| Abstract: | At Witch, Please Productions—the queer feminist media production company I co-founded with Marcelle Kosman and Hannah Rehak—we have a motto that underpins and guides our collaborative ethos: "no one is in trouble." Our insistence that no one is in trouble is rooted in our queer feminist ethics of care, one that prioritizes the well-being of our collaborative team and by extension our larger community of collaborators, interlocutors, and listeners. While stated overtly and frequently at Witch, Please Productions, this care-based ethos of collaborative media creation emerged gradually for me through various collaborative projects, including The SpokenWeb Podcast and the Amplify Podcast Network, both projects that were also, notably, built through queer feminist collaborations. By prioritizing care and well-being from the beginning, and building projects from the ground up with that ethos in place, we are collectively learning new ways to make things together. This article takes the form of a conversation with some of my key collaborators, modeling the playful collectivity of these projects, to match in form what I am articulating in content: that we create more radical, expansive, collaborative scholarship when we center care, relationships, and the well-being of the collective.
