episode 708. From the Vault: Sociology, Romance, and Community with Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson cover

708. From the Vault: Sociology, Romance, and Community with Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson

Thank you for joining me for a “from the vault” episode! This is episode 147, originally aired June 26, 2015, so almost 11 years ago. Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson did a multi-year study on the community of romance authors and I have never stopped thinking about it. In this conversation, we’re talking about that study, what they learned about romance as a community, especially about gender dynamics. You can find their published work based on this study in the following articles – these link to the abstract because I don’t have a membership to this academic database. * Aspirational Emotion Work: Calling, Emotional Capital, and Becoming a “Real” Writer [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0891241617749011] * Sneers and Leers: Romance Writers and Gendered Sexual Stigma [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0891243215584603] Hosted on Acast.

706. The Astral Library with Kate Quinn

Kate Quinn’s new book, The Astral Library, is out this week and I was so excited to not only get an advanced copy but an opportunity to interview Kate Quinn. We talk about the inspiration for this very magical book, and about books that are sanctuaries. We also talk about library advocacy, book banning, and the deadly threat of bureaucracy. My favorite thing that Kate says: “When you love a book, it also loves you.” You can find Kate Quinn at her website, KateQuinnAuthor.com [http://katequinnauthor.com/]. She’s on Instagram @KateQuinn5975. [https://www.instagram.com/katequinn5975] We also mentioned: * Patricia C. Wrede’s Fantasy Worldbuilding Checklist [https://pcwrede.com/pcw-wp/fantasy-worldbuilding-questions/] * Sylvie’s Book Dresses on Instagram @sylviefaconcreatricefrance [https://www.instagram.com/sylviefaconcreatricefrance] * The Tumblr post about hope that became a poem and a parody of Dr. Seuss.

Amanda and I are back, deep diving into romance and pop culture history with issue 1997 of Romantic Times Magazine. The cover reads Love, Lust, Laugh, and we’ve got some vintage books to talk about. Then we talk about what books we’re most looking forward to right now, and what we’re currently reading. In two weeks we will be back with the ads & features, and you know a magazine from the 90s has the most excellent collection of cover art. And if you like video episodes, this episode is available in video format for everyone on Sunday at our You Tube channel.

Immediately following, the book I discuss contains mentions of child loss, infertility, and infidelity. Skip ahead 2 and a half minutes.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
