The Inner Circle Podcast

In this week’s episode of The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia are looking back on a massive year of reading and getting excited for everything waiting on their 2026 TBRs. From surprise five-star reads to total let-downs, they break down what defined their 2025 reading year. Whether you’re a romantasy lover, a mood reader, or someone with a TBR that never stops growing, this episode will leave you inspired to reflect on your own reading year and ready to build your 2026 reading list.

This week on The Inner Circle, Georgie and Adalia throw all logic, morals, and self respect out the window for the most unhinged Kiss, Marry, Kill the romantasy world has to offer.

We’re talking impossible choices, morally grey men, and situations that feel less like a game and more like a personality test. From cursed favourites to characters we hate that somehow still make the list, nothing is off limits. Yes, even the ones that should be.

This episode is chaotic, controversial, and guaranteed to start arguments in the group chat. Play along, judge us silently (or loudly), and be warned — your answers may expose you more than you’re ready for.

This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia are putting the book community on trial. We’re diving into Bookish AITA, real reader confessions that have us asking: am I the asshole… or is this completely justified in reader culture?

From borrowing disasters to annotation debates and book club betrayals, we’re judging the most relatable (and controversial) bookish behaviour... because someone has to!

This week, Georgie gets to interrogate Adalia about The Powerless Series.. In true Inner Circle fashion, we keep everything completely spoiler-free, making this the perfect episode for readers who are curious about the hype or debating whether to dive in.

Adalia gives her honest, chaotic, heartfelt rundown while avoiding every major plot detail — think vibes, tropes, tension levels, and overall experience without ruining a single twist.

Whether you’ve read the series, you’re halfway through, or you’re deciding if this becomes your next romantasy binge, this episode is your safe, spoiler-free guide to everything Powerless.

Grab a warm drink, get settled in, and join us in the Inner Circle.

This week, we’re diving into Vogue’s viral article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” and unpacking why the internet is suddenly allergic to “boyfriend content.” We took the question to our stories, collected your unfiltered opinions, and brought them straight into the episode.

From cultural shifts to romantasy-level standards, we also break down how fiction influences our dating lives, what we now refuse to settle for, and why book boyfriends might be responsible for our collective delusion (in the best way).

Grab a warm drink, get cosy, and step into the Inner Circle

This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia finally dive into the most controversial male in the Maasiverse: Tamlin of the Spring Court. Is he misunderstood? Manipulated? Straight-up toxic? Or the most tragic character Sarah J. Maas has ever written?

We unpack his journey from charming High Lord to oppressive partner, from grieving trauma response to dangerous rage, and how much of Tamlin’s downfall is his personality versus the system he was raised in. Is he a product of centuries of isolation? Does trauma excuse his behaviour? Or was every red flag waving from the start?

This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia dive into the ACOTAR hot takes you sent in…everything from character opinions to relationship debates to the moments people just can’t agree on.

We unpack Feyre as a main character: the choices she makes, and how her journey is interpreted so differently across the fandom. We discuss the dynamics of Feyre and Rhys’s relationship, the nuance behind it, and the hot takes that you sent in.

And of course… it wouldn’t be an ACOTAR episode without touching on the Tamlin discourse. Some of your takes were thoughtful, and some were surprisingly fair…so we break down the angles, the reasoning, and where we personally land.

This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia dive into the question every romantasy reader secretly asks: how does reading about epic, all-consuming love stories actually affect our dating lives? From heightened standards to unexpected self-awareness, they unpack how these books have shaped their views on love, intimacy, and what we now refuse to settle for.

We also asked our listeners to share their experiences — and the answers did not disappoint. From breakups sparked by the realization that “bare minimum” isn’t romance, to couples reigniting their spark after a well-timed Nesta and Cassianroleplay, we explore how romantasy is reshaping modern relationships. Turns out, the bar isn’t unrealistically high… it’s just finally where it belongs.

So grab a warm drink, get settled in, and join us for a conversation that proves maybe... just maybe, expecting magic isn’t so unrealistic after all!

We’re back, baby! The Inner Circle Podcast returns for Season Two with Georgie and Adalia catching up after the break.

Then we dive straight into the concept that has romantasy readers (and us) in a chokehold: fated mates. But what does that look like in real life? We unpack the idea of the invisible string theory, the belief that certain souls are destined to cross paths. Then we share our own eerie experiences of invisible strings and spicy dreams that somehow came true.

It’s part catch-up, part deep chat about fate, connection, and whether the universe really does pull a few strings.

In this episode, of the Inner Circle Podcast we dive deep into the fiery, polarising character of Nesta Archeron from Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, especially her journey in A Court of Silver Flames.

Few characters have sparked as much debate in the BookTok community as Nesta. Is she an unapologetic icon of female rage and growth, or an irredeemable character whose actions cross too many lines? We’ll explore her complicated relationships with Feyre, Cassian, and the Inner Circle, unpack key moments of her arc, and discuss why readers either fiercely defend her or can’t stand her.

This is one debate you don’t want to miss. So grab your headphones and join the conversation!
