join us for a spooky journey through the pages of Aiden Thomas' spellbinding novel, "Cemetery Boys." in this episode, we dive deep into a world where the living and the dead mingle and schoolyard bad bois can be summoned on whim.
from the allure of sexy ghosts to the vibrant tapestry of young adult fiction, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance, we unpack the rich layers of LGBTQIA+ romance and Latinx representation woven throughout the narrative (including a conspiracy that Yadriel is a watertok influencer). through Yadriel and Julian's love story, we explore the importance of visibility and representation in literature, celebrating the power of diverse storytelling to empower and uplift marginalized voices.
tune in as we unearth the magic of "Cemetery Boys" and celebrate the beauty of love, acceptance, and the power of reading diversely (also the power of keeping your school attendance record squeaky clean).

dearest listeners, it is our greatest pleasure to cordially invite you to join us this autumn for a meeting of the minds of the highest order. this month we hold our teacups with our pinkies out as we drink from the fount of old school barbz, considering the inherent romance of staring and the unyielding burden of having no propriety. while some may shy away from a challenge such as this, we are so bewitched, body and soul, that we have no choice but to share our thoughts of most ardent love with you all. indeed, the time has come for us to read the inspiration for twilight – Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

we took the time to chat a little deeper about the author mona awad and two of her most popular books rouge (you can listen to the talk lit, get hit episode on this one while you’re at it) and bunny (keep an eye on jade’s feed for this). in this episode we discuss MFA writing programs, the occult and of course, the insidious power of a college clique. sounds great, doesn't it bunny? put on your red shoes, slap on your finest snail mucin and join us for our first ever bonus episode!send us questions, things you want us to speak about or just say hi!

ciao, brilliant friends! get ready to talk about translated fiction and dive into the world of Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend”. join us for a whirlwind discussion where we navigate through poorly pronounced Italian words, questionable cover designs, and the magical art of translated fiction.
from dissecting the brilliance of Ann Goldstein's translation to brief mentions of Italian cultural icons like the Lizzie McGuire movie and Stefano from A Series of Unfortunate Events, we're leaving no stone unturned.
can we relate to Lila and Elena's adventures as much as we relate to Lizzie's Roman holiday? let’s find out!
so grab your espresso and channel your inner Italian stallion as we laugh, cry, and discuss all things "My Brilliant Friend."
tune in and let's get lost in translation together!

why did achilles go to therapy? to heel his emotional trauma.
speaking of emotional trauma, our book for historical fiction month is the song of achilles by madeline miller and this episode is a doozy. historians have marvelled at and theorised about the man, the myth, the legend that is achilles for centuries but have never come close to the hot takes we here at talk lit have come up with. risk the wrath of the gods with us as we discuss the lore, the mystery of how to correctly pronounce greek names and why patroclus was so obsessed with feet. (he would have loved onlyfans).

dim the lights and cue the canned laughter because we are live in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… welcome back to season two of talk lit, get hit! this month we continue our fearless pilgrimage of genre and explore the sensual and smoochy category of romance. a book named romantic comedy surely couldn’t lead us astray! right? right??? [audience laughs]. in this episode we explore pressing questions like “what’s the deal with SNL?”, “why can’t comedy writers keep normal working hours?” and “is it morally okay to use someone else’s toothbrush after a hook-up?” lorne michaels himself has* named talk lit, get hit as podcastings answer to amy pohler and tina fey. please welcome, our february episode - romantic comedy, by curtis sittenfeld [audience applauds thunderously].

the traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper. for bella and edward, it’s a teenage engagement, last minute wedding and a scary demon-spawn baby! but for us at talk lit, get hit our gift has been this twilight saga megamix extravaganza. this episode sees us wrapping up our anniversary celebrations with one last episode on breaking dawn by stephenie meyer.
as the sun goes down on 2023 and we prepare for the new dawn to break, tune in (werewolf-groupthink style) to see if sweet baby seth clearwater is enough to absolve the shared trauma of cooking chicken, human moments and renesmee.
we’d love your feedback on the pod! have your say here <3

baby vampires and werewolves and confederates, oh my!
as the moon overshadows the sun, so too does the romantic drama of some boring teenagers overshadow the very real (but very easily squashed) threat of an army of newborn vampires - but hey, that’s twilight, baby!
this episode will have you questioning your status as a particular european nation as we cover eclipse by stephenie meyer for the third instalment of the twilight megamix extravaganza. go on and give the play button more action than bella gets from edward ❤️

It’s a beautiful night, we’re looking for something dumb to do, hey baby, this episode is on new moon~~ that’s right, it’s already episode two of our twilight megamix extravaganza! this episode we do a deep cliff dive on new moon and ponder if a teenager should be trusted with motor mechanics, why bella needs a reality check and are gaslighting and manipulation okay if they’re done to someone you love (spoiler alert: they’re not). this journey is boggling our minds so check your alice love at the door and get your slapping hand ready, listeners, because we’re having hysterics!

picture this: it's raining, it's cold, the sun is going down, and the cullens are miserable because another day is ending. but while twilight might be the saddest time for the cullens, it is a time we have been waiting for longer than bella has been irrevocably in love with edward. this episode kicks off our twilight megamix extravaganza, our two-month long celebration of our first anniversary as a pod! every fortnight until the end of the year we'll be covering a book from the series and we're kicking it off with twilight by stephenie meyer. as edward cullen once said (after a lot less time than this) you, our listeners, are our life now so what better gift to give you than exactly what we have been foreshadowing for a year ❤️
