Welcome, everyone, to the third official podcast, wherein just_keep_on and I inadvertently tangentially answer one of the questions posed to us. XD Even though Ducky says she doesn't know much lesbian media, we managed to talk a lot of LGBT, as well as general literature and media topics. As far as I can tell, neither Ducky nor I reveal any real spoilers about the media we mention, but just in case here's a SPOILER WARNING. Ducky's mic is still louder than mine; it just picks up her voice clearer and spikes more. Mine, on the other hand, gets jostled around because I talk with my hands a lot. XD

Basically, a discussion with women who kick ass."
