    Discovering Yourself in a Roleplaying Game, ft. Vanessa Hoskins and DC

    Tabletop roleplaying allows people to assume the lives of fantastic characters. Vanessa Hoskins is a game designer who primarily works with Pathfinder, and writing for the game helped her realize her gender identity. Game designer DC lends their perspective on how tabletop roleplaying is an inherently queer activity. And all the while, the hosts of We Must Ignite bring you into their own ongoing game of Dungeons and Dragons. Special thanks to one of our DnD players, Kimberly Koerth, for appearing in the episode. Hosts: Tiana Gaudioso, Jaye McAuliffe, Raina Bowers, and Rachel Bunning Producer: Jaye McAuliffe Music by Jaye McAuliffe, Monplaisir and Kevin MacLeod (The Descent and Heart of Nowhere). @wemustignite

    Finding Strength in Sadness, ft. Michaela Angemeer and Alex Scoville

    Can sadness be a source of strength? The hosts of We Must Ignite search for power within their own vulnerability. Tiana interviews Michaela Angemeer, an Instagram poet who writes about heartbreak. Raina and Rachel share their own experiences sharing deeply personal art. And then Jaye talks with writer and journalist Alex Scoville about Sad Girl Theory, the idea that sharing sadness can be a radical act of protest in and of itself.
