Interregnum interviews @jacobengelberg.bsky.social on his new book, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression. The book argues that the way we look at queer film centres the gay/straight binary and considers what happens when bisexuality breaks the rules.

Yes! You can sign up for our newsletter here and learn about all our fascinating new nonfiction titles and also our big sales: signup.e2ma.net/signup/20019...

Podcasters that are making series based on aggregating information from books:
1. Cite the books
2. Encourage your listeners to read past the information you gave them

Otherwise what you’re doing is a little culture vulture-y

The other thing I need to say is that PUBLICATIONS NEED TO COVER CULTURE INCLUDING BOOKS

I keep hearing that publications are declining to do book reviews. Places like @physicstoday.aip.org and WaPo got rid of their book sections entirely 🧪

We want people to learn about science but where?

Hosting both Emma Amador and Chandra Mohanty this month. Very excited to read their books
