and it's like fantasy.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Romance.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
What's it's coined romantic novels, romanticy and it is it's
a combo of romance, fantasy and often smut.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Which so is that and the what's I mean?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
To be honest, it's kind of if you know, bridges
and level stuff, but if it was romance and fantasy,
not romance and regional era.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Every ten years, this comes around fifty shades of gray,
did it? When you know all about bondage and you know,
being dominated and stuff, And so now we're moving into
the fantasy.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So we're talking like dragons.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
So yeah, there's a few big big genres. There's dragons,
there's fairies, vampire, well, wolf.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Thing has been around, but the dragons, I guess is
you as far as adding smart to the Game of Thrones, definitely.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's a big, big book called Fourth Wing. The Fourth
Wing series is really massive right now, that's the dragons one.
There's a big fairy one at the moment is a
Court of Thorns, and Roses series by Sarah J. Mass,
which I gave a bit of a I have to
call Yeah, I have to I have to call on
my friend Jordan because I sent her a message before
dawn being like, hey, can you send me some photos
(01:32):
from your copy so that Kip can read out? And
she was straight I don't know if she just has
a sixth per cents for romancy. She's like, here they
are straight away, okay, not even up.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
So if you've got kids in the car where you
know that we're beeping, we're appropriate.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, there are some terms that will hopefully go over
the head, but just obviously you use your own judgment.
But this is just a little bit. So what are
we What am I reading about here? These are Is
there a drag? I'm hearing wings? Is there a dragon?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Okay? So this is from the Yeah, it's the fairy series.
It's not the Dragon series. But it could be confused
because they're fairies with wings, like more like dragons, but wings.
I don't want to get too much in the weeds
of it, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:13):

Fairies, two fairies, human like fairies.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, And this has a bit of fairy smart.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
She went molten, and from the way his wings tucked in,
she knew he could scent the building between her thighs.
Her breathing came in sharp pants as he traced the
tip of her finger around her nipp tristan flickton, a hard,
sharp bite that made her whimper, desperate for more of him,
(02:40):
for all of him, Trudy said, do what you want.
He circled her niple again, a predator playing with its dinner.
He was a portrait of male arrogance, a warrior poised
to conquer, and she nearly climaxed to the side of it.
We don't have time in one night for all of
the things I want to do to you, every place
(03:01):
I want to touch and fill you. She rubbed her
thighs together, desperate for any friction.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Then do your best. Who's reading this? I know, I was,
I know, But who's the target audience alive? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So this is the thing. So A Brisbane expert, a
Brisbane literary expert from Griffith has said that Younger Women

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
