Podcasts about lesbian romance

In this episode of Bold Voices/Good Yarns, host Ian Henzel speaks with debut author Genevieve Rheams about her lesbian romance novel, "We Will Plant Birds of Paradise." Genevieve shares her personal journey of coming out in her 30s, how growing up in a conservative Catholic family shaped her worldview, and how those experiences influenced her novel's main character, Jess. From childhood memories of being “different” in a small Louisiana town to finding escape in books like The Outsiders, Genevieve reflects on how storytelling became her refuge—and eventually, her craft. The conversation dives into her writing influences, the role of punk, heavy metal, and alternative music in sparking her creativity, and the fictional worlds she dreamed of living in. Along the way, she highlights the importance of family, community, and representation in queer literature. ✨ Whether you're a fan of lesbian romance, stories of self-discovery, or behind-the-scenes looks at the writing life, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! Today we're talking about a scandalous story that went down in the late 1800s in Memphis, Tennessee. That's where a same-sex, Gilded Age girl-crush came to an abrupt, bloody end. Lemme tell you... this story's got passion, it's got jealousy, some big secrets and there's even a bit of stalking going on. This is the story of Alice Mitchell - a woman who was maybe driven literally crazy by love. Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon xo Bailey Sarian I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in show.

Medaya Ocher and Eric Newman are joined by writer and artist Renee Gladman to discuss the re-release of “To After That (TOAF)” and her latest book, “My Lesbian Novel.” TOAF focuses on one of Gladman's abandoned manuscripts, working through its creation and revision in an attempt to parse what literary failure means. “My Lesbian Novel” completely reinvents and reimagines the lesbian romance. Gladman discusses form and its possibilities, as well as the artist's struggle to realize the vision of a project. Also, Edwin Frank, author of Stranger than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel, returns to recommend Louis Aragon's Paris Peasant.

I was trying to pull together a last minute Halloween costume for a party, and I was like maybe a sexy vampire? And then I got to thinking… why is it that all vampires are hot? If we started with Dracula, how did we get here? How did we get to Edward Cullen and Buffy and vampires basically being the sexiest villains out there?  Well friends, I got to the bottom of it. Spoiler alert, it involves a toxic relationship between a famous poet and his doctor, French mail-order brides being sent to America, and lesbian vampire erotica.  I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Join us on the show as we look at a video by sunny book nook where they discuss the problem with lesbians..... in fictional romance

The Legendary Ladies are back for some holiday fun! This year, Amy and Kat review the Hallmark film "Friends and Family Christmas", a big deal for members of the queer community hoping to see themselves represented in the mainstream "Hallmark" market. And it is important - so important. But here's the thing....they don't have much else positive to say about the film...and that's where the real discussion begins. Where was the honesty in the film? Was there a lack of care in the filmmaking? And are we, as storytellers ourselves, more inclined to be critical...and does that diminish a film that finally celebrates queer representation as normality in the holidays? It's a surprisingly deep episode from the hosts.  We'd love to hear from our listeners! Do you agree with our assessment of the film? Email us thelegendaryladies@gmail.com!    The Legendary Ladies returns after a brief holiday break! Stay tuned for updates on our Patreon, http://patreon.com/TheLegendaryLadies.

The pre-Don't Ask Don't Tell days in the military were a challenge for members who wanted to serve their country but had to stay closeted. Even during DADT, they couldn't talk openly about their families, received no dependent benefits for their spouses, and risked their careers if they were found out. In this portion of my interview with author Julie Tizard about her book The Road to Wings, she talks about what that life was like and why it was important to her to memorialize it in her book. Thanks so much for listening!

TB is frazzled after a very stressful week that involved launching Devil's Advocate and the new I Heart SapphFic website.

TB is ready for a weekend away and is heading to Ptown for Women's Week. This is the launch week for The Christmas Catch. Toot toot! It's packed with Christmas feels and humor. Clare forgot, again, how time consuming book releases are. Now it's time to turn her attention back to the football book. Sadly, Clare hasn't been feeling all that well. Please send positive thoughts. In exciting news, It Started with a Kiss has been shortlisted for the Kindle Storyteller Award. They move on to the topic. TB asks, if you were offered a mentorship with the leading expert in one area of the writing business (craft, creative skills, time management, marketing, editing, business, etc.), which skill would you choose and who would you want to learn from?

This week, Tessa and Princess are overjoyed to dive into the lesbian love that is sweeping the geekdom: First Kill. Calliette 4 EVER!! You'll get to hear all about Princess and Tessa's firsts, along with their season 1 hot takes.Also, Tessa and Princess sit down with leading ladies  Sarah Catherine Hook (Juliette) and Imani Lewis (Calliope) to gab about their on-screen love, what has them geeked, and who they would take with them to the vampire afterlife.

WHEW WE HAD A LOT TO SAY. This week, we're discussing lesbian romance novels and, unfortunately, why we just don't like a lot of the ones we've read. Amelia discusses gender exploration and lesbian relationships with gay men. Sarah laments the lack of butches and why Regency era women should be allowed to do rampant infidelity. We both spend a long, long time trying to figure out why the sex is so boring.  Afterwards when Sarah was editing the episode, Amelia asked her to try to make us not sound like evil dark sex perverts. This feat that proved to be absolutely impossible. Media discussed: Olivia Waite's Feminine Pursuits series which includesThe Lady's Guide to Celestial MechanicsThe Care and Feeding of Waspish WidowsThe Hellion's WaltzThe Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley A Proper English by KJ Charles The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky ChambersGideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir The Unspoken Name by A.K. LarkwoodThe Thousand Names by Django Wexler A Little Light Mischief by Cat Sebastian How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole*(non-ff media)Think of England by KJ CharlesThe Simple Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ CharlesAny Old Diamonds by KJ Charles*Note from Sarah: I mentioned at the beginning of this episode that I read this book, and then proceeded to say nothing about it. Since I spoke pretty disparagingly of contemporary lesbian romance in this, I wanted to clarify that while I still didn't connect with the central romance of this book, I enjoyed reading the story overall and would recommend it to people looking for a modern twist on a princess-bodyguard story starring two Black woman, a fictional country, a critique of the idea of monarchy while still enjoying some of the trappings, and a fun cast of main and side characters. 

Today we are talking about the 2011 film staring Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, Cloudburst. The Thom Fitzgerald authored and directed film is about a lesbian couple who escape from their nursing home and head up to Canada to get married. Along the way, they pick up a young, male hitchhiker. It is reminiscent of the Netflix documentary “A Secret Love” (2020). The Fitzgerald film is among few who have received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Take a watch and let us know what you think. Molly: “Well, I know what lesbians look like. I mean, I'm not stupid. But you guys aren't exactly Ellen and Portia.” Some highlights of this movie are: Excellent casting of Olympia and Brenda Not pleased with the artificial “golden hour” Never split the party Prentice's impressive handstands Police officers vs. lesbians Stella's dirty mouth Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts. Next week's film will be Love Simon (2018) available on Apple and Amazon for $3.99 Subscribe, Rate & Share Your Favorite Episodes!
