An Announcement

Hello, dear listeners!

 

I wanted to give you all an update about the show. To whit: I’m taking a bit of a break. The last five seasons have been incredible, and season six has been and will continue to be.

 

Tales from the Trunk is in no way ending. We will be back on September 20th, when I’ll be talking to T. Kingfisher.

 

In the mean time, here are some of the things that I have been enjoying from the wider media landscape:

 

• • A podcast: Friends at the Table – their eighth season, Palisade, is coming to a close right now, and it has been a Ride.

• A book: Bury Your Gays, by Chuck Tingle – you already know how much I loved Camp Damascus, and it should come as no surprise that the good doctor’s follow-up is every bit as incredible.

• A TV show: Hunter × Hunter (2011) – Just a fantastic shōnen anime.

• And a musical twofer: 
  • Chappel Roan – come on. I’m queer. She writes good pop hooks. Suggested tracks: “Pink Pony Club” and “My Kink is Karma”
  • Porter Robinson – if you like bouncy but also emotional EDM, give him a go. Suggested tracks: “Knock Yourself Out XD” and “Shelter”

 

Thanks again for your support over the years, and I look forward to returning in two months with even more amazing interviews with incredible guests.
