b'When Stephen Mazur, Assistant editor at The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, interviews writers, he always asks them this question: \\u201cWhy do you write?\\u201d One of the most common answers is: \\u201cBecause I couldn\\u2019t find the stories I wanted to read.\\u201d
\\nIn this episode, filmmaker Shannon Strucci and critic Leslie Lee of Struggle Session were kind enough to join us to talk about why we need to tell our own stories instead of waiting for someone else to tell it for you. We also discuss the corporate monopolization of media, the value of supporting independent marginalized artists, and rethinking what it means to participate in culture. Special appearances by Shannon’s dog and Raquel’s cat.
