The KMMA Media Podcast Network
Back from another unplanned hiatus… this week, I bring you a review and author interview.
What you are about to hear is an interview that I did with Chris Jarvis as part of our It’s A Queer Thang podcast when we interviewed George M Johnson, author of All Boys Aren’t Blue, which is an amazing memoir and has the delightful distinction of being one of the most challenged and banned books in the US.
Back from an unplanned hiatus… this week it’s Bob The Drag King’s 2025 speculative fiction novel Harriet Tubman Live In Concert!
As always, I discuss the book’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and more. Plus, a popcorn fact and our new segment “Back To The Blurb” where I revisit and then opine about the book’s promo blurb. Enjoy!
We interview newly elected Board of Supervisors member Luis Chavez, talk good/bad news for our Transgender Community, make fun of RFK (and his worm), give props to George M johnson, and highlight some upcoming queer shows and movies.
Plus hockey vs rugby, foster care facts, and Kaylia learns about Pee Wee Herman.
Kaylia reviews the 2024 80s-inspired thriller Young Rich Widows. Despite there being multiple issues for this grammar nerd, the book was overall fun, light, and very much 80s action adventure…. complete with a coke-fueled mob party and amateur sleuths in sexy lingerie. As always, we look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode. Enjoy!
Kaylia reviews The Bones Beneath My Skin which, despite the title, is not a horror book but a delightful sci-fi beach read about found family, love conquering all, and the universal power of bacon. She looks at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value and gives you a SPOILER FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode. Enjoy!
Join Kaylia for a Spoiler-Free review of Emily Austin’s Interesting Facts About Space… a novel brimming with fun that still manages to feel deep. Plus out of this world popcorn facts!
In this episode, Kaylia gives a Spoiler Free Review of the 2023 Queer Literary novel Dykette by Janny Fran Davis. A book that asks How far will you go to make yourself into who you think others want you to be?
In this episode, Kaylia gives a Spoiler Free Review of the 2022 novel Small Angels by Lauren Owen… This well-crafted sapphic fairy tale will have you believing in magic, true love, and the power of memory.
Special Guest James joins Chris and Kaylia to talk about some of the most banned and challenged books in the US. We discuss: All Boys Aren’t Blue, Gender Queer, Looking for Alaska, The Kite Runner, This Book is Gay, The Hate U Give, The Bluest Eye… and more!
We talk about Kampout 2023, Clovis Unified School District, gender, queer kids, health care, and Foghorn Leghorn speaks for himself. Our guests are Cy Hiyane of Clovis Unified and Melanie Reno from Kaiser Permanente.
