Episode 2: Gabrielle De La Puente
We recorded this episode in March 2026 with Gabrielle De La Puente. We talk about the surrealism of disability, writing as a desirous act, and academic gatekeeping. It ended up being way too long because we got carried away. This is roughly the second half of what we recorded, because it’s got the most juice in it. Sorry if it has references to earlier conversations you haven’t heard yet. I don’t know if you can tell, but we are very new to making a podcast. Maybe in the future we’ll release the earlier bits as a bonus episode, who knows!Links and Resources MentionedThe White Pube: The collaborative platform by Gabrielle De La Puente and Zarina Muhammad.
