Janine Between the Lines: literature & lifestyle for leisure

The host is back from the dead with some words about a fella who technically wasn’t able to die. Listen along as she goes over the quotes that made her a little bit riled. Go check out The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, and go pick up Salem’s Lot by Stephen King to be prepared for the next book series, if you dare!

A quick hello & announcement from the host as she tried to sort out her life appropriately. Thank you for staying tuned and for your continued support of the podcast!

The host has the opportunity to record a laidback OTT with one of her two siblings, Joseph Jimenez. The two try their hand at a 99 question sibling tag that may or may not be a huge waste of time... but an entertaining one, nonetheless.

In the second installment of this month's We The Animals series, the host happily introduces her second esteemed guest to the podcast! Roxanne Lim (the beautiful New York native who is slowly taking over the world, one project at a time) discusses her experiences regarding Spam, the warped fetishization of queer relationships in mainstream media, and an in depth reflection on her trials and triumphs in an abusive relationship.

The host begins her discussion of Justin Torres' We The Animals! Tune in for mildly enticing talks about being the youngest sibling, growing up a minority, and whether or not procreation is the best thing for anyone at this moment in time. If you enjoyed this episode, follow the host for the next installment covering Chapters 7 through 14 as she brings on a new and exciting special guest. Reading is fun, everyone.

Today's Off Topic Time starts with the graduation story we lost to the virtual galaxy that is the world wide web, the host's goals and aspirations for the rest of the year, and some plans for the future of the podcast. Listen in for more nonsense and a few musical favorites, as well. 🗣 JOIN THE HOST AND OTHER LISTENERS IN READING & DISCUSSING WE THE ANIMALS BY JUSTIN TORRES. FIRST EPISODE ABOUT THE FIRST SIX CHAPTERS DROPS WEDNESDAY, 09/12/2018! 🗣 Lots of meaningful and sexy discussions about the novel to come as we begin this new bookventure during the month of September.

The host concludes this literary classic with allergy-induced snifflies and emotionally charged talks about dealing with your first love, perfecting your craft, and coming to terms with certain instances of loss and defeat. Coupled with a few listener rebuttals and responses, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

A special kind of episode new to Janine Between The Lines... the first ever OTT (Off Topic Times) of the series! The host takes on topics such as how it feels to be a college graduate, things that irk her, and exciting, secretive podcast plans with a special, beautiful guest.

The first dive into literature discussing portrayals of feminism and the transformation of gender roles in this 1868 classic. What can this seemingly boring summer reading novel teach us in a society that rejects tradition and "outdated" ways of living and learning? A question the host asks, as she steels herself to tackle this book with eyes, mind, and heart open and afresh.

As the pilot episode, Janine provides an introduction and inspirations behind the podcast start up, what to expect, random ramblings, and some very interesting facts about herself.
