Author Lex Croucher Loses Arm Wrestle Live on Air !
<p>Okay no, we don’t arm wrestle because that would be terrible audio content, but we do fight each other verbally really far more than you'd expect.

In this conversation, Lex gives you some ASMR from their main character energy coffee while discussing the joys of fandom addiction, ‘making’ Robin Hood gay, and being quietly queer in your own home. </p><br><p>Had an awful lot of QJ recording this, I hope get it listening too.
