Joining Charles Adrian in Brighton for the 102nd Second-Hand Book Factory is Mathilda Gregory and her staffie Agatha. Mathilda co-produced the first Brighton Smut Slam and is a writer and performer. They talk about a less common perspective on break-ups, fantasy as allegory and how gender can mess with our self-categorisation of our sexuality. *Apologies for the electro buzz interference, which happens between 9:06 and 9:10* Marked as explicit on iTunes because of sexual language and imagery. Episode image is a detail from the cover of The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson, published by Graywolf Press in 2015; Cover Design by Jeenee Lee Design.

128 - Mathilda Gregory

In GBA 221 we get better acquainted with Mathilda. She talks about #HowToBeFat, writing werewolf erotica, comedy, writing, performance, parenthood, slash fiction and more. We recorded the conversation in Edinburgh during the Fringe where both of us were doing solo shows that (in different ways) talk about taboo subjects, shame, identity, stigma, privilege and social pressure. We compare notes on doing shows that people might describe as brave.Mathilda plugs:Her Website: https://mathildia.wordpress.comSlah Night: https://www.facebook.com/events/1114214225259785/ September 17th,  Brighton@Mathildia: https://twitter.com/mathildiaI plug:Stand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/What About the Men?
