Sarah Wendell and Amanda are smart, funny Menschot, as are nearly all the writers and others who guest on the podcast. They take brisk and appreciative views of a wide swath of romances and romance paradigms. Sometimes they’re making fun of a cover or a trope— hilariously— but they take each...Read full review »

You would be amazed the crap I’ve learned from this podcast. Huge backlog if you need something to binge on a car trip.

I am currently listening to the back catalog of episodes starting in 2012 and have just reached 2014. The show is tremendous fun, the host is personable and I find it very informative even though I’m not a romance reader.

I listen to this podcast regularly even if I have no plans to read the books under discussion—it’s just that funny and enjoyable. Super thoughtful too with regards to difficult topics.
