/report!: yaoi, yaoi everywhere

[rageprufrock]

Come one, come all (no, seriously), /reporters! After several geologic eras of my incubating whatever disease killed Gwyneth Paltrow in Contagion, we're finally back to Sunday evening posting! This week mklutz and I are joined by Lianne Sentar of Sleep Is For The Weak to talk about yaoi, boys love, some of its history, some of its many questionable and delightful facets, to give the curious or the nostalgic recommendations, and then we spend some time advocating mklutz's future career in audio porn.

(Fair warning to listeners, as a natural result of the subject matter, we talk quite a bit about dubious consent and nonconsensual sex.)

I cannot even tell you how much I loved, loved, loved the discussion this week. Like, amazing talk about the Female Gaze and talk about Hot Gimmick-- reminded me a lot about the talk about Twilight and its negative messages. So much love for this ep, I think it's my new favorite. Thanks for the interesting, thought-provoking discussion. And Lianne, you are extremely articulate on this topic and I loved hearing your thoughts on yaoi.

OH YEAH, I TOTALLY USED THAT AND IT MADE SENSE IN CONTEXT. omg, this week should have been called "Our thoughts on yaoi". BEST. BEST.

OT: Pru, you listen to a lot of podcasts? Um, can you rec anything? I've always wanted to get into podcasts but couldn't because there is so much. Just. Wondering, yanno.

Aw...thank you. I've been told I analyze female erotica too deeply and talk way, way too much about it, so this is really encouraging. BUT IT WILL NOT HELP ME STOP TALKING ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY AT NICE PLACES.

I absolutely agree. Lianne rocked it as a guest speaker! Totally engaging and utterly enjoyed hearing your thought process on things.

Pru, please do tell us what other podcasts you listen to. C'mon fess up!
