  • 32: The Undetectables
    Aug 28 2024

    Be gay. Solve crimes. Take naps. In this episode, we dive into Courtney Smyth’s “witty and quirky fantasy murder mystery,” THE UNDETECTABLES. Join us as we celebrate the strong friendships between the main characters, explore the disability representation and its impact on the story, and hear Bella share how their expertise in micro-mobility and transportation equity shaped their interpretation. And Jason? He’s embracing his new title as “Thot With the Thoughts” while breaking down how this mystery stacks up against the greats like Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Plus, don’t miss his shoutout to Australian breakdancing sensation Raygun, who made waves at the 2024 Summer Olympics!

  • 31: The Psychology of Time Travel (w/ Erin Harris)
    Jul 31 2024

    It’s our most “wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey” episode yet! Guest host Erin Harris returns to join Jason and Laura in discussing Kate Mascarenhas’ debut, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TIME TRAVEL. Tune in as we explore this ambitious time travel murder mystery, attempt to untangle the complexities of time travel, and debate if we have what it takes to journey through time. Plus, we tackle the intriguing question on every potential time traveler’s mind: “If you could meet yourself from another period in time, would you hook up with yourself?” This episode is a wild ride that left our brains hurting, but we hope you enjoy it!

  • After Dark: Dark City Omega
    Jun 26 2024

    We’re back with a new set of After Dark episodes, and this one is knot to be missed as we are discussing Emma’s pick—DARK CITY OMEGA by Elizabeth Stephens; a “dark fantasy romance full of [...] omegas with magic and monsters who always get the girl.” Listen in as Emma gives us a rundown of the Omegaverse, we hear Jason’s embarrassing attempt at a brogue accent, and we discuss what sets this A/B/O story apart from others. All that plus we continue our quest to get Barefoot Wine to sponsor our podcast and Laura reveals her pick for our next After Dark book!

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode features discussions of an adult-themed book, contains explicit language, and is intended for mature audiences only. Listener discretion is advised.
