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 spread some conspiracy theories about Taylor's true identity. Enjoy the show!

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.

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 talk about the romance genre and feminism, romance as resistance, and Ali Hazelwood and Adriana Herrera's blockbuster After the End project. And of course, we each give you recs for romance books with HEAs that surprised us (seems like an oxymoron, but trust me!). Enjoy the show!

Comrades! Today I'm chatting about "older" heroines with queer writer, author of EVERY STEP SHE TAKES, and WRION veteran, Alison Cochrun.

We also recommend some delicious romances with FMCs who are 30+ years. Enjoy the show! Connect with Alison: www.alisoncochrun.com; @alisoncochrun Episodes ft.

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 course, we're stuffing your TBRs with our favorite historically accurate recs. Enjoy the show!
