Podcast appearances and mentions of mathilda gregory

Joining Charles Adrian in Brighton for the 102nd Second-Hand Book Factory is Mathilda Gregory and her staffie Agatha. Mathilda co-produced the first Brighton Smut Slam and is a writer and performer. They talk about a less common perspective on break-ups, fantasy as allegory and how gender can mess with our self-categorisation of our sexuality. *Apologies for the electro buzz interference, which happens between 9:06 and 9:10* Marked as explicit on iTunes because of sexual language and imagery.
