An Author Special on Being The Other Mother with Comedian Jen Brister

Dolly's found an emotional support horse called Flirty; Pandora is in love with a Twitter thread about what it was really like to work in HMV. And - gird your loins - Thatcher Wine has done his FIRST INTERVIEW. It's predictably surreal.Today we host comedian Jen Brister, the author of The Other Mother, published by Square Peg at Penguin Random House, about same sex relationships and being not the biological mother to her twin boys, but "the other one". We talk parenthood, partnership and the pressure of having to come out all over again, as a gay mother.E-mail [email protected] @thehighlowshowLinksThe Other Mother, by Jen Brister https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1116917/the-other-mother/9781910931967The Testaments, by Margaret Atwood https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-testaments/9781784742324Thatcher Wine interview by Hilary Reid for The Cut https://www.thecut.com/2019/09/thatcher-wine-juniper-books.htmlAnthony Ekundayo Lennon interview on being accused of 'passing' as a black man, by Simon Hattenstone for The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/07/anthony-lennon-theatre-director-accused-of-passing-as-black-interview-simon-hattenstoneThree Vicars Talking https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0007qb0Donna Schaper on Here’s The Thing https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/heres-the-thing-with-alec-baldwin/id472939437?i=1000447319326MUNA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mGkMQc308wY Hosted on Acast.
