New episode! A historiography of the word "romance," which is older and newer than you might expect! This episode is less about nailing down the "what is a romance?" and is way more about the process of how we got to where we are now.

New episode! Beth and Emma talk about Emma's favorite book of last year: Excellent Women by Barbara Pym! Not a romance novel...and yet? Oft-compared to Jane Austen, Pym's novels concern many of the same questions as romance we love, like what makes a relationship work or fail?

Tom Severin! He sucks, we love him. In this week's episode, Beth and Emma try to figure out just how Lisa Kleypas pulls off making us love a book with a landlord hero. The answer involves extended set-pieces, deft pacing and a third act kidnapping, all Kleypas hallmarks.

Emma spent weeks explaining obscenity law to me while prepping for this episode, and it turned out to be pretty useful for the bar exam so
