A deliciously queer romcommy episode is here! Author Susie Dumond returns to chat with us about the 2025 remake of the film The Wedding Banquet in all of its low-key chaotic glory. Then we interview Susie about her brand new novel, Bed and Breakup (available TODAY, June 24th, wherever you get books!). Drop back in on July 8th for our next Bookpisode on El Dorado Drive by Megan Abbott. Then we’ve got another returning guest, Janet Dale, and a brand new guest, Allison Renner, joining us on July 22nd to talk about Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and their new co-authored book of flash fiction and found poetry, Green Light: A Gatsby Cycle!
