Episode 11 - The Z Word

Happy Pride Month! Our hosts, Chris and Amy, have a lot to say about The Z Word, Lindsay King-Miller’s debut horror novel about Pride and its problematic corporate overlords. At its core, The Z Word is a story about found-family and how necessary it is for queer folks to have a support system surrounding them to make it through the hardships we face on a daily basis. (Zombie apocalypse, anyone?). Lindsay strikes the perfect balance between horror and camp in this delightfully over the top Pride spectacular, while also managing to tell a down to Earth, relatable story that anyone queer will find something to connect to.

Some highlights:

That’s So Gay ft. Doctor Who!
The Big Gay Book Club has stickers!
Campy queer horror - it can’t get much better than that.
Lumberjack bisexual realness.
Zombie apocalypse drag show extravaganza.

As promised, Doctor Who spoilers time stamp: 13:30 - 20:15
