Join us for the second part of our discussion of Sarah Kuhn’s audio drama Doctor Aphra, an adaptation of Kieron Gillen’s first run of the Darth Vader comics. We talk about the nature of Aphra’s relationship with Vader, Aphra’s queer identity, and the story’s cross-media connections.
The cause we’re highlighting for this episode is the #BooksSaveLives campaign at We Need Diverse Books. Books Save Lives employs a three-pronged strategy to directly address book bans and champion diverse titles. We will raise awareness, provide resources, and create positive change, all while supporting the educators, authors, and children most affected by the bans. Donate here.
