    E03: Happy to Hate You

    E03: Happy to Hate You

    Hater’s Anthem by Infinity Song

    I love the way it feels to be a hater

    Something so sweet about thinking that I'm better

    Just to wake up every morning

    Lay in bed and somehow never, ever rise to the occasion

    Or even hold up under pressure

    But we all know that it doesn't even matter

    If I waste away and no one thinks I'm clever

    Just as long I've got my ego

    And it tells me I'm superior

    I could probably go a lifetime

    Being barely mediocre

    I'd still convince myself every time that I'm better

Dylan The Gay ,

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!
