Charlie Jane AndersEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Charlie Jane Anders is an award-winning, best-selling author of speculative fiction based in the Bay Area. She is the winner of the 2017 Nebula, Locus, and Crawford awards; winner of the 2020 Locus Award; a co-creator of the transgender Marvel Comics superhero, Escapade; a founding editor of the science fiction website io9 ; a co-host, with Annalee Newitz, of the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct ; and the current science fiction and fantasy book reviewer for The Washington Post . In this episode, I talk to Charlie Jane about her latest and most personal novel yet. Written during the pandemic, partly as a way of processing her own father's death and her mother's subsequent isolation, Lessons in Magic and Disaster is about a 20-something graduate student in English Literature who teaches her grieving mother how to do magic...with unexpected consequences. In our conversation, we talk about the hidden history of the 18th century novel, LGBTQ activism in the 70s and 80s, the role of community in writing, and so much more.

We had the absolute joy of sitting down with Charlie Jane Anders , the author of the book we’ve focused on for our last four episodes (All the Birds in the Sky). We talked with Anders about POV, tone, and how she played around with humor —partly by occasionally using an omniscient POV! Anders also explained how to incorporate humor and whimsy, and what it feels like to take risks as an author in today’s literary landscape.

Bite into baklava with Charlie Jane Anders as we discuss how her childhood fantasy of aliens whisking her away from Earth gave birth to her Unstoppable trilogy, the way writing a YA meant she had to completely change the way she writes, the challenges of bringing a large cast of characters to life while giving them their own inner lives, why she has problems with Clarke's Third Law but was willing to roll with it for her new trilogy, the difficulties of still being at work on the third book of a trilogy when the first was already in the hands of readers, how growing as a writer means embracing the messiness of the process, her reaction to being called "this generation's Le Guin," what she had to learn to be able to write comics, and so much more.

When it comes to film characters, author and commentator Charlie Jane Anders found that she had to took way back to a movie she loved as a child, AUNTIE MAME (1958) , to name someone that made her feel seen in an aspirational way. But in that special FEELING SEEN way, the search for a character to identify with ends up revealing a whole slew of exuberant women who aren't afraid to live their big, colorful lives -- women like Harley Quinn, Leslie Knope, and the 13th Doctor. For one quick thing this week, Jordan's got something stuck in her craw regarding the franchise-fan response to the new TEXAS CHAINSAW movie. *** Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , and Facebook With Jordan Crucchiola and Charlie Jane Anders Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) chat with author Charlie Jane Anders (@charliejaneanders) about why Gunpowder Milkshake Should’ve Been Gay. This movie was full of way too many kickass women in suits for us to believe that all of them are straight. We discuss the very clear poly relationship going on between all of the women in the library, the bisexual lighting following Sam around in every scene, and debate whether Madeleine's death counts toward Bury Your Gays. We talk about the lack of character development and how many missed opportunities there were for things to be so much gayer.
