Belated eighteenth Squick-or-Squee episode

Cross posted at The Squick-or-Squee Podcast.

I had to be out of town last week and the stresses of travel prevented my putting together a regular interview, so we have an experiment instead. I read aloud for you a public domain pulp story by Waldemar Kaempffert, “The Diminishing Draft” (first published in 1918). An unhappily-married, middle-aged biology professor takes on a pretty young woman as an assistant and gets way more than he bargained for. This remarkable story prefigures various A.S.F.R., transformation fantasy, shrinking woman, and femme peril fetishes all in a neat 8,000 words. So give it a listen, no?

You can download this episode on your podcast app of choice, access it via its libsyn page, download it directly from here or listen to it on the nifty embedded player below.

Regular interviewing resumes with a new episode tomorrow.

And now, I have my own podcast

It’s called The Squick-or-Squee podcast and on it I interview artists who create dark erotic art. If you want to understand what I mean by that, you are welcome to download and read the podcast prospectus.

The podcast is making its way through the ecosystem of podcast distribution, but the primary node is at Libsyn. To listen or download, click here.

My interviewee for the inaugural podcast is Shon Richards, an erotica writer who first appeared here as a guest writer of a Tale of Gnosis College, “Trial by Curiosity,” which you can read here. He has subsequently written a pioneering set of “choose your own adventure” erotic fiction books, with titles that include Dominate Your Teacher, Abducted by Aliens, and Fight in the Sex Arena. Shon has his own author webpage here

That last, naturally, is the subject of its own episode-specific cover art.

We’re currently going to be on a roughly bi-weekly schedule for this podcast, though I might move up to weekly if there is enough interviewee interest. Naturally, if you’re an artist who makes dark erotic art and would like to chat for an hour or so with me, I’d be very interested to hear from you!

The podcast has its own website here and can be followed on Twitter @OrSquee.
