Show Notes

As a Pride Month treat, enjoy this remastered version of last year's episode about La Chevalière d'Éon, with special guest Maya Deane!

Maya's book Wrath Goddess Sing was recently nominated for a Lambda Literary Award, and has just come out in paperback, so it seemed a great time to revisit this, one of my favourite interviews!
