Podcasts

I’ve been an invited guest on several podcasts to speak about my work, pop culture, and what I can’t stop thinking about—femmes, memes, friendship, the astrology of the royal family. Here are some of my favourite episodes:

  • Sexuality Studies Spotlight

    Remember Tumblr? Acafemmeic Research with Andi Schwartz and Keely O’Brien

    Host Keely O’Brien is joined by York’s Centre for Feminist Research (CFR) coordinator Dr. Andi Schwartz. They discuss Andi’s research interests in femme subjectivities, critical femininities, and the rapidly changing world of online subcultures from Tumblr to Instagram and beyond.

  • Jo's Boys: A Little Women Podcast

    Chapter 8: Jo Meets Apollyon with Andi Schwartz

    This week, we're joined by special guest Andi Schwartz. We dive into the eighth chapter of Little Women, "Jo Meets Apollyon," where Amy lights Jo's manuscript on fire then pays for her misdeed by falling through the ice of the local river-slash-pond situation. Fittingly, Andi and I talk a lot about Jenny Fran Davis's essay "High Femme Camp Antics.”
