I can’t seem to create an account on iTunes and comment on your podcast page, but I’ll post my comment here instead.
I’ll give the Podcast 4/5. It’s very nice to hear women talk about PC games. That’s something I’m not used to hearing. I loved the ‘Day of sex’ story too LOL. Keep up the good work!
I’m interested to know what conferences you all plan on attending.
Thanks for another great episode!
Alex and I both have Feminisms and Rhetorics and NCTE coming up this year and then Cs and (hopefully) RSA next year, at least.
