Halloween Is For The (Sexy) Birds
Bodice Riffers Podcast
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! Wherein we discuss Hunting Season by Shelly Laurenston. The corvid-winged minions of two Nordic gods rain vengeance upon the deserving, but mostly the two main characters trade witticisms between vigorous sexual marathons - and we are not mad about it. (Okay, Annie's a little mad about it.)

No Half-Assed Minotaur Handjobs
Bodice Riffers Podcast
We discuss "Morning Glory Milking Farm" by C.M. Nacosta. What does late-stage capitalism have to do with minotaur spunk? This wild ride ranges from the perils of student debt to surprisingly educational phallic pastry. Oh, and Maude will never see milk bottles the same way again.

Just Lie Back and Think Of The Bank Account
Bodice Riffers Podcast
Wherein we discuss Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas - book one in her Wallflowers series of historical romance novels. Maude shares the sweet origins of her love for the genre, and we explore tropes galore, the problematic mores of Victorian high society, and one character's hysterically bad attempt to prepare her daughter for the wedding night. Oh, and we get a character's name wrong for almost the entire episode. (It's Westcliff, not Westfield. Sorry Lisa!)

The Smuttiest Smut that Ever Smutted
Bodice Riffers Podcast
Wherein we discuss Kiss of the Basilisk (A Split or Swallow novel) by Lindsay Straube. Uninhibited and unhinged - and for once, we don't just mean your hosts. Not for the faint of heart, this journey can best be described as a sexual acid trip where The Bachelor collides with monster porn, and even the therapist can't process the experience. Buckle up, kids!

(Yes, please do call us good girls and tell us how well we take that ink.)
