Episode 17: Queer Joy with Chip Pons

About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Chip Pons about queer joy in romance and media.

This week, we are joined by the inimitable, lovely, brilliant Chip Pons - author of "Winging it with You" and the upcoming "Dearly Departed". In the Post Heated Rivalry (PHR) world, the conversations around queer media and queer joy have become even more amplified. And as a friend of the pod (plus an author we both will recommend always and forever), we couldn't have asked for a better conversation partner to talk all things queer joy in the world of romance and beyond. Also, Ruby shares one of the many jobs she's held (if you had a million guesses, you still wouldn't get it) and Ada shares a pivotal story about "Fifty Shades of Grey" (the movie).
