happily. I adore this podcast because as someone who has struggled with a myriad of chronic illnesses over the years, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. There's humor and hope in the conversations in this podcast.

Oh whoops. It's a wild story (Anthony claims to have helped poison the pope) but this podcast is amazing because Anthony is a very compelling character. He is full of stories that are either true or so not true. I don't care, I want to hear all the stories. He's WILD. ALso this is the team that brought us You Didn't See Nothin, my #1 pick of last year. Ep 1 is one of the best first episodes I've heard in awhile, it feels like a comic book.

Oooh great list!! Recommending : https://nuancespod.com/about/. Why: Queer historical narratives are often skewed to the West. We need some Eastern representation in here! LAZOU from Nuances is doing that. This season features fantastic stories about queerness in precolonial Asia that we don't talk about enough.

SO excited for Unladylike Media's newest podcast launching this week (8/5!) - Conspiracy, She Wrote

Recommending: https://www.conspiracyshewrote.com/. Why: Conspiracy theories are more popular than ever and Cristen Cronger of Unladylike Media is exploring some WILD ones through an intersectional feminist lens. Women have been the overlooked architects, evangelizers, and symbols of many modern conspiracy theories - Taylor Swift as a government psyop, #whereiskatemiddleton, and now Kamala's 'coup' summer. I'm excited to learn about what these conspiracy theories mean for us, what we choose to believe and why.

Very excited for Play On Podcasts' new series, As You Like It! Tonia recommended their previous work above, The Taming of the Shrew, which was such a fun listen!! Now get ready for a brand new tale full of music and joy to spice up your summer listening. Set in Woodstock during the sixties’ “Summer of Love,” David Ivers’ translation of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” upends the rules of romance, gender, nature and politics in a tale of life’s joy and confusion. Directed by Kim Martin Cotten with original songs and music by Lindsay Jones. Not to mention, the cover art is absolutely GORGEOUS.

Even the Royals latest season on Henry VIII’s six wives. They tell British history in an interesting way and I’m fascinated by how Henry VIII had six wives. So far, I’ve only listened to the episodes on his first wife - Catherine and I was entertained by their love story and how their marriage ended.
