livelypsycheClever and interestingI’ve been listening to this podcast for years. Sarah Wendell always has interesting guests, mostly authors but lots of other people too. If you want to know about poisonings, romance novels, book trends, book publishing, and who knows what else (the poisoning episode really stuck in my mind) this is the podcast for you!

wethreeimurasBest Podcast for Romance ReadersSarah Wendell's podcast has been going for 12+ years, and is always the first listen of the week for me. Not only do I get great reading recommendations, but the kind, supportive community of readers, authors and other folks has enriched my life in so many ways. Please listen!

MelodyPrimeSmart, Funny, Nuanced Conversations about Romance and everythingSarah Wendell has been a force in Romancelandia since blogging was shiny and new. She understands the genre, and even more importantly she understands its readers. The pod alternates interesting and hilarious author interviews, both romance related and not*, with content about gaming, cover snark, food, and just any and all the things. Episodes cover the range from serious to absolute WTFery. All of it is approached from a foundation of intense love for the genre in all it's pink and fuscia glory. My favorite part is that she ends every podcast with a terrible joke. It's the best. *Check out the interview with the Author of Laziness Does Not Exist

Mary not PippinReminds me of a night with friends after a couple glasses of wine.If you are a fan of romance, hilarious conversations, gaming, and random discussions about food this podcast is fantastic! Sarah does such a great job of being authentic in her interviews with authors to make it feel like a conversation among friends. When she and Amanda do an episode together it reminds me of slumber parties growing up that have loads of silly conversations and shenanigans. This podcast is great for book recommendations and for giving you that warm feeling you get inside when hanging out with your favorite people.

MiloTWigginsWitty, charming, funny safaris to BonetownSarah Wendell and Amanda are smart, funny Menschot, as are nearly all the writers and others who guest on the podcast. They take brisk and appreciative views of a wide swath of romances and romance paradigms. Sometimes they’re making fun of a cover or a trope— hilariously— but they take each novel seriously, which is courteous and also makes everything funnier. Highly recommended for romance aficionados, newcomers, pop culture scholars, and anyone who’s up for a terrific time. Transcripts follow podcasts after a little gap, a real advantage for those who can’t or prefer not to listen.

stenellalongReady for some funThis is a smart podcast. Sarah and her team put together a quality program. My favorite episode right now is the Deanna Raybourne interview where they discuss Killers Of A Certain Age. The interview covers a range of topics such as why did the author choose the methods of murder she did to the most interesting murder facts. Most the episodes offer insight into the writing process and a chance to know more about the book industry as a whole from authors, publishers, reviewers, to readers.

Grinder MychFantasticI am currently listening to the back catalog of episodes starting in 2012 and have just reached 2014. The show is tremendous fun, the host is personable and I find it very informative even though I’m not a romance reader.
