Hey pals! Enjoy the treat of this absolutely decadent deep-dive into DREAMING OF YOU by Lisa Kleypas with co-host of Fated Mates and co-founder of Derek Craven Day (aka the most important romance holiday in February), Jen Prokop. We put on our analysis hats and notice things about this book that we've never noticed before, proving once and for all why this is one of the all-time great all-nighter romance novels. Enjoy the show!
Pals! We're back with the second half of Bridgerton season 4! This one definitely goes at or near the top of our favorite seasons for one main reason: it's capital R Romance! Shocking that a show adapting romance novels is at its best when it focuses on the love story, right? We also discuss whether we think Francesca or Eloise will be the star of next season and who we think the new Lady Whistledown is. Enjoy the show!
Loon Comrades! You know this couldn't be a book podcast if I only gave you an episode on the Heated Rivalry show. Today, I'm talking about Heated Rivalry: the book by Rachel Reid with my certified Local Gay Icon™ friend, Braun, who says both the show and the book changed his life, and his perspective on the possibilities of queer media. We squeal over Shane, Ilya, Scott, and Kip; pitch some fanfic ideas featuring a surprise guest ...
Comrades! To paraphrase the wise words of Kate Bush, I wouldn't leave you out in the cold, so this episode I'm letting you into the window of my thoughts on Wuthering Heights (the book by Emily Bronte) and "Wuthering Heights" (the movie by Emerald Fennell). I'm joined by Caro, aka @difficultwomanreads, a Wuthering Heights internet scholar and haver of many right opinions about gothic literature. We talk Heathcliff and Cathy as roma...
Dearest, gentle comrades, it's here! The Bridgerton Season 4: Part 1 episode! I'm joined by multi-time guest host, Elodie, to chat what we loved about this season and what we didn't. We swoon over Sophie and want to shake Benedict for being such a dummy. We explore the Lady Danbury/Queen Charlotte subplot, Violet's absolutely *blooming* boobs, and the upstairs/downstairs dynamic. We also rant about what the heck is going on with El...
Hey comrades! The state of the romance genre is wild right now and I'm so excited to have author Adriana Herrera on to talk about it. We chat where the romance genre is and where it's going, fanfiction and fandom, community, feminism in romance, and (of course) Heated Rivalry. It was so awesome to hear Adriana speak and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did!

Hey comrades! It's the first deep dive (deep cut? slice? stab?) of the year and we're really getting under your skin with listener suggested serial killer romance BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD by Brynne Weaver. I'm joined by returning guest host Katie to talk about this bonkers romance in which two bonkers people, Sloane and Rowan, fall in love and also murder a good amount of people on the way. Enjoy the show!
Katie's previous episode: ...
Comrades, welcome to the Asylum! I'm joined by Ada and Ruby from the Loon Call Podcast to discuss season 1 of Heated Rivalry! We talk joining the fandom, adapting romance, who fell first (Ilya or Shane), favorite scenes, and more. Spoilers and squealing abound. Enjoy the show!

If you love data and also absolutely stuffing your TBR to the...
Happy holidays, comrades! Hope you're staying warm this December (or heading to the beach if you're a Down Under comrade) and curling up with a nice cup of cocoa and a book. If you need recs, I'm joined by Timothy Janovsky, the unofficial King of the Christmas Romcom, today to talk about campy holiday romance. We chat about why we all love to imagine banging Santa so much, the overlap between romance and horror, and telling campy q...
This one's for all the monster f*ckers! I'm joined by Minotaur milking queen C.M. Nascosta to chat all things monster romance. Why it had such a boom during lock down; what the OG monster romance is; how indie authors are leading the freaky charge. Enjoy the show!

I'm joined by Kiwi author Esme Brett to celebrate Movember and the microtrend (fingers crossed that it becomes a full trend) of mustaches in romance novels! We talk about what and who installed our love of Mustache Man, what's causing the resurgence, and recommend a full stache's worth of romances for your TBR. If you're a fan of heroes with upper lip caterpillars, whiskers, crumb catchers, and lady ticklers, this is the episode fo...
Surprise! RACHEL IS BACK! Rachel takes a break from her busy life to guest host this episode with me so that we can celebrate the podcast officially being old enough for preschool. We're combining two of the classic podcast topics--romance novels and Taylor Swift--by stuffing your TBRs with recommendations inspired by Taylor's recent, controversial album THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL. We also drop loads of fun facts, talk himbos, and spre...
Comrades! Today, I'm joined by Molly Tullis (aka The Bibliophile Blonde) to talk myths and legends and why the heck we can't stop retelling them. Also: the ethics of retellings and what gets called myth and what gets called religion. We also celebrate not being raptured, send a little love toward OG shadow daddy Hades, and recommend some of our favorite myth, legend, and folklore inspired romances. Enjoy the show!
Hey comrades! Today's episode is all about fangirling over happily ever afters, our favorite romance authors, and the revolutionary power of the romance genre--all with photographer Chandra Wicke, creator of The Happily Ever After Society, an upcoming coffee table book featuring photos and interviews from 41 romance authors as well as photos recreating scenes from some of your favorite romance books (seriously so cool!!). We also t...
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!

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
