- My parasocial book club besties
I adore this podcast for your unbridled enthusiasm for these books, this community, and your irl loved ones! Y’all give great play-by-play synopses (usually) and show the value of this genre often disregarded as a mindless guilty pleasure. Over the past 2 years, I’ve gone from seeking out familiar titles to an auto download listener; your backlog of genuine life talk also helped me feel less alone as I became a new mother.

Apple Podcasts5CourtFernUnited States4 months ago - Fun most of the time
I have listened and subscribed for years now. Melodie and her various partners in romance reading are fun, funny, and legitimately make me laugh out loud. Since last year, I have really wished for episode bookmarks. Sometimes I am ok with the banter between Sabrina and Melodie and sometimes I don’t have the time. Simply put, what should reliably be a 60 minute podcast has become much too long. Consistent bookmarks might help me love this pod as much as I used to.

I listened for the first time when these ladies talked about Heated Rivalry. Their banter was delightful. It’s like being at brunch with your hilarious best friends. If you love romance novels and want to smile, check them out!
Apple Podcasts5grammar bettyUnited States10 months ago - Weird tension between hosts
Just listening to the Bride by Ali Hazelwood (1st part) episode.. and the hosts are sharing their recent experiences with one another.. and there just seems to be some really weird tension between them. Like they are only responding to one another because they have to. Is it me or do these two actually hate each other? It’s literally making me uncomfortable.
