Maybe the tree isn’t going up today (QR 072)

Queerly Recommended ·

2023/12/05

It’s the holiday season BAYbee! We’re decking those halls. We’re putting up the tree. Kris demands to know how big Tara’s feet are, which leads to a measurement ON AIR. We’ve got bitches stealing Christmas, a bunch of thirsty suitors, and an oddly unprompted promotion for a Secret Santa website. Buckle up. On a more serious note, this week Tara recommends (albeit not queerly) the short documentary film Apostate by Carmel Mikol, which both deals with and leads to a conversation about religious

The Holiday Season is UNCANCELLED (QR 071)

2023/11/21

Queerly Recommended is here to celebrate the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike — and also that we'll be covering queer holiday-themed content this year! Labor rights are of the utmost importance and we would have supported the strike as long as it took, but we're excited to bring you Christmas treats next month, too. In addition to talking about the outcome of the strike (there’s a lot of good here, but some troubling portents for the future), Kris talks about good vs bad queer kissing in films

I’m Greedy (QR 070)

2023/11/07

This week, Tara and Kris are back! They're also sleepy, busy, and full of recommendations. Kris is our official correspondent from this year’s Women’s Week in Provincetown. Then, Kris accuses Tara of lying about her height and Tara insists she's not because that inch is REAL. Kris explores the sweeter side of David Beckham. Tara talks about a comedian’s dreams of ice skating and Whitney Houston. Both discuss how watching so many documentaries has changed them (for the better!). And then, as

Rerun: Melissa Brayden Has Not Been Frugal With Her...

2023/10/24

Kris went to Women's Week and Tara got knocked over by a couple of vaccines, so no new episode this week. We didn't want to leave you totally hanging, so we're rerunning one of our faves: last year's conversation with Melissa Brayden, popular author of sapphic romances. We may have recorded it for Valentine's Day, but this is a fun listen any time of year. We’re talking love this episode, people! Kris, Tara and Melissa compare their fave fictional couples, kisses, and romances that they love to

Nice! (QR 069)

2023/10/03

This week, Tara and Kris start by celebrating the conclusion of the WGA strike and sending support for SAG-AFTRA in their continued quest for an equitable deal. Looking ahead, they wonder about the future of AI. Tara doesn’t think it’s as bleak as it sounds. Kris disagrees. Luckily we have opinions on survival reality shows to bring us together. After getting deep into Alone Australia and Survivor, we hear more about RuPaul's Drag Race UK from Tara and then dive headlong into recommendations

Ding Dong Delicious (QR 068)

2023/09/26

This week, we start with a little update on the Hollywood strikes (still ongoing, no end in sight). This was recorded before Drew Barrymore and Bill Maher decided to go back on strike instead of scabbing, but that doesn't mean our assessment of Bill Maher being a colossal asshole was incorrect. Bill might be a stopped clock that's correct in this moment, but we’re full digital at Queerly Recommended and we know an asshole when we see one. We also talk about Kris’s new work situation, which seems to

Making Zines and Building Community with Lawrence...

2023/09/19

Kris and Tara sit down with cartoonist Lawrence Lindell to talk about his upcoming graphic novel, Blackward (releases September 26th!). As well as being a self-proclaimed introvert (hard same), Lawrence is an artist and educator, working in many disciplines like comics, music, illustration, and mixed media. His self-published graphic memoir, From Truth With Truth, was nominated for the Believer Book Awards, and the Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity in Comics in 2020. Together, the three talk about

2023/09/12

Welcome to Queerly Recommended’s Documentary Era! With the writer and actor strikes continuing in Hollywood, Kris and Tara have been digging into a lot of interesting and provoking queer documentaries. Everything’s about eras these days, isn’t it? Tara is living in that kids-going-back-to-school era. Kris is entering a new professional era… and she might even be slipping into her third-person era. It’s wild. Also, Tara gives Kris a big surprise. Official Recommendations From Kris: Wish Me Away

It’s a big ole catchup episode this week. Tara’s back from a botched vacation with tons of recommendations. Kris returns with boat problems and a bunch of excitement about the current state of (checks notes) foot…ball? They check in on the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, which most recently has taken the second season of A League of Their Own as a casualty (or that's what management claims, anyway). This isn’t going to end anytime soon, folks, but we’re in it for the duration. Official Recommendations

Hollywood Strikes & Audiobooks with Lori Prince &...

