the tadpod


podcast with queer fiction.

the idea of this podcast came from a need to give back to the Trans community on a cyclical and in a more sustainable way. since i enjoy reading books, talking about books, recommending books, i figured a podcast with queer fiction would be a good idea!

season one is Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg.
season two is Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan LeFanu.

what happens with the donations?

the proceeds for the tadpod will be split 50/50 between the Black Trans Art and Joy Fund and birdbeakbeast press.
please note that currently, there is no active season and the Patreon is deactivated. i encourage you to donate directly to the Black Trans Art and Joy Fund!

Black Trans Art and Joy Fund is a Community Care Initiative to uplift and support the Black Trans community in the Netherlands and Belgium. their half of the donations will go to their beneficiaries and making sure they can continue to do their important and valuable work.

birdbeakbeast press will put the second half of donations in their accessibility fund. this helps me pay platform costs for the podcast.
