March 2026 -- Bonus (Women's History Month)

Send us Fan Mail

It occurred to the crew here at Just In Case We Die that a vast majority of the broadcast space is devoted to male authors. It would seem that the editors of the original list didn’t have as many women writers that they found to be “essential.” In three full years of episode dropping, with the minor exception of three short stories, there have only been six discussions featuring novels written by female authors--and one of them was written by a woman who had to pretend she was a man!

March is Women’s History Month, so it was decided to center this month’s bonus episode around feminine writers. There’s plenty to discuss: genres that have secretly been hiding excellent female authors amongst their ranks, the favorite female scribes of all three members of the cast, and stereotypes about female writers that need to go away. It’s Just In Case We Die’s first ever episode dedicated to women!
