Deb: Laughter in the Rain
from The Volume Knob Hosted by Conseil Keith Serry Inc.
I know I throw around "multi-talented" quite a bit to describe the storytellers who come on TVK but it'd be a mistake to use a less complimentary word to describe Deb. In addition to being a storyteller and a valuable member of the production team at Montreal's Confabulation storytelling series, Deb is a media artist, videographer, and writer. She also (after my own heart) is an experienced radio producer having (for sixteen years!) produced and hosted Dykes on Mykes, at CKUT 90.3 FM. She won the 2015 3Macs carte blanche QWF prize for her short story Self-Serve, and published Ghost Station in the Queer Perspectives edition of The Malahat Review. Deb is the production coordinator at Ada-X, a feminist artist-run centre. As always, remember to follow the show on instagram, twitter and facebook and to get over to the website to sign up for the TVK mailing list.

What this episode covers
Deb feels a little different, but she doesn't quite have the words. She's read the same Tiger Beat magazines as the other girls in her elementary school, but she isn't feeling the same feelings. Or is she? There is that one girl on the school bus. And her best friend, the one who stuck gum in her hair. Maybe, eventually, the right words will arrive. Magic words, which give her the vocabulary to understand where (and who) she really is.
