The Ravishing Podcast!

We are so excited to be back for series 2 and this week we’re (finally) diving into chapters 1-5 of Rivals – the one you’ve all been waiting for

We talk about Alex Hassell (obviously); how much we love the tv adaptation, especially that opening scene; how fun life was in the 80s; and debut a new game for you!

As always, we go off on plenty of tangents, share some strong opinions, and attempt (with varying success) to stay on track.

If you have thoughts (and we know you do), we’d love to hear from you – find us on Instagram & TikTok @theravishingpodcast or email us at [email protected]

Because these books deserve to be talked about.
