Show Notes
Hi Smooches! 2022 is almost out the door, so we’re doing our podcast version of Wrapped. We’re going to reveal our most-read trope, shout out our favorite (and your favorite) episodes, and reminisce about memorable quotes in a game of Who Said It? On the subject of the inspiration for this episode, we do get our own Spotify Wrapped for the podcast. Our little podcast has reached 46 countries this year. It was in the top 10% most shared globally. And we had a 165% increase in listeners. And for 17 of you, we were your number one podcast! Thank you so much for being here and giving us so many reasons to keep showing up and to keep talking about things we love and find comfort in. We are so grateful to you and hope we can keep making stuff that makes you happy in 2023. More sappy stuff to come, but first let’s get into our 2022 Wrapped.

Hi friends! We’re stopping by to drop off a little treat — some books that feel like summer to us. Whether they’re literal beach reads, scandalous soap opera style dramas, or sci fi horror romance with that claustrophobic, sweaty feeling, we’ve got some of everything.
Hi Smooches! Join us in a Hot Tub Time Machine, but where there's no time machine, it's just a hot tub full of bubbling b*tches and smut. It's truly chaotic, but we talk about what we've been reading lately.

Hi Smooches! Happy New Year. Thanks for riding out a weird and wobbly 2024 with us. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just tuning in, Meg and I are grateful for you. Now, we don’t know about you, but we have a pretty good feeling that you’ve been feeling some rage lately. So let’s process that together. We’re recapping the horror rom-com Your Monster, with special guest Deanna. Spoilers ahead!
Hi Smooches! Liz here. On today’s episode, I’m telling Meg about one of my favorite books of the year, definitely in the top 3 and possibly my book of the year. It’s a dark rom-com between a black cat trauma nurse, and a golden retriever thirst trap creator who is more than a little obsessed with her. It’s a book that asks, what if the obsessed stalker hero is actually so babygirl? We’re talking about Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Spoilers ahead. And if you’d like a mood playlist for this book, we made you one!: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7DnobOug3shqCHuPUGDO3x?si=keegKl2CTiaPh-TdgWRS7w
