, 2021•1 hr 3 min•Ep. 8

It's our first retro episode! We read a book from 1990 in which a magical Irish harpist (who lives in Denver) takes on the immortal elves who have stolen her girlfriend using the power of heavy metal - and friendship. It's a hoot. Many thanks to my buddy Phoebe, AKA moltenglassheart, for providing the fresh guitar lick on the intro. If you'd like to check out her music (which features both heavy metal and space lesbians), head to https://soundcloud.com/moltenglassheart

NINEFOX GAMBIT

In this episode we discuss Ninefox Gambit, a book about calendars, empire, and war, and the first in a number of books we'll discuss wherein the wizard lives inside the lesbian's head, rent-free, and literally.

THE UNSPOKEN NAME

In this episode we talk about The Unspoken Name by A. K. Larkwood, which is maybe our favorite wizards vs. lesbians tale ( for now) , and which is like the Locked Tomb meets Planescape, but with added Themes.

GIDEON THE NINTH

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.
