Hillary Frank‘s interview with me about being a pregnant butch made it on The People Podcast’s Top Ten Podcasts from 2014. Probably ‘cuz I say “tits” in it.

NPR Blog: Nice to be Included…
…As I was saying, it was nice to find myself included in this NPR blog piece, though the “Butch” in “Pregnant Butch” seems to have gotten lost in the quest for pregnant transgender sources. Sorry, guys.
The Longest Shortest Time
Last month, I met with Hillary Frank of WNYC’s The Longest Shortest Time and we talked of things pregnant and butch. http://longestshortesttime.com/2014/10/15/podcast-41-how-to-be-a-pregnant-butch/
The Longest Shortest Time is a WNYC podcast for all of you hollow-eyed ghouls who find yourselves up in the middle of the night (not by choice). I heard of it because, after my book came out with its Spiritual Midwifery-bashing chapter, a friend asked me if I’d heard Hillary Frank’s podcast about Ina May Gaskin. I hadn’t. I looked it up and was astonished. Hillary had the chutzpah and decency to actually call up Ina May Gaskin and challenge the legendary midwife-author about her promise of “ecstatic childbirth” in S.M., among other things. Of course, I had my own different bone to pick with Ina May, but I took the sneaky bomb-throwing, comic-drawing route instead. #whyimnotajournalist http://longestshortesttime.com/2014/04/16/podcast-28-the-missing-chapter-to-ina-mays-guide/
Seattle PB readings – Aug. 11 & 12
I’m doing two readings from PREGNANT BUTCH in Seattle – August 11th & 12th, at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park and at Elliott Bay Books in Capitol Hill. I’m told they’re on opposite sides of town, so we shouldn’t have to worry about rival neighborhood gangs of natural childbirth enthusiasts and their bowtie-wielding dandy enforcers mixing it up. Peace, y’all!

I will be reading in Portland, Oregon this August 8 with Nicole J. Georges, author-artist of Calling Dr. Laura. Though Nicole self-describes as “barren,” she just took home the Best Graphic Novel prize from Lambda Lit.
One queer’s barren is another queer’s fertile abundance!

Dave Convery, Roger Hart and Lucy Boyes of Consequential, “an almost-monthly newsletter full of interesting comics stuff,” shoot the breeze about Pregnant Butch AND about their microphone as a possible robot dildo.
