Let’s analyze some smut
During quarantine (parts 1, 2, and onwards) I was on a real reading streak. I’m talking 20+ books a month, just rapidly consuming all the romance I could find. It was lovely except for the fact that I was locked in reading for 10+ hours a day much to the detriment of my dirty laundry, unwashed dishes, and unwalked dog. It wasn’t sustainable. Now thanks to Learning the Tropes, I get to hear about romance books - reminiscing on my favorites and discovering new books - along with the amazing and hilarious commentary of Erin and Clayton while actually being a functioning human being. One thing I didn’t expect was the care and thoughtful insight y’all both put into your analysis of each and every book. Even the books you didn’t necessarily enjoy are treated with respect and you examine not just what you didn’t like, but what might have impacted your reading. I’ve laughed, I’ve evaluated my own reading biases, and I’ve felt wildly validated when my opinions align with yours. Please keep them coming! Y’all have kept me company in the laundromat, on the road, and even during some muted Zoom meetings. Please, by all means, hit me with your car at your earliest convenience! (And for my euphemism contribution: al dente love noodle)

This podcast is absolutely amazing. Learning the Tropes is the first podcast I ever listened to consistently and since then I’ve gone down the romance novel podcast rabbit hole and I couldn’t be happier. Erin & Clayton are hilarious together and their banter is so fun I’ve even gotten my...Read full review »
