  • “Queer Food” with Alex Ketchum and Megan Elias

    “Queer Food” with Alex Ketchum and Megan Elias
    2026/02/17
    What is queer food, you ask? Let’s find out! Alex Ketchum and Megan Elias tell me all about the connections between gender and food, cooking and sexuality, and recipes and community. The amazing book Queers at the Table is a product of the queer food conference Alex and Megan ran in 2024 (returning in 2026!) and consists of essays, stories, comics and endlessly inspiring reflections on queer cooking and intellectual inquiry. Lesbian chefs, feminist cafes, queer community cookouts – this episode has them all.

    3. How is gender connected to food? Were you surprised by anything we mention?
    4. What connections do Megan and Alex draw between sexuality and food?

  • “Lean Cat, Savage Cat” with Lauren J. Joseph

    “Lean Cat, Savage Cat” with Lauren J. Joseph
    2026/02/03
    The incredible author Lauren J. Joseph joins me to talk about her new book Lean Cat, Savage Cat – out on 26 February 2026. Lauren talks about the genre-bending ambiguity of the novel, about characters that have followed her from the stage to the page, and about writing across languages. We touch on the intricacies of first-person narration, but also on what it’s like to write a novel versus writing a PhD.

  • “Queer Exiles” with Ben Robbins

    “Queer Exiles” with Ben Robbins
    2026/01/20
    From Christopher Isherwood to Djuna Barnes, some of the most prolific queer writers of the 20th century wrote in exile. Ben Robbins joins me to explain how and why queer writers connected with each other in exile and how (in)voluntary movement shaped their stories. Ben shares some surprising encounters from the archives and paints a picture of some of the locations of queer exile: Berlin, Tangier and Capri.
