The In/Visible Sarah Wingrove Sian Williams

In this episode, we chatted with London-based comedian, Rebecca Shortall about her experience as a stand-up comic, learning about sex via musical fanfiction, and even our L Word horoscopes. Thank you to Rebecca for talking with us - this was an amazing interview and had us cry-laughing throughout! 

This is the last episode of The In/Visible, which was primarily started as a lockdown project for the two of us.
We've had a lot of fun, and we hope you've enjoyed listening!
Thank you for joining us for this little ABC of queer and sapphic representation. 

Now, let's get visible...  

Better late than never but here is our third episode - C for Comedy!
On that note, some of the news items in this episode are a wee bit out of date e.g. it's no longer Pride Month (boooo) and the Trans Pride March in London has been and gone (and was a success from what we've heard!). 

Aside from that, we hope you enjoy this next episode and keep an ear out for the second part in the next few weeks, where we interview comedian, Rebecca Shortall! 

Today's episode covers a potential shift in media from laughing AT queer women to laughing with them, comedians coming out and something about tongues....

Now, let''s get visible! 

Join us this week as Sian gives a great insight into what being butch can mean, and an analysis of Stud Life (Campbell X, 2012), whilst Sarah listens along, tries to be punny and covers recent events in the community and wider world. 

In this episode, Sarah and Sian get stuck into their alphabet of sapphic and non-binary media representations, starting at the very beginning (a very good place to start) with A for Animation. This week, they take a nostalgic peek into their childhood understandings of Disney, where the media producer stands on diversity today, before going on to look at a stop-motion film that is certainly not for family viewing...

In this introductory episode, get to know your hosts, Sarah and Sian, as they begin to delve into the topic of the invisibility and visibility of queer women and non-binary people in screen media. Drawing questions from their MA dissertations, the discussion ranges from Blue is the Warmest Colour and creepy sex scenes to what constitutes as a "BBC lesbian"!
