Throwing Shade #312

Bryan and Erin celebrate the wave of progressive candidates swept into office in the latest elections before getting into this week’s stories about a judge’s secretly recorded homophobic insults and Notre Dame’s rollback of birth control coverage for students and faculty alike. Guests Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis of webseries-turned-movie “Carmilla” join to explain how they ended up providing a voice for a rainbow of fans, the history behind the titular character, and the unlikely intersection of vampirism and lesbianism.
