Podcasts that SEEM worth a romance reader’s time

o, I’m going to be super truthful for a minute. I know what you’re thinking: But Jennifer, when are you ever NOT super truthful? (Some people call it “blunt” and “rude”...but I digress…) You’re right...I’m always truthful. But I don’t always admit to the stuff that makes me sound ignorant. And today, I’m admitting that I’m totally ignorant about podcasts. What can I say? I don’t drive much, and I work from home in complete silence. (Seriously, if someone is BREATHING loudly in the house, I’m useless from an efficiency standpoint.)

​But Romance Rehab’s resident Design Dude recently made me aware that while I’m ignorant of stuff like podcasts, y’all out there in Romancelandia probably aren’t. And armed with that info, I did some internet digging and found some podcasts that SEEM like they’d be super interesting for all you tech savvy podcast-y types out there who also enjoy a good romance novel. (I say “seem” because I haven’t checked them all out yet. I’m hoping I can be lazy and maybe y’all can let me know which ones you like? (Please and thanks.) Happy listening! (Note: We threw in a couple selections that aren't specifically about romance novels but we think you'll like them anyway. Plus, it's our list so we can do whatever we want. So...there's that.)
