It’s the ninetieth episode of Required Reading With Tom and Stella! This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast, The Batman Universe) is two teachers talking about literature. Each episode, we will be taking a look at a single work, analyzing it, criticizing it and deciding if it’s required reading.

This time around we are taking a break from our usual coverage and talking about romance books; specifially, those that are “spicy”, and yes, “smutty.”

Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of sex as well as foul language.
