  • Exploring New Realms

    This is a wonderful spin off podcast from the great creators of the long standing Reading Glasses. It is helping me to navigate the genres of romance and erotica in an open and positive manner. Beforehand, I pretty much avoided it due to insipid plots and lack of ‘spice’ and no one else to talk to about this in a meaningful way.

    With the awesome interviews and great reading suggestions I have enjoyed every episode and look forward to more!

  • Always Worth a Listen!

    This podcast has really opened my eyes to the world of smut and expanded my reading! I’m starting to venture out into spicier waters, but even if I don’t read the book they’re discussing, the chats are always interesting and insightful. However, it feels like there really is something out there for everyone and this podcast will help you find it.

  • Love the Show!

    I love listening to you guys! Shout out to the bull moon rising episode, I can very much relate to smudgy glasses cuz every time my husband wants to plant one on me I can’t help but flinch and then see some sort of print on my glasses. I can’t help that I have big adorable glasses. So glad someone relates 🖤🤓👓
