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 Eloise's character and give the Michaela antis the set down they need. Let us know what you think of this season in your review or on socials. Enjoy the show!

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!

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 queer stories especially this time of year. 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 for you!
