Welcome to Bodice Rippers, a podcast in which we lightheartedly dissect the bad (and often horribly hilarious) themes and tropes found within your average romance novel.
Join us on this literary adventure as we unpack the romance genre’s problematic baggage and dissect it under an intersectional, feminist lens.

Bodice Rippers Episode 17
MORE WINTER FESTIVAL FESTIVITIES as we endure the BRAND NEW Happiest Season - available on Hulu. We are looking at each episode through an intersectional, feminist lens and will be evaluating them to see if they pass the Bechdel test, have heteronormative roles, have diversity in representation, feature an orphan, characterize villains a certain way and contain some of the most commonly seen tropes.

Customer Reviews
Finally, a podcast about the trashy romances I love!
Look, we all have our guilty pleasures, and for me, it’s romance novels, movies, and media. I know many of them are problematic; with outdated views on sex, race, class, and gender roles but the ritual of reading/watching them and sharing with friends is hard to give up.
In comes Bodice Rippers. Danielle and Kim are funny, smart, and seem to genuinely enjoy talking about romance fiction. It feels like I’m just hanging out with friends chatting about the stuff we find interesting. As a proud feminist myself I love the perspective and insight they bring, highlighting the shortcomings of romance media. They're funny and educational without it feeling preachy. That's hard to find in a podcast! Check 'em out.
Love this podcast!
Danielle and Kim are two of the most likable people you’ll ever listen to and their hilarious takes on these kind of romance novels are the perfect antidote to 2020. Plus, it’s fun to read along with them and share in the same frustrations they experience. Thank you for making enduring quarantine just a little bit easier!
