“I’m a Clayton, standing in front of an Erin, asking her to explain the tropes to me – or at least that’s how it feels with this lovely and hilarious podcast.
I stopped reading romance in college (now in my 40s) because of snobs and The Patriarchy. My New Years Resolution was to fix past wrongs by reading 5 romances this year. I’m 131 over that now, and sleep deprived, but I refuse to apologize.
I binged books because of this podcast and who led me here, the gals of Fated Mates. Learning the Tropes is a perfect 101 course to get me back into the thick of it, while also snort laughing and nodding along in agreement. Beyond the content for virgins and the veterans that love them, there are excellent book recs, interviews, and chat about the way romance fits into the world we live in (and often want to escape from.) Give this pod a go if that sounds like your jam!
For the record:

Cam > St. Vincent all day, every day, stop me mid-swoon”
