    Chapters Gameplay: Love At Stake Episode 10

    We’re back, baby. After a year-long hiatus brought to you by ✨having an actual human child✨, Paul and I have returned to the chaos that is the Chapters app — and apparently distance has NOT made our hearts grow fonder… it has made us angrier. In this episode, we dive back into Love at Stake, where a human girl works at a supernatural dating service and somehow still has to choose between a vampire and a werewolf while enduring peak emotional warfare. Paulelica is once again getting absolutely played by Lucien, the mind games are strong, the dates are questionable, and yes — we are yelling about it like concerned relatives at a family intervention.Same unhinged energy as before. Same ridiculous storyline. Just two sleep-deprived parents who somehow came back even more feral about fictional men.🎧 New episode out now — come scream with us.

    RE-RELEASE: "The Italian's Christmas Housekeeper"

    I'm going back and fixing the audio on some old recordings. This re-release is for our series on "The Italian's Christmas Housekeeper," originally released during December 2023 starring Irish comedians Alex J. Byrne and Keego! Here is the original book description:"Shy housekeeper Molly Millar always tries her best. She’s anxious to impress outrageously wealthy houseguest Salvio de Gennaro, but instead is unfairly criticized by her employer! When she’s found sobbing by Salvio, he comforts her…with the most amazing experience of her life. But when that incredible encounter costs Molly her job, Salvio rescues her with an irresistible proposition: become his temporary housekeeper—just in time for Christmas!"

    Interview with Author Elizabeth Redmond

    I sat down with author/comedian Elizabeth Redmond and discussed her amazing novel, "The Final Resting Place of a Butterfly." I really enjoyed this book; the imagery was palpable and touched upon all of the five senses, it made you feel like you were really there in the midst of the Mexican Revolution. Redmond's novel also deals with themes such as multiculturalism, dealing with narcissistic abuse, generational trauma, and feminism. This book truly pulled on my heartstrings, and I highly advise people to check it out. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bad-book-bash--5889791/support.
