  • Delightful, indulgent

    I really like this podcast. It isn't just about romantic novels, but also romance movies and TV shows. Each episode ties into a theme, and Poppy also adds in links to videos related to the movies/shows or the book links. I really like that, so I can explore the titles some more. This is a sweet indulgence.
