Every book ever written by a Gender Reveal alum?!

Hey friends,

Hope you’re hanging in there. Did you know that everywhere is loud?? Construction sites are loud but coffee shops are also loud, especially when they roast their own beans. Just something I’m noticing today for no reason as I try to make my little podcasts.

Anyway, we are finally in the interview booking stage for next season, which is very exciting! We’ve got a really fun range of folks lined up so far, and I’m hyped for you to meet them. No spoilers yet tho :)

In the meantime, we just released a bonus episode for $5+ patrons. It’s called “The ISIS Tweet to Trans Ally Pipeline”— which is a nice and normal thing to call a podcast—and it’s a chatcast + spicy advice combo meal starring BFF of the show Mckenzee Griffler. (We try to answer a question about “rosboy vis femboy” and I have never been more thankful for the paywall tbqh.) Listen to it here on Patreon or in your favorite podcast app.

Something I should have mentioned on that bonus podcast (but forgot, of course), is that we have transcripts available for most of the bonus episodes on this secret page. The password is “detective,” so if any of y’all $1-4 patrons want to peek at what we’re up to over there, go for it I guess!!! As I have always said, the paywall is mostly fake.

Also, I’ve been meaning to mention this for weeks, but listener Audrey Clayton made this extremely cool Bookshop list, which includes every book(?!) written by a Gender Reveal alum! What an amazing resource. Thank you, Audrey!

In podcast-adjacent news, Niko and I are hoping to start putting the Fast & Furious zine into layouts next week! Not to overhype but you are going to want to buy it for the cover alone, so keep an eye out for presales whenever we figure out what we’re doing there.

Oh, also, only a few days left for April merch and restocks! bit.ly/gendermerch as always.

OK, here’s Links & Stuff:

• I talked about Sasha Colby’s Drag Race win briefly on the bonus podcast, but this Vulture article does a much better job of explaining why it’s Important Trans History (even if you don’t care about Drag Race)
• JP Brammer crushed it again — I tried to pull a quote but every line is a banger
• I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on Eid and was enamored with all the incred fashion — anyway, this video is a better version of that.

I didn't take pictures of the Fashion because I didn't want to be a creep but here are the cherry blossoms! So nice. 

• I’m back to crying about baseball again ugh
• Idk how I got here but I found this food disgust quiz fascinating and spot-on
• In conclusion: Look at this baby goat(!!!) and then log off(!!!!!)

That’s it for this week. Here’s your weekly Rhubarb.

(Fans of the Calvin Kasulke episode should know that Ruby finally met Calvin’s dog yesterday and it went well!!! He didn’t eat her!!! We love to see it.)
