12 – Aiden Thomas: Cemetery Boys, craft, and claiming space
Aiden Thomas is the New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys and the first openly trans author to hit the fiction bestseller list with a trans main character. He built one of the most dedicated readerships in YA fantasy largely without a marketing budget by talking about his characters online for six months straight before the book ever came out. Avi and Yas get into how Aiden writes trans characters without flattening them, why bringing your full intersectional identity to your work is a creative advantage, and how publishers manufacture the myth that queer stories don't sell. This episode goes deep on the business of YA publishing, what it took to get Cemetery Boys out there, and how Aiden is supporting trans, queer, and BIPOC writers trying to make it in an industry built against them. For listeners into trans books, LGBTQ publishing, queer YA fantasy, or the business side of traditional publishing, this one's worth your time.

11 – Tomboy Watch Party! Tender, timeless, and trans masc
We're watching Tomboy (2011), Céline Sciamma's tender French film about a gender non-conforming 10-year-old who introduces himself as Mickäel to kids in his new apartment building. This slice-of-life story captures the specific innocence, freedom, and fear of childhood gender exploration in ways that felt shockingly familiar to both of us. We get personal about the boy names we secretly went by (Tom and Michael, very white of us), the moments of stolen boyhood we both experienced, and why we spent the entire film bracing for trauma that never came. Tomboy refuses to build toward violence, instead trusting the audience to understand what it costs to survive as a trans kid just trying to be seen. We also dig into Sciamma's intentional choice to leave the protagonist's gender open to interpretation, creating space for trans men, non-binary people, lesbians, and questioning viewers to all find themselves in the story. Plus, we explore why trans masc representation keeps showing up in critically acclaimed indie films but rarely breaks through to mainstream Hollywood, and what that pattern means for our visibility and our paychecks. This episode is for anyone who grew up hiding, anyone who made a Play-Doh packer, and anyone still asking what trans narratives could look like if they trusted us enough to just exist. Tomboy is streaming on Criterion Channel if you want to watch ahead of time.

10 – Charlie Hano: Casting, community, and career-building
Two-time Artios Award-winning casting director Charlie Hano joins In Full View to talk about casting as a craft, how trans masculine actors can advocate for themselves in auditions, and what it takes to build a casting career when you can't study it in school. Charlie breaks down what casting directors look for in auditions, why auditions should feel like parties instead of interrogations, and how actors can reach out to casting professionals without crossing boundaries. He also opens up about the gap in trans masculine representation in theater and film, why people don't know what trans men look like, and his vision for a world where all-cisgender casts are intentional dramaturgical choices instead of the default. This episode is for trans actors navigating the entertainment industry, aspiring casting directors finding their path, and anyone who wants to understand how casting rooms actually work behind the scenes.
