Sanjana and Tyler open by making the case that the World Cup is a 48-country meet-cute machine (see: kilted Scotsmen throwing women over their shoulders in Boston bars). Then KT Hoffman joins to talk baseball in romance: why the minor leagues are mor... more

Love the podcast, been a listener since the beginning. With the new Radio 831 episodes, PLEASE consider how long the ads are running for and when during the show. I honestly thought the episode was over because there were 2 sets of 4 minutes of ads and I would’ve missed the whole rest of the show.
I really enjoy Sanjana’s perspectives on the romance genre. She is very thoughtful and her insights into the genre clearly come from being well read across the sub-genres and varied publishing years. In contrast, Tyler comes across as someone who has only “discovered” romance within the last few years and has only read the top 5 tiktok books for each year since 2020.

Listener since your first episode and the Of a Kind days. 10 years on and I still can’t tell your voices apart. I will miss them.
The recent episode was like calling a friend you haven’t talked to in a while and was so therapeutic. Don’t know why hearing them talk about grocery lists and shopping strategies brought me so much joy but it did.
Good content but... I can't handle the raspy, gravelly voice. I feel like some voice coaching would be very beneficial. The podcaster does not sound hoarse, and is probably unaware she is even doing it.
