Join hosts Author Carola and AichiYume in a fun jaunt to The Yaoi Shelf: an exploration of yaoi, shonen ai, and boy's love while discussing tropes, media criticism and more along the way. Grab a seat and get comfy, welcome to The Yaoi Shelf.   In this episode, Amanda and Carola enlist the help of very special guest and literal BL Scholar, Dr. Thomas Baudinette, to talk about a topic that has been part of the fujin experience for years: is this fetishizing gay men.   You can get Dr. Thomas' book here: https://www.press.umich.edu/11510904 And follow him on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/tbaudinette Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/TheYaoiShelf Follow us on Twitter! -https://twitter.com/yaoishelf --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-yaoi-shelf/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-yaoi-shelf/support
