This week’s guest writes one of my favourite substacks – Unravelling Daydreams – it is poetic and the imagery is beautiful and I have FOR SURE CRIED with hope and then giggled with her wit while reading it. I am delighted to welcome Phoebe Hancock (she/her) to the podcast! As well as her substack, Phoebe is a host for The London Writers’ Salon, holding space for writers worldwide. Phoebe was introduced to me by a mutual friend who said “Hey, this person is writing about lesbian vampires. I think you’ll get along!” They were 100% right. Enjoy this conversation filled with tenderness, openness, hope, and laughter.
In this episode:
-Phoebe identifies as a lesbian. Very much. She loves it.
-Looking at lesbians in history is a huge part of Phoebe’s life. Iconic!
-We talk about love spells written by queer women! Heartbreakingly beautiful!
-Padro Pascals’ knees. Yep.
-Halloween is the perfect day to come out!
-We relate when it comes to CHOOSING to have a crush on a boy!
-Travel makes us very queer!
-We love a Cottage Core Lesbian aka Phoebe!
-Queer films are meant to be watched while in the bath!
-This coming out involves a response of “Oh, thank god!”
-It’s so cool to be able to put our queerness (and our real selves) into our art!
-Coming out as a slow explosion, and holding people cookie-hostage is how we think it should be done!
-Haggis that the Queen eats or no haggis!
