This is an incredibly postive romance podcast. I love that it is hosted by a husband and wife team who clearly love each other. Katie is a fantastic recapper and I love how Carl is so supportive of her love of the genre. I am really enjoying the holiday episodes.

A bubbly, boundary-pusting look at flirty, explicit romance and erotica with a cheeky, couple-led vibe.
