2 Girls, 1 Podcast ep#14 talks with lesbian werewolf author Allison Moon

May 2, 2012 – 4:33 pm |

Sorry we’ve been away for awhile folks. Working on this transition to Just Out. That’s why this podcast appears in both places. Keep listening and we’ll let you know when we have a regular weekly schedule again.

This episode we talk with author and educator Allison Moon, author of a sci fi lesbian werewolf romance Lunatic Fringe. She has a reading tonight at In Other Words and a reading and drinking event called Lit! with a great lineup tomorrow, so don’t miss either.

We then rope her in to talking with us about the Mars Hill vandalism blowup, the primary election (especially the mayoral race), and the upcoming queer documentary film festival QDoc. Plus I get excited about judging Homo’s Got Talent, especially getting to meet filmmaker David Weissman.

Oh, and I don’t think Lyska makes fun of me at all!
