Fans of On Being with Krista Tippett and Los Culturistas love this indie where LGBTQ guests share the queer books that saved their lives with the authors who wrote them.

Featuring Carmen Maria Machado, Alison Bechdel, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Greg Louganis, Becky Albertalli, and so many more, guests from across the rainbow tell these authors how their books helped them overcome alienation, gender dysphoria, familial homophobia, and being outed.

Essayist, educator, and Lambda Literary Fellow J.P. Der Boghossian hosts the conversations with a gentle and energetic style, standing in as conversational partner for posthumous authors.

A bonus feature is 7 Minutes in Book Heaven, where J.P. interviews queer authors about their exciting new releases for us to love and cuddle up with.
