Great show today. I love it when there's a mixture of great submissions.

 

[Paul R]

I've been enjoying watching Pop Up Submissions over the last few weeks and catching up with some old ones. I'm currently part way through watching yesterday's. I agree with the guests that the second submission was stunningly written, but I'm surprised there weren't any trigger warnings given at any point before it was read, particularly as the blurb didn't prepare viewers for what was coming. I'm assuming that at least someone at Litopia, and the narrator have read each extract before the show goes live. I'm not a victim of abuse but I can imagine that a viewer who was might have been traumatised by the opening of Serra's submission. I think if you are going to include such writing on the show (which I think you probably should) you need to give some sort of warning before it is read.

I wonder if newcomers to the show may think that The Genius Room is for selected people, and not a chat room that they too can join if they join litopia?

Pete does make it clear very often in those words-as an incentive to join.
