Season 2 Episode 11: The Secrets We Hide

On this spicy episode of Blush Podcast, Kelly and Branden dive headfirst into Berlin Wick’s steamy debut novel, The Secrets We Hide—and trust us, it’s not just about secrets, it’s about desires in jars. Literal fantasy jars.

They unpack what happens when couples bottle up their wildest dreams (on purpose!), and how trust, communication, and a dash of vulnerability turn up the heat. Along the way, they get real about the awkward art of narrating intimate scenes in audiobooks (spoiler: it's harder than it sounds), and dish out behind-the-scenes secrets on casting voices for steamy stories.

But it's not all hot-and-heavy—this episode is a rollercoaster of giggles and nostalgia. Expect Muppet confessions, Elmo shout-outs, Furbies with feelings, and a “Never Have I Ever” game that reveals way more than intended.

Kelly and Branden also get candid about dating in the digital age, laugh over some wild college memories, and reflect on dancing, family chaos, and the magnetic pull of emotional chemistry.

Stick around for book recs, a peek at upcoming guests, and enough banter to make your headphones blush.
