TLT (The Lesbian Talkshow)

Your Ultimate Guide To Becoming THE BEST LESBIAN EVER

Les Talk About It

Episode 1 of 5 The Holiday Special

Sheena is joined by Kiki Archer, author of lesbian fiction to discuss the very important checklist that is known as Your Ultimate Guide To Becoming THE BEST LESBIAN EVER.

This is a funny take on lesbianism and is absolutely not meant to be taken seriously.

Our checklist:

You need to own at least 14 cats
Wear more flannel than a lumberjack
Have one ex with 25 different personalities
All your friends are exes
You know all lesbians
Own a U-haul outright
You have to be a vegetarian or vegan
Can tell the difference between Tegan and Sarah
You need to be able to burst into a drinking song
You have no idea who made this year’s sexiest man list
Your gold star badge is properly shined and kept on a velvet pillow
Attended every Pink concert ever
Know that every strong woman is actually lesbian
You own all of Kiki Archer’s books
Be very exotic in your sex positions

Nothing To Lose by Clare Lydon

Book Clips

Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet.

In this episode we hear the first chapter of the audiobook for Nothing To Lose by Clare Lydon narrated by Gabrielle Baker

Synopsis

Can you find love in a hopeless place?

Nobody would ever describe Scarlet Williams as a ray of sunshine, but that doesn’t mean she deserves the flood that wipes out her basement flat, making her temporarily homeless.

Enter Joy Hudson, local mayor & sunshine specialist, who opens her house to flood refugees and ends up with Scarlet on her doorstep. Two more opposing characters you couldn’t fail to meet, and yet, somehow, they strike up a friendship. But when the rain stops and the sun comes out, could that friendship blossom into something more?

If you’re a fan of contemporary lesbian romance, you’ll love Scarlet & Joy’s story, bursting with real characters and shot through with British wit. From the international best-selling author of London Calling and This London Love comes a heart-warming tale of love & redemption.
