  • BT044. Lauren Rosewarne: Mutually pleasurable
    Dr Lauren Rosewarne answers some very tricky questions around cultural taboos and popular culture. Why are so many cultural taboos related to normal functions of the female body? Why is there so little masturbation in romance fiction? How do writers balance storytelling and politics -- in particular, how do romance writers manage feminism in the face of competing allegiances?

    Rudi asks why infidelity is such a problematic trope for romance readers, and Lauren talks about how this relates to the disproportionate number of single fathers in Christmas films. We finish off by talking about what Kat considers the final taboo in romance. See if you can guess what that is, and let us know if you agree or disagree!

  • BT041. Danielle Binks: Sex and love and messy relationships
    Danielle Binks talks about Australian young adult novels. We talk about some of our favourite Australian authors who write young adult fiction and romance. (We spend a bit of time on our mutual love for Melina Marchetta's work.) We segue into a discussion about current politics, what feminism means to us, a young adult book that deals with abortion, and how romance fiction deals with politics.
