    Season 1 Finale

    The Spice Cabinet closes out Season 1 with big hair, mixtapes, and a little paranormal teenage angst. This week, the ladies crack open Grove Hollow by Shelby Nicole McFadden, a YA romance set in 1985, complete with ghostly mysteries and just the right amount of VHS static. Expect nostalgic tangents, plenty of giggles, and maybe even a few big announcements as the besties wrap up their first season in style. Because nothing says “season finale” like crushes, cassette tapes, and a touch of the supernatural.

    She's a Rescue

    The countdown is on, this is the second-to-last episode of Season 1, and the Spice Cabinet ladies are more fired up than ever. This week’s read, Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, sparks big laughs, bold takes, and a few wildly off-topic detours (would it even be us without them?) With only one more week before the season finale, we’re serving extra spice, extra laughs, and our most unfiltered selves yet.

    Dime Ice?

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, your favorite trio escapes the July heat by cranking the AC and diving into The Frost Queen's Blade, a spicy fantasy full of ice, intrigue, and...wait, what was that character’s name again? The title alone is a mouthful, and the plot doesn’t make it any easier for these three besties. Despite the confusion, the laughs are flowing, the opinions are spicy, and the vibe is peak book club chaos. It’s a shorter episode, but trust us… the chat is still piping hot.

    Elaine Galifianakis

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, your favorite trio is FINALLY diving into Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros; yes, the sequel two-thirds of us procrastinated reading, and now deeply regret waiting so long! Chaos, laughter, and spice ensue as the book besties reunite to break down the dragons, drama, and delicious tension of book three in the Empyrean Series. Katie’s memory for names continues to be hilariously nonexistent, Lindsay’s got theories that might just blow your mind, and Alycia is trying her best to keep the chaos contained… emphasis on trying. We may be a few days late, but trust us, this episode is absolutely worth the wait. Grab your iced coffee (or drink of choice), and join us for another fiery week in The Spice Cabinet.

    Natalie Narrates

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, things get even spicier and a whole lot funnier. Your favorite trio is joined by their fourth bestie for a long awaited bonus segment we’re calling “Natalie Narrates.” With zero context and maximum confidence, Natalie takes a wild stab at predicting the plots of three spicy romance novels, sight unseen. From laugh-out-loud one-liners to surprisingly on point guesses (and some that are way off), this episode is equal parts chaos and comedic gold. Whether you're a seasoned smut reader or just here for the vibes, you won’t want to miss this one. Pour a drink and prepare to cackle because Natalie is about to narrate like no one else can.

    Oh Christ, A Realm.

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, things get extra spicy as the girls dive into Hate by Tate James, a why choose romance packed with angst, alpha males, and some serious slow burn. But don’t let the title fool you, there’s more than just hate in this book, but not everyone on the pod is feeling the love. Tensions rise as the besties clash over toxic tropes, hot villains, and whether the main character is a girlboss or just a mess. Expect strong opinions, spicy scenes, and a whole lot of yelling (mostly from Alycia.) It’s an episode full of passion… in more ways than one! Grab your wine, clutch your pearls, and tune in for this fiery breakdown of a book that’s either a five-star obsession, or a rage read in the making.

    Snacks in the Pantry

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, the girls dive into the deep end with Hexed by Emily McIntire, a dark and spicy Little Mermaid retelling that flips the fairy tale on its head. With sirens, spells, and one morally gray sea witch who can absolutely get it, the besties are unhinged in the best way. They giggle, they thirst, and they revel in how delightfully wrong it feels to turn a childhood classic into full-blown smut, with zero regrets. Let’s just say… this isn’t the Disney version. Content Warning: This episode contains explicit discussion of adult content, spicy romance, and corrupted childhood nostalgia. Listener discretion is advised (especially if you ever had a crush on Prince Eric.)
