Love your podcast and loving the HR content. When you discuss Ep 4 and/or 5 on reheat, I would love to hear your thoughts on “Because Russia!” This is literally keeping me up at night: In Tampa, Ilya uses “Because Russia!” as a reason they cannot be together. If this were such an issue for Ilya, how dis tuna melt even happen? Russia was just as much of an issue during tuna melt.

The depth of analysis in this episode ( the first one I listened to) is astounding! I love how deep these two get into the minutiae of the show and book. Will continue to listen to this podcast.
Cass seems to watch and discuss all my favorite tv Outlander, Bridgerton, Heated Rivalry, any book to screen romance story plus White Lotus and Survivor! Cass always notices things I totally miss so I have to rewatch from her point of view. The podcast is a lovely breath of fresh air from the chaos In real life. 🩷
Love these two and their witty banter! Huge Bridgerton fan so I’m hooked!!
I’m not a massive romance fan, tbh but lately I’ve needed a stronger escape from the daily downs of the world and the news. These ladies have made being a little unhinged about certain projects FUN! And god damn, I’ve needed some fun. If you’re looking for escapism like I seem to be on the daily now, I recommend! Thank ladies. Unhinged fandom fantasy is much better with a tribe!
