Beautiful book alert! Part-chilling tale, part-memoir, part-cultural exploration, Haunted by @jaylikesthings takes us through enduring ghost stories, what they reveal about the listener, the teller and the times we live in. Find out more: loom.ly/1OPZeRM

Delighted to write this for @The_Globe to expand some more on the rich, evolving tradition of playing Juliet – a tradition into which Francesca Amewudah-Rivers will soon step (& in which Felixe Forde is currently shining).
"There is not one Juliet. There never has been" Dr Sophie Duncan (@clamorousvoice) author of Searching For Juliet, gives us the history of Juliet. THREAD 🧵

The first Black professional actor on a British stage whose name we know was a Black woman, Rachael Baptiste, who played Juliet in the eighteenth century. All power to @JamieLloydCo and their leading lady, Francesca Amewaduh-Rivers. She joins a proud, long tradition.

We loved reading everything we were sent for Issue 3 of @bansheejournal and I’m loving reading it all again now I have it in physical form. Today: this incredible poem by @LauraNuckols

Thanks @chillsubs! For our "Homelands" issue, we've got a lot of poetry and a good amount of first person confessional prose, so we're not looking for much more of that, but would love some 3rd person short/flash fic & some parody/review/recipe pieces!

oh ya while I think of it—a couple of guys have mentioned this recently and I didn't give an answer in the moment! But, the reason your all-guys podcast has trouble getting girls on is that you are an all-guys podcast. Add someone else (as producer? etc) and talk about them/her!
