In our intro episode for Season Two, Nat and Nino talk about the song Les and Ray by electropunk feminist performance artists Le Tigre, as well as Octavia Butler’s unfinished sequel to the Parable novels, Parable of the Trickster, as we try to figure out what’s drawing us to Sci-Fi tropes of escape and escapism.
A content warning for this one: we talk about interpersonal abuse and child abuse in this episode.
Finally, big big BIG big thanks to Kathleen Hanna for permission to play “Les and Ray” on Queers at the End of the World!
