In this bonus episode, I sit down with Associate Professor of English in Women's and Gender Studies at Williamette, Allison P. Hobgood. We interrogate how crip sexuality, disability and Shakespeare go together by looking at his play Measure by Measure. Through the play, we talk about how in Shakespearean times crip corporeality has always been there whether we realized it or not. This episode brought my love of history, disability and sexuality back together, and I had to share with you. Enjoy!

In this very special bonus episode, I sit down with one of my podcast colleagues and someone who I totally admire, Jeremie Saunders. He is the one of the hosts of the wildly popular podcasts Sickboy" all about finding the funny in chronic illness and/or disability and "Turn Me On", a podcast wherein he explores sexuality topics with his wife, Bryde.