2023/08/24

Kris, aka "The Road Trip Warrior Audiobook Listener," and Tara have talked many times about their love of audiobooks. The right audiobook is a mix of the right story and the right performer. If you only have one, the project doesn’t work. So, it’s with great joy that we welcome two very special guests this week to talk about all things audiobooks. If you've listened to a sapphic romance in the last 5 years, chances are good you've heard Lori Prince's voice. And if you listen to historical fiction,

Book Babies (QR 065)

2023/08/15

Kris celebrates the birth of her new book… baby. Book babies are a thing, right? The book is called Cherish. You should check it out when it drops in September. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, Kris reveals the winning strategy to make it through the survival reality show, Alone. Tara and Kris discuss their troubled history with Mus musculus (the common house mouse), as well as the extent to which they will allow their home to be "hacked." Programming note: the actors and writers unions currently

It’s been a bit since Kris and Tara sat down together, so there’s a lot of catching up to do! Kris reports back on her experience at the annual GCLS conference, as well as what to expect if you’re a newbie. And Tara’s been on vacation! Well, sorta. Some of it was working. She brings to the podcast tales of her hometown pizza and spending time with some of her many, many cousins. You have a favourite cousin, right? With all the pleasantries done, they dive deep into the oceans of backlogs and

The Timelessness of Ann Bannon (QR 063)

2023/07/18

Hey folks, Tara here. Kris and I are taking a break this week because I left town for a working vacation just as Kris was heading home from GCLS when we would have normally recorded. So, we’re rerunning one of my favourite interviews from my previous podcast, Les Do Books. Ann Bannon is a keystone in lesbian literature and the impact of her lesbian pulp Beebo Brinker novels can't be overstated. Her books inspired generations of writers and readers who followed her and her historical perspective is

Queerly Recommended ·

2023/07/04

Every so often, Kris and Tara put out a call for questions on Twitter. Late this spring, publisher and author Salem West asked about one of the most important topics in queer media: the rise of legislation aimed at criminalising LGBTQ+ books. So, of course they invited Salem to join them, along with John Copenhaver, author of the crime novels Dodging and Burning and The Savage Kind. Together, the four discuss the history of book bannings, the different effects felt by large and independent

A cliffhanger is resolved! Kris has turned in the ending for her book. Fingers crossed that her editor loves it. This week, Kris and Tara do some deep dives. They discuss the horrors depicted in the new docuseries Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. It’s (hopefully) balanced by Tara’s recommendation of the week, The Ultimatum: Queer Love, and all the speculation, gasps and laughter it’s brought. Tara and Kris get into all the show's drama, so if you haven't watched yet and want to avoid

Lemonade and Lavender (QR 061)

2023/06/06

As loyal listeners know, Queerly Recommended tends to get recorded on Sundays in the middle of the day. It’s a great time to record. There’s no rush or hurry. There’s plenty of time to make notes. It’s ideal. But, sometimes the ideal is impossible. So, sometimes we record on Monday. You know about our Monday sessions. They’re a bit…different. Well, listeners, welcome to Tuesday! Kris is drinking something called Lemonade and Lavender and Tara is hung over from a provincial election. And that’s

Greetings, stranger! Have you heard tell of this new literary hero? This publishing world pugilist? His very words conjure riches. Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood is his name. Would you like to hear more? Well then, come. Sit! Warm yourself by the fire and listen for a spell. It’s a tale as old as time. A story of anime and sapphic science fiction and…the internet!

Time comes for all of us. Well, most of us. We’re not sure about Kris. This week, we’re out of listener questions and our home lives are… steady? What’s another word for steady? Boring? Uneventful? Regardless, no questions and no personal updates means this episode is a little shorter than usual. Kris talks about the difficulties of watching Euphoria as an adult. Tara suffers alone in the desert of RuPaul's Drag Race as she's dying for All Stars 8 to begin. Official Recommendations From Kris:

This week, we start off by celebrating the Peabody Award nomination for our fave reality documentary show, We’re Here (HBO Max). The show is doing important work and more people need to hear it! From there, things devolve pretty rapidly. It’s a MERS (Monday Evening Recording Sesh), people. You’ve been warned. Kris answers a listener’s question about Tara. Tara gives us her thoughts on the wrap up of this bumpy season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. And despite being an avowed non-spoiler person, Kris runs us

This week, Tara comes to us from her sickbed. She’s down with Covid and wants us all to stay home when we think we have a cold, because sometimes it's not "just a cold." Kris reveals the classic literary novel she hates and shots are fired at baseball. A listener question also sends them deep down the rabbit hole of their reading and writing histories. Official Recommendations From Kris: Shrinking (Apple TV+) This week, Kris brings us the television series Shrinking. The story follows a therapist
