More Fun Than a Horror Movie (QR 040)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/08/02

With COVID behind her, we welcome Tara back to the land of the living (sorry, it’s a bit of a mess right now) and catch up with Kris who is back with Brit Ryder’s award from GCLS (thief!). There’s tons to catch up on! We revisit a tale of sisterly abuse, which Tara claims is the best story she’s ever heard, minus the living-with-trauma bits. For some reason, the evil presence of Subway’s Jared is invoked, but don’t worry, we hold it down with catching up on Drag Race and recommending two, count ’em,

Sorry, friends. No episode this week, because Tara got COVID and couldn't record an episode. But, in the most mini of mini-sodes, Tara recommends two things: Self-care The Great Canadian Baking Show (and yes, it has great queer representation!) See you in two weeks! Listen to the episode

Mistaking Access for Permission (QR 039)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/07/05

The world’s a heavy place right now, so after pleasantries about puppies and tattoos, Kris and Tara sit down to talk about the devastating attack on reproductive rights that is the repeal of Roe vs. Wade. There’s no jokes about this, it just sucks. Know what else is unacceptable? Sexual harassment of authors. Instead of questions this week, Kris and Tara bring on popular lesfic author, Jae, and Sarah Wendell from Smart Bitches Trashy Books to talk about some all-too-prevalent problem behaviours that

It's Radclyffe! (QR 038)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/06/21

There are many key figures in lesbian literature, without whom, we wouldn't have today's rich publishing scene. Radclyffe is one of them. In this episode, Radclyffe shares what inspired her not just to write but to publish lesbian fiction, her thoughts on the industry, why lesbian fiction has always been political, and what she queerly recommends. Happy Pride y’all! If you enjoy this episode, please consider buying Kris & Tara a Ko-fi! Transcript coming soon Works/People Discussed Women's Barracks:

Is This What I Want to Wear For The Apocalypse? (QR 037)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/06/07

Welcome, welcome, one and all to your Queerly Recommended meal of the week! As a little aperitif, we begin with a discussion of the corporatization of Pride. Following this is a starter of listener questions…as well as other questions! Is Kris a people pleaser? Who was the first lesfic author Tara and Kris met? We have a relaxing deconstruction of 80s fashion trends, an out-of-left-field callout on megahit and media darling, This Is Us, and Kris processes her toxic relationship with Survivor

Cannabis For Everyone! (QR 036)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/05/24

Kris and Tara are talking about drugs this episode — specifically, cannabis. They wonder about their parents' experience with Mary Jane and modern technology, before getting into their recs. And the recs? They cover a wide variety (although very few books this time). Lots of good TV and movies out there, especially documentaries. We’re living in a golden age!

2022/05/10

Context for future historians: the world is currently ON ONE. Things are looking pretty dark right now. But if there's one theme for this week's episode, it's that we've been here before and we will fight again. This week, Kris and Tara go hard. Kris talks about her moving experience supporting queer kids who were targeted by parents at their school. And watch out supporters of Friends, Pretty Woman and Batman (individually or all together, you know who you are), because Kris is coming in hot with

Chunky Blasphemy (QR 034)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/04/26

This week opens on one of those eternal questions. No, it’s not "Cake or Death?" It’s something a lot more…I dunno, you’re going to have to listen. Kris and Tara go all over the map in this one. They discuss THAT ENDING of Killing Eve. They pass judgement on store names in Hallmark movies. And, speaking of Hallmark movies, Kris might have to rescind her "No Hallmark" bumper sticker. Also, if you haven’t been listening beyond the outro in previous episodes, maybe now’s a good time to start. :) If you

Stanley Tucci, the Toni Collette of Men (QR 031)

Queerly Recommended ·

2022/03/15

There’s a lot of looking back in this episode. Kinda weird how that turns out sometimes. What are we looking back at? Our favourite butch-femme pairings, the age gap romance discussion from the previous episode, and the evergreen Evelyn Hugo discussion. Kris and Tara also pose the impossible question: is Stanley Tucci the Toni Collette of men…OR is Toni Collette the Stanley Tucci of women?

What stage of the pandemic are you in? We’re not talking waves here — we’re talking clothes. No pants? That’s a given, but what else? When’s the last time you wore a shirt? A proper, honest-to-goodness adult shirt? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Post-pandemic catch-up, Tara and Kris talk about what’s good and continue to plan their post-covid Kansas City tour.

We’re into Teasing this Episode, Apparently (QR 028)

What can I say? I’m a little disappointed. Tara and Kris start with some teasing about stuff that’s not even in this episode and I’m the show notes! I want to include everything! There’s a whole bunch of stuff that does come up that I can tell you about, though. Kris has a Cujo story (what, you’re surprised?). Somehow Willy Wonka makes an appearance. Kris reminisces about the time Queer Eye came to her town and the pair discuss what it would take for them to get in bed together. It’s less than you'd

2022/01/25

It's that time of year again! The latest instalment of The Best Lesbian Erotica series is here, and Kris and Tara are thrilled to be joined by the collection's editor, Sinclair Sexsmith. Together, they discuss why writing queer erotica is a radical and political act, the healing potential of reading erotica that reflects your identity and desires, and the case for expanding the definition of the word "lesbian." Buckle up, friends. It's an important and enlightening conversation. If you enjoy this

It’s our first pod of 2022, and Kris and Tara jump straight into the deep end. They talk about Jeopardy! and how Wheel of Fortune is beneath Kris. (Did you know that Kris was almost on Wheel of Fortune? Or the obstacle that blocked her dreams of game show domination forever? Find out!) Also, it should be no surprise that Kris has an Alanis Morissette story. It’s a good time. We have fun here. If you enjoy this episode, please consider buying Kris & Tara a Ko-fi!

An Airing of Grievances (QR025)

There are no listener questions this week, so things get a bit heated. Tara regales us with her story of spite ice cream. Kris weighs in on reality show judging. Then it’s a knock down, drag out brawl with...Happiest Season? Close your ears, gentle listeners, as there is not much love for this movie here.

A lot of good questions on the pod this week. Kris details her editing woes, her paradoxical love of editors, and the blessing/curse of being a working writer. Then Tara joins her as they both go deep into how they found lesfic before giving all you angst-lovers out there some gut-wrenching recommendations. Enjoy, we guess? Official recommendations for this week are Beginner’s Bet by Fiona Riley from Kris, and The Headmistress by Milena McKay from Tara. If you enjoy this episode, please consider
