Episode number two of Read My Bitch is ready to be consumed for your listening pleasure.

For this episode, Bitch reader and contributor Brittany Shoot reads Anna Clark's "The Ambition Condition: Women, writing, and the issue of success," from Issue 41 (Loud) from the Fall of 2008. Stream the article, and our conversation afterwards, below. (Read the article here, interview transcript here.). You can subscribe to all Bitch Media podcasts through our blog RSS or via iTunes, or download the file from archive.org.

You can read Brittany's work in Bitch as well as her own site. Her guest blog, The Biotic Woman ran on the Bitch blogs earlier this year and covered eco-feminism. If you'd like to be featured on Read My Bitch, send me an email at online {at} b-word.org, telling me which article you'd like to read and discuss and why. This podcast may require experience or access to digital recording, but all queries are welcome!

Read My Bitch: A new podcast by Bitch Media

Audio post by Kjerstin Johnson, April 8, 2010 - 12:29pm; tagged bitch magazine, Harriet the Spy, YA fiction.

Read My Bitch is a brand-new audio segment that features Bitch Magazine readers and subscribers sharing one of their favorite articles from the archives by reading it aloud and discussing it afterwards. For our first episode, Kristin reads aloud "Harriet and Claudia, where have you gone? Notes on the gender divide in children's literature," by Monica T. Nolan, which was printed in Issue 15, Winter 2002. Kristin reads aloud a sizable excerpt from the piece, and, being in the publishing industry herself, discusses how she relates both personally and professionally to the article, which covers how independent, young female protagonists are unfortunately few and far between. You can subscribe to Read My Bitch on our iTunes channel, along with other Bitch audio programs.
