Meet Your Hosts
Patricia Elzie-Tuttle (aka Patricia Elzie) is a writer, podcaster, and librarian. Her weekly newsletter, Enthusiastic Encouragement & Dubious Advice offers self-improvement and mental health advice and resources that pull from her experience as a queer, Black, & Filipina person existing in the world. More of her written work can also be found on Book Riot, in Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy edited by Kelly Jensen, and, if you’re feeling spicy, in Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 4 edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel. Patricia is co-host of the All the Books and All the Backlist podcast, where she recommends a variety of reads. She lives in Oakland, CA with her wife Nicole and a positively alarming amount of books.
Nicole has eaten tacos in Sweden and Beijing.
