Let It Snow with Erin Byrne Siskind

Hello again, old faithful listeners of The RomCom Effect! This is co-host Lena, chiming in to let you know of a new podcast I am hosting and producing called Smooch Fest!It's a celebration of the best kissing scenes in pop culture - across movies, tv, books, public appearances, and more. Each week, I am joined by a guest (some familiar, some new) to discuss these iconic smooches. My pal Katie pops in for the third episode, be sure to check that one out :)Smooch Fest also answers the question: Why do people kiss? Do animals kiss? Why is kissing the predominant display of affection? That's right, it's not just a pop culture podcast, we also teach you SCIENCE. This is a podcast for you STEM lovers and LOVE lovers out there. So make sure to follow Smooch Fest to keep up to date with the world of smooches, romance, and pop culture!Follow and subscribe to Smooch Fest here:https://open.spotify.com/show/1D76mtajlEnyrEA556PsnL?si=4ef7ebe7345f452e https://linktr.ee/smoochfestpod
