Even if I haven’t read the books I don’t miss the podcast
For years, I’ve had a subscription to the New York Review of Books (bear with me, it’s relevant to this review, promise). I used to read the reviews and pile the books that sounded fascinating onto my TBR (to-be-read) pile. But over time I realized that the reviews captured the gist of the book, sometimes even better than reading the book myself ever could. And now I enjoy the NY Review as like, the cliff notes version of literature and rarely read any of the books after enjoying the reviews. Since I discovered Learning the Tropes, I now have the same kind of resource with respect to romance. That’s right—in my life, Learning the Tropes is to romance what the NY Review is to other books. The hosts are insightful, clever commentators and I enjoy the way they express what they find (or don’t find) compelling in the titles they review. I’ve rarely read the books they feature and though once or twice they’ve enticed me to note a book to find later, for the most part I’m content just to listen to smart, funny people discuss the tropes, structure, and themes of a genre I love. I recommend the podcast all the time! Thanks, Erin and Clayton. ❤️❤️❤️

This is my new favourite podcast. Absolutely has got me back into reading romance novels when I had drifted from the fold. Also I’m falling in love with the sensitive caring male host.
