Customer Reviews
brilliant and funny
i was recommended this podcast by a friend as i’m just beginning my interest in romance novels. im only two episodes in but im already so excited to listen to each episode. hosts are so funny and put so much energy and thought into the subject matters. i am learning so much and im looking forward to hearing more episodes. as a trans person i always feel alone in my enjoyment and critical thoughts about romance and it’s nice to know im not alone and also learn so much from the hosts. thank you for this!
