Welcome to Bodice Riffers, where each week, two romance-loving co-hosts explain the plot of a romantic novel—ranging from sweet Amish love stories to spicy space smut—to their very confused therapist friend. Together, they unravel the tropes, red flags, relationship dynamics, and the surprisingly deep psychology behind the genre's most beloved (and bizarre) beats.

It's part book club, part therapy session, part roast—and fully a love letter to the wild, wonderful world of romance fiction.
