    Everything In Conversation: Dark Romance

    Hello QTS, we're back with a not very cute subject, let's go to the dark side... Last week we read a piece on Substack called “We Have To Talk about Dark Romance” by Stella Tate, in which she grapples with a problematic literary genre. Dark romance, for anyone not aware, is a subgenre of romance literature, that features characters, relationships and dynamics that are typically taboo in other genres, often involving violence, obsession, stalking, emotional abuse and sexual assault. Basically the romantic heroes of these stories would often be the clear villain in any other story. And as Stella writes: “from the perspective of a highly non-judgmental book lover (or at least that’s who i aim to be), dark romance is mainly a romance that takes the shape of a horror story, or possibly a horrific tale dressed up as a romance. dark romance is a genre bender, with elements of romance and horror, not always in equal parts… dark romance doesn’t seem to be one thing or another; instead, it seems to me like a wide spectrum, where you can find all 50 shades of grey and more, from the lighter vampire love stories to the harder to swallow stalker romances with sexual abuse and all sorts of triggering content.”  We delve in! We Have To Talk About Dark Romance Thanks so much for all of your takes and comments on this topic, we love being in conversation with you all! O,R,B xx Hosted on Acast.

    Ozempic Menus, London's Real Housewives & (eek!) Taylor Swift

    TGIF from EIC! Let's just get into it, shall we? The first episode of Real Housewives of London aired this week and so of course, we're discussing it. What do we make of the franchise's latest crop of rich, glamorous and fiery women? Could this series hold a candle to earlier iterations or are British sensibilities too... sensible? Up next, the potential impact of weight loss drugs on restaurants and hospitality. Is fine dining falling victim to shrinking appetites and growing disinterest in food as a result of wider use of GLP-1s? We also discuss the upcoming Mounjoro price hike. Finally, we're risking it all and talking about Taylor Swift. Last week we learnt that the high empress of pop was releasing her 12th album The Life of a Showgirl. While some fans are a little confused/fatigued, we actually might be the most on board we've ever been. Pleeease could you vote for us in the British Podcast Awards Listener’s Choice category here? We’re in the top 20 and it would make our year if made the shortlist! (and a cheeky review on your podcast player app?) In partnership with Cue Podcasts. ----- Beth has been loving Girls by Kirsty Capes, Oenone has been loving Twelfth Night or What You Will, Ruchira has been loving Crashing (although perhaps slightly less after finding out there's only one series). Click here for tickets to Women of Fiction, an in conversation event with Beth McColl x Kirsty Capes & Ella Berman. What is teeth-gate?
