Delightful, the hosts keep it real
Started listening recently. Every romance reader or romance-curious reader should check out this podcast. What I like about it: (1) Erin and Clayton are not afraid to talk about what they don’t like. Another romance podcast I enjoy keeps it always positive and I get why, but it’s refreshing and useful to hear E & C be honestly critical. (2) They’re pretty funny. Clayton in particular has a quick wit. Also I picture him looking like Ryan Reynolds, so don’t burst my bubble. (3) I enjoy their systematic approach to discussing a book by talking about the cover, then the plot and characters (the usual book dissection) and ending with “Would you **** them?” and whether the book belongs on the Goodreads lists that it’s on.
