Happy Disability Pride Month from us at The Hidden Bookcase 💕
We’re talking with @IndiaReadsALot about Hannah Kaner’s Godkiller on Monday and Andrew Joseph White’s Hell Followed With Us on the 17th, but up until now we’ve yet to reveal how we’re closing out the month…
We’re releasing another Fireside Chat, this time focused on disability representation in fantasy with the wonderful @ermreading, who brought so much incredible insight to the discussion! That’ll be out July 31st, but in the meantime you’re always welcome through the bookcase 💜💛
Non-verbal & non-speaking characters in Audio Dramas
A PowerPoint was created after receiving questions as to how we could have characters that don't speak in our show.
For an audio version, check our TikTok.
Suggestions for other ways to give non-speaking characters space in shows are welcome!
This presentation was made by someone who is mostly non-verbal and previously fully non-speaking.

Feels like now is a good time to mention Welcome to Night Vale is both fantastic and still ongoing.
It was the foundation for a lot of fictional podcasts now, and was definitely a big part of the growth in popularity of fictional podcasts. It was a lot of people's first podcast. It still stands up today among the greats.
There is a certain contingent of Bob's Burgers fans out there for whom Bob is a certified bi icon. It mostly comes down to this scene, from the fourth-season "Turkey in a Can" Thanksgiving episode, where an unknown culprit keeps putting the turkey in the toilet, forcing Bob to return again and again to the butcher to get a new one, and causing the flirting to escalate. The butcher — a one-off character who they should probably bring back one day — is voiced by Tuc Watkins, the gay actor who also played the daddy in that one episode of The Other Two.
One reason this episode connected with some viewers, despite the fact that Bob never outright says he's bi, is that there aren't that many episodes of sitcoms where characters get to be explicitly bi. Bisexuality usually gets implied or, rather, hinted at enough that the viewer has to do the work themselves. But it's a valid reading, we say, and if any show gets to be the first to do a bi-themed Thanksgiving episode, it should be Bob's Burgers.
Have a listen to our episode to hear us talk through the bi-ness of it all.
And also enjoy the art Ian O'Phelan made for it of a very sexy burger Bob.
