Dearest Gentle Listeners,
As the season comes to an end, so does our extended review of Colin Bridgerton's and Penelope Featherington's friends-to-lovers romance.
While we do carry official membership cards for the Nicola Coughlan Perfect Breast Fan Club, we are not sure the complete Polin love story matches the entirety of Nicola's energy. Did the workers at Netflix do enough to make us forget about the worst release schedule ever designed? How loud did we scream at the volume of queerness?
Regardless of the whispers spreading across the ton (Twitter), never forget, that this truly is the home of the #1 investigative Bridgerton podcast...and we will not stop until every character who could be queer, is.
Yours Truly,
Everyone and Their Sister -

This week the sisters, and special guest Ardo, do a deeper dive than ever before into what's going on at Watcher, Try Guys/2nd Try, Dropout, Nebula, Sidemen, and more. With Netflix, Amazon and Disney all in a race to ruin streaming content the most, is there room for all your favourite free channels to be asking for your attention AND your money? Or is the closure of early streamer Roosterteeth a sign of things to come?

Fellow Sisters of the Ton, find the illustrious members of EATS returned to their desks, ready to discuss and review the first course of the third season of Bridgerton, the budding romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, and the many, many, many other scandals sparking this season.
What, we wonder, can be expected of their response? Will we be surprised with a glowing endorsement of the season, a diamond selected from the offerings, or will we find another scathing indictment of corporate industries once again?
There exists only one way to tell dear listeners.... By listening.
This author, for one, cannot wait.

Does a romance novel need to end in a Happily Ever After ™ ? We discuss this hotly debated topic in the romance community, and how we have seen this genre convention played out in our own reading life. We are asking the hard hitting questions:
What does a happily ever after even mean? Is Happy for Now good enough? Can and should romance stay the same as publishing and the world evolves? Does genre really exist or was it a product of marketing?Books mentioned in this episode:
A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole The Wolf and the Wildflower by Stacy Reid Homestead by Claire Kent Much Ado About Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin Audited by the Anubis by Wendi Gough -
Another week, another drama in the book world. This episode we discuss the controversy of author Taylor Barten/Freydis Moon/Jupiter Wyse and their appropriation of Latinx identity to get ahead in publishing. We cover the unravelling of their fake identity and the masterclass Elle Porter has shown in receipt documentation.

In a rare remix, this week we once again dive into special edition based book cover drama. As long as there's no end to publishing cash grabs, we'll still have content! Join us in defence of cover artists as we discuss all the ways companies failed designers, authors, their employees, third-party licensing agreements and more. It's an anti-capitalist break down of the state of books as fast fashion, and we've got loads to say about it. Mainly, don't buy covers you don't like!

Why did we have to go and make things so complicated? This episode we discuss the big issues that are currently causing us inner turmoil, and they are as follows:
Sounds Like a Cult Podcast
Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa
Face Jam from Rooster Teeth
When and why should you stop listening to a podcast? What constitutes a good remake? What does artistic freedom really mean? Do white men with podcasts deserve rights? These are the questions we are asking and as always, not answering.

We are back from the brink and discussing our favourite finds of 2023. Steph once again reaches a new level of nerd with her pick, Blue Eye Samuari. Nat is obsessed with They Cloned Tyrone and perhaps the only person who has seen it? And Cristina is begging for an affiliate link with her love and adoration of Dimension 20.
-
This week Cristina, Nat and Stephanie run through their failed 100th episode idea, and throw in a round up of notable books they read during one specific week this summer. Exciting. It's the perfect time to load up your not-goodreads book tracking alternative (we're fans of The Storygraph personally) and get ready to grow your TBR even more. Join them at the end for a brief chat on how horny teen movies are nowadays (jealous) and a little dash of what we're looking forward to coming up.

This is an episode like no other...in that, we literally talk about our past 99 episodes—where we started, how we got here, why we aren't joyous people anymore, and where we wanna be. Lookin' out for that sponsor or advertiser always. This one is for all our baby gorls and churrrrrls who have stuck with us for the last five years. And if you're new here, well then we're sorry for this reminiscent nonsense, but it will give you a great idea of the episodes to avoid and which ones to prioritize.
The best:
Episode 23: Quantum Entanglement
Episode 25: Are you lost baby girl?
Episode 32: It's the Remix
Episode 35: Cristina Reads Part 1
Episode 42: Pop Culture Conspiracy Hour
Episode 47: The Scandal of the Season - A Bridgerton Review
Episode 51: How to (Maybe) Not Join a Cult with Courtney Summers
Episode 69: Ray Nicholson's Tiddy Fan Club - A Panic Review
Episode 71: Panic Part Deux - Interview with Creator and Writer Lauren Oliver
Episode 72: Panic Round Three - Supple & Uncut
Episode 88: Kanthony - A Bridgerton Season 2 Review
Episode 89: Sorrows & Prayers - A Queen Charlotte of Bridgerton Review -
We go back to our roots while answering the Controversial Book Tag created and popularized by Booktube. We discuss love triangles, flashbacks, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers and of course Adam Driver.
-
This week we definitely haven’t run out of ideas as we dive into the Freakout Tag courtesy of BookTube. Steph talks through her rarely given 5 star reads, Nat chats through the perils of judging a book by it’s cover without reading the description, Cristina looks forward to the latest Chuck Tingle, and every single one of us have massive book disappointments we get into it. Join us for the highs, the lows, and the 10 minute aside about Adam Driver.
-
This week Cristina and Nat use any excuse to pretentiously talk about attending TIFF by forcing Steph to watch The Blackening so we can review it. Normally we’d summarize a little of what we get into here, but actually we just talk about how much we loved it for about 30 minutes, So if you’re reading this now, just go ahead and rent it now, and come back to listen when you’re done, because you’ll also want to just spend some time revelling in how good it really is.

Come join us in our Barbie World! In anticipation of the new Barbie movie, we are talking about books that will get you in the Barbie mood. We are of course talking romance in all genres: paranormal, contemporary, fantasy, and YA. Was Steph completely unhinged in her picks? Let us know, she’s just Steph.

This week we examine the depths of some of the most "we're not sure" television shows to try to understand if they're actually good, or do we just have bad taste? Join us in dissecting Emily In Paris (spoiler alert, this one is just bad), Daisy Jones and The Six, The Endgame (yeah, we've never heard of it either), Evil and The Society. We may never have an answer to the question "Is it actually good?" but we certainly have the opinions to spend an hour talking to ourselves about it.

It's the spiritual sequel to our Wet Hot Erotic Summer, heaux! This week we set out to talk about books we recommend for reading on vacation and our anticipated summer releases, but mostly fail as we devolve into FinDom Grumpy Sunshine Erotica, Monster and Gargoyle Fucking and a solid 15 minutes on the intricacies of magical balloon people's mate-seeking inflatable genitals. It's a slippery slope from light-hearted romcoms to wherever the hell we ended up (begging HarperCollins, Avon and Tor to auto-approve us for ARCs), but we wouldn't have it any other way. Happy reading, listening and soaking, you fiends. Don't forget your sunscreen...and magical lube.

Whether you hated or loved season 3 of Ted Lasso, you probably need to listen in on how we would've rewritten this season like we're scriptwriting experts or something. And we are. We would've made that throuple happen. And that's the only thing that matters. Roy x Keely x Jamie 4ever!
