Nerdy Romantics Podcast

Y. M. Nelson and guests Staci, Marcie, and Dana tackle YOU, Season 4  for this episode. Usually the "you" in the thriller series on Netflix has been an love interest that main character Joe Goldberg obsesses over, but in season 4, the "you" is someone totally different. 
If you've watched the season (or if you just want to get our take on it), check out what we thought about the way YOU, Season 4 turned out.  THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Some topics we discuss:

• The murder mystery subplot of Season 4
• Johnathan Moore, aka Joe Goldberg – a man out of his element
• Who is Rhys Montrose, and why do we care?
• Is Marianne the one that got away?
• Fight Club
• P^nises (but not the one that matters?)
• Give a Goodreads rating

Y. M. Nelson is joined by fellow author Tati Richardson to discuss her debut romantic comedy, The Build Up. Tati shares with Y. M. how she thought of the premise of this novel, her thoughts on portraying middle-aged relationships, and why it felt like we were really tooling around Atlanta in … a broke-down car?!

Y. M. Nelson and Nerdy Romantics guests Jen and new guest Perry dive into DC superhero Superman as we discuss CW TV Series Superman & Lois, Seasons 1 and 2. We get pretty nerdy as we go in depth on the show's storylines, characters, and culture, especially since Perry is an avid comic book reader and author.

Y. M. Nelson and Nerdy Romantics guests Marcie, Staci, Pam, Dana, and Mary recommend romance reads with plus-sized main characters as the last installment of the “Who Gets An HEA?” miniseries. The mini-series showcases romances with marginalized heroes and heroines, and in episode 24, we feature romance novels by Amy Lea, Olivia Dade, Denise Williams, Kendra Sumter, and Kat Baxter.

Because all of us personally connect to this representation, we also talked about the nomenclature of fat. How do you talk about someone’s weight or body size with positivity and non-judgement? Dana also addressed the frustration with finding books with good fat representation. Do you have recommendations or authors you like who have body positive plus-sized main characters? Contact [email protected] We’d love to feature these books!
