Episode Details

In this episode, we dive into two unforgettable reads that explore love, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.

We sit down with Madeleine Gray, author of Chosen Family, to unpack the emotional complexity behind her novel from queer identity and self-loathing to the power of chosen relationships and modern motherhood.

Then we turn to a true classic: Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin a novel that left us completely shaken. We explore its themes of shame, desire, and emotional conflict, and why it still feels so relevant today.
