Shownotes Transcript

Ahoy! I'm taking a few weeks off over the festive period to recharge (and eat too many mince pies).

But, rather than leaving you languishing out there in podcast land without any fresh content I thought I would share some of my favourite episodes from past guests' own podcasts.

And, the first show that I'm sharing is.....

**This Queer Book Saved My Life! **

This show is hosted by JP Der Boghossian, who appeared in the Lost Spaces episode "Every Bachelorette Party Seems To Be At A Queer Bar Now" waaaaay back in August 2022.

I wanted to share this episode because:

- JP is a total sweetheart and I think you'll love his interview style

- The episode, a conversation with Maya Williams, the Poet Laureate of Portland, Maine, covers a book that is often the focus of book-banning campaigns - The Colour Purple. I am baffled by all this book banning malarkey, and I want to hear your views on it!
