Comrades! Today I'm chatting about "older" heroines with queer writer, author of EVERY STEP SHE TAKES, and WRION veteran, Alison Cochrun. We talk about whether FMCs are getting older in romance, queer awakenings, and how we balance escapism and diversity in our reading. We also recommend some delicious romances with FMCs who are 30+ years. Enjoy the show!

Hey comrades! In this episode, I'm chatting about what the heck "historical accuracy" is anyway with my new favorite historical romance author (and 19th c. English lit professor) Alexandra Vasti, author of the upcoming sapphic romcom, LADIES IN HATING. We talk about falling into research rabbit holes, when to throw that research in the trash, and assign an appropriate amount of hate toward Georgette Heyer and the Victorians. And of...
Hey pals! We Read It One Night is back!! I'm jumping in feet-first with the incredible Danica Nava to chat about cowboy romance and Westerns. Danica's debut THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO EMBER became the first traditionally published all-Native romance (Native MCs, Native author) and she's reclaiming cowboy romance with her latest LOVE IS A WAR SONG. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! We're back with our first new episode of 2025 and this time we're jumping into the third book in Ana Huang's Twisted series, TWISTED HATE.

Hey pals! Today, wrapping up Kiera Cass's Selection saga with THE ONE. We'll finally reveal whether the blonde teenage boy or the brown haired teenage boy wins the love triangle and explain how a book can be closed-door, no spice and still be a bodice ripper. The last 10% is shit-a-brick insane and the whole book makes much more sense when you remember it's Bachelor franchise fanfiction. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! It's our third anniversary and we're throwing our birthday party in the swamp, specifically the sexy sapphic swamp from Darva Green's SHE CAME FROM THE SWAMP. We're three years old now, and thankfully podcasts age like cats, because otherwise we'd be way too young to be reading smutty romance. We're celebrating all the support you've given us over three years as well as the love and joy we get from reading romance, and es...
Hey pals! Today, we're wrapping up the second half of LOTHAIRE today and this book ramps up the camp to approximately 1000!! Ellie and Lothaire exchange body parts, Alison finally gets to read a blood blowjob, and Lothaire gets another dog. We thank Kresley Cole every day for writing this wildly fun, sexy, romantic, bonkers book. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Spooky Season continues as Rachel and Alison dive into the first half of listener suggestion and iconic vampire romance in the Immortals After Dark series, LOTHAIRE by Kresley Cole. Lothaire, aka The Enemy of Old (dramatic, tbh), is the most morally grey hero to ever wear the color, and his FMC Ellie spends the entire book violently humbling him (as she should). This book hits 1000% of the time and we're obsessed--hope yo...
Hey pals and happy spooky month! We're kicking it off with THE TIME I GOT DRUNK AND SAVED A DEMON by Kimberly Lemming. This opposites attract, forced proximity, demon-banging romance is a delightful romp through a swamp. So strap in those earphones and get ready for the power of love, cinnamon, and dragon boners!
Brazen banter: Childhood sports! Thematic naming!

Hey pals! Today, we're talking about the greatest critique of the class system since the Communist Manifesto, aka THE ELITE by Kiera Cass. We're back with the America/Maxon/Aspen love triangle, which takes a turn from Hunger Games vibes to Twilight vibes. And more than ever, we're convinced that this series was actually just one long book, so we can't wait to read number 3. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're wrapping up our yap about A KINGDOM OF DREAMS by Judith McNaught with Hannah and Caroline at Romance Your TBR Podcast. We're still swooning over Royce and Jenny in between of waxing poetic about why we think historical romance is the supreme romance subgenre. Do you agree with us? Let us know in a rating and review, and enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're joined by Hannah and Caroline from the Romance Your TBR podcast to talk about listener suggestion A KINGDOM OF DREAMS by Judith McNaught. If you read one old, old school historical romance, it's gotta be this one, because it's honestly one of the most iconic books of all time. Jenny and Royce are the ultimate Tudor Era enemies turned full on couple goals, and we were giggling and kicking our feet while readi...
Hey pals! Today, we're starting THE SELECTION series by Kiera Cass. This surprisingly Marxist, Bachelor-inspired, dystopian YA love triangle sucked us in and kept our attention. Join us as we follow kinda-like-other-girls America Singer as she struggles to choose between golden retriever Prince Maxon and dark-haired boy Aspen while living in a fancy palace with the world's worst security system. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're chatting with *the* Ilyana Kadushin, aka the narrator of the Twilight Saga!! If you're a long time listener, you'll know that we've been Ilyana fans and have wanted to have her on the pod since the beginning, so this was basically just an hour of fangirling from us. We hope you enjoy the behind the scenes scoop into narrating the series and the inside look into how audiobook narration works. Happy listening!
Hey pals! Today, we’re jumping into the second book in Ana Huang's Twisted series, TWISTED GAMES. This kinky bodyguard/princess romance is positively normal compared to the insanity that was Twisted Love, and we absolutely hate it all up. Enjoy the show!

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
