Amanda Jean and Austin Chant
The Hopeless Romantic
Amanda Jean delights in wrestling manuscripts for her day job, worships at the altar of tropes, and has never met a villain or sexy alien she doesn’t like. Austin Chant writes books about gay magic and toxic masculinity, likes his queer stories with a slice of anguish, and kinda wants to be a pirate. Together, they discuss queer romance fiction and the broader world of queer media.

Super fun to dive into, even months after the last episode was released, even with hardly any familiarity with the genre! Genuinely thoughtful, hilarious, and talented hosts. :)

Fun and informative
Funny and charming co-hosts with great banter share lots of quality queer romance knowledge.

But I am absolutely charmed by these two. I love listening to them talk about queer romance.
