Podcast - Danielle Corsetto (Girls With Slingshots)

Thank you all for your patience! Here it is, our long-awaited podcast with Danielle Corsetto! <3 Probably our most ADHD/NSFW podcast ever! It has to be awesome; why else would I have all these exclamation marks!?
Danielle's self-portrait

I'm not going to lie, the final podcast in our Intervention line-up was our hardest to edit. I… There… I hope you like it. Here's a preview: Danielle's sex toy reviews lead to Warren Ellis' "Conan" posts which brought up a story of how not to show off body mods. I also explained to Danielle how one, single, line of text of hers has haunted me for months. 

The podcast quickly escalated into "how best to horrify Danielle," or, perhaps more accurately "We know Aine will have to edit all of this second by second, so let's whip out all the worst stories we can think of interspersed with legitimate interview questions." ___ 

Although we did get to hear about how Danielle is at winning Twitter ("Anyone free for dinner?" can turn into a 40+ fan meetup), and how badass her hometown is, Danielle also revealed a few secrets. For example, although she writes about the hilarious antics of Hazel's alcohol-induced hallucinations, the comic is far less autobiographical than most people assume. But hey, no one's going to turn their nose up at free liquor, which is evidently an unanticipated side effect of creating McPedro.

My protestations aside, this is hands-down one of the most fun conversations I've had in months. I need to find a way to stalk hang out with Danielle sometime when we're not all run into the ground by convention sleep dep and pounding five-hours. Oh, and the podcast has given me a new life goal: discover the hidden West Virginian utopia.

Link list!
I'll leave you with Puppy Cow and McPedro's 50 seconds of terror:
