Kafka's Giant Brass Vagina — Teaser for Patreon Exclusive Episode!

In this bonus episode, we sit down with a children's educator to talk about Netflix's original series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and why it's good to scare the shit out of children.

Many parents want to protect their children by shielding then from media that contains disturbing topics like death and injustice. But research shows that it's actually healthy to expose kids to these things, as long as the material handles its dark themes responsibly and the parent is available to help the child process any difficult ideas or emotions. Keeping children ignorant can stunt their ability to cope with the challenges of life and prevent them from empathizing from the suffering of others.

Our discussion touches upon child psychology, ecofascism, colonialism, education, Where the Wild Things Are, and why those Mystics are so frustratingly useless.

Special thumpy cameos by my cats jumping on the table where the mic sits and the ghost that lives in my radiator.

Writing About Sex Work

When you write a story, do you ever stop to consider who you’re telling the story to? We’re not talking about the real-life author and the real-life audience demographics. We’re talking about what’s going on within the fictional pocket universe of the story you’ve created. Who is the narrator telling the story to within the universe of the story? And why is the narrator telling their story to that person? What’s the relationship between them? Sci-fi/fantasy author Karlo Yeager Rodríguez joins us to talk about the relationship between storyteller and in-universe audience.

Who Are You Telling This Story To?

This isn’t a podcast for total beginners. We’re going to assume that you know what plot structure is, what a protagonist is, where ideas come from, and how to use a semicolon. This is a podcast for people who can already write okay, but want to do better.
