Fujojocast

In this Fujojocast episode, I talk with Sam Aburime and Thomas Baudinette on the growing vitriol against BL within Anglophone discourse, the feminist and queer dimensions of the BL genre, and how different communities are using BL as a tool to deepen and broaden their understanding of queer identities and media.

In this episode of Fujojocast, I'm joined by Emma Hanashiro from @futekiya and we talk about how their website aims to help diversify our BL reading needs.

In case you missed the memo, fandom is not a safe place, especially for BIPOC fans. It’s something that we Asian fans have been keenly aware of since our engagement online. It’s something that has been documented by scholars. In the last week, as different […]

Fujojocast returns with Dr. Thomas Baudinette, as he gives me a primer on Thai BL!

I am finally back from check republic1 with the second part of my conversation with Thomas Baudinette on gay manga. In the last episode, we talked about Tom’s research, how he stumbled upon gay manga, and how this genre is consumed by readers in Japan. […]

In this two-part episode of fujojocast, I talk with Thomas Baudinette about the vibrant gay manga culture and its avid consumers!

  So I posted last weekend about pooling people’s recs for a BL starter kit! If you’ve got a few titles in mind, that’s great! Let me know about it!  However, if you’re still thinking how to go about it, let Airin, Maija, and I help […]

Has it really been a year? Is the eternal summer really over? Well, clearly, Nozmo, Airin, and I cannot have enough of Free! Now the second season came and went with fantastic new characters who even made some of us cry in misery. The second […]

Hey fujojo! Happy Yaoi no Hi! As always, I wish you all the best when it comes to BL! It’s been a good year for BL with many exciting titles released in English, Japanese, and online! But as BL fans, we’re probably familiar with a […]

This is a podcast about the fans who love an author’s work and a publisher who has been a bit of a hit and miss when it comes to maintaining the quality of their titles. Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai (Twittering Birds Never Fly) is a […]

Perhaps this is the first “breaking news” podcast I’ve done. Not that this is completely breaking news but it, nonetheless, an interesting development in things that we do in fandom. Last week, there was a bit of a stir when it was made public that […]

You gaiz knew this was gonna happen.  You probably sniffed it when I was talking about too much pedal over at twitter and tumblr. I was so bad at this that I decided to dedicate all my pedal feels in a separate twitter (@pedalbaka)  But […]

Fujojocast is back for the new year!! In this show, my comic nakama, Yue, joins me as we look at the 2014 Kono Manga ga Sugoi award (This Manga is Amazing!), 2013 Comic Natalie Awards shortlist, and Kono BL ga Yabai 2014 (This BL is […]

Hi everyone! Fujojocast is back!

So gather 5 girls in skype to talk about Kyoto Animation’s and mayhem ensues. Well… we tried to behave. Kyoto Animation’s summer offering, Free, just ended last week and while our feels were still fresh, I gathered some friends to talk about their thoughts and […]

Right-o! Put three fujojos in a room and they talk about pr0n. Even in a skype chatroom. For the 801 MMF, I’m happy to share some time with Anne Lee from Chic Pixel and Jocelyne Allen from Brain vs. Book to talk about something close […]

Put four mangavores (Ed Chavez, Erin Finnegan, Noah Fulmor, and myself) in a show talking about food manga, Japan’s foodie culture, and the future of food manga and you’ll definitely have another batshit crazy edition of Mangacast and Ninjaconsultant shenanigans. I greatly apologize for some […]
