  • welcome to our latest talk lit, get hit bonus chapter! in this episode we attempt to disentangle our thoughts and feelings on the supposed rise of anti-intellectualism in the literary world. we discuss the modern manifestations of this ancient concept - trope titles, simplistic narratives, audiobooks vs physical books, social media echo chamber driven publishing and a resistance to critical thinking. we discuss the ever-present question - can reading ever, truly be “not political” and what can we do to change our reading and consumption habits?

  • join us for our first shift at the winchester's mansion. this episode we put up a big, fat, "help wanted" sign and sent out a plea for books centred around the perspectives of maids, butlers, groundskeepers, governesses, and any all of the domestic service staff who keep the wheels turning and whose eyes see all... in this episode we discuss nina winchester's iconic morning routine, freida mcfadden's secret identity (it's a wig) and dish out some hot tips on red flags to look for when applying for a job (hint: if someone says "danger" it's a good idea to turn down the job). it's time to polish your earbuds and settle in as we discuss the housemaid by freida mcfadden.

  • over the last few years, our tastes have changed and our minds have been opened to the likes of bride by ali hazlewood and the hating game by sally thorne. this month we are reading the spanish love deception by elena armas. we talk tropes like workplace romance, one bed, enemies to lovers and big man x tiny woman. we also discuss disney adults, male characters as a mirror, Hilary Duff and the cost of baked goods at our local cafes. will this scintillating spanish love fest continue the theme or will it be more of a siesta than a fiesta? special things mentioned in the episode:

  • this episode we are bringing the cringe and chaos of a work christmas party to talk lit, get hit podcast for our annual “talk lit, get lit” drinking and podcasting extravaganza. for our last bonus chapter of the year, we are discussing none other than life and death by Stephenie Meyer. the booktok twilight renaissance continues as we pull apart the literary masterpiece that was promised to be midnight sun but instead ended up as a gender bent twilight reimagining. we drink spiced ginger beers, crunch on pebble ice, clink glasses, demand justice for bella and have lots to say about the stars of the show - beaufort swan and edythe cullen.

  • here comes the Bride - fair, fat and vying for a chance at redeeming Ali Hazelwood in the eyes of Bridget and Laura. coming off the back of our somewhat negative reading experience of The Love Hypothesis, we are back for another slice with Bride by Ali Hazelwood. in this episode we contend with vampire and were customs, Ali Hazelwood's writing process and honing of her craft, rat kings, the dark recesses of Reddit, comparisons to Twilight (naturally) and of course... knotting. join us as we untangle all of the ins and outs of the inter-species, marriage-of-convenience, fantasy romance and try to bestow it with the ultimate rating: lit or shit?

  • hold on tight to your zip lines because we're taking a trip back to the world of divergent for this special throwback/nostalgia episode! in honor of nostalgic november (coined just now, by us), we’re diving into Veronica Roth's iconic dystopian debut, a novel that once had us all choosing between factions and fantasising about fear landscapes.

    in this episode, we’re not just talking about the book — we’re discussing all the literary works that raised us. from tamora pierce and meg cabot to paul jennings and andy griffiths, we lay it all on the table including all of our listener suggestions.

    join us as we revisit the world of dauntless, abnegation, amity, erudite, and candor and explore the highs and lows of YA dystopia, and where divergent stands in the legacy of books like the hunger games and the maze runner.

  • this episode we dive into the immaculately shiny and mirrored world of Sally Thorne's debut novel, The Hating Game. this book won the vote for our Australian fiction month and we are left to answer the question: will the charms of an Australian author be enough to save this book from our better judgement? we talk smurfs, the tiny girl x big man trope, in appropriate office behaviour, weigh in on the Goodreads reviews and Bridget makes an elaborate analogy involving a horse blanket. have we finally found an enemies-to-lovies romance novel to crack open our cold, cynical hearts? or will the hating game end up as just another book we love to hate?

  • in this, our longest episode ever, we call upon strength from our subconsciouses and inner goddesses to do a merengue with some salsa moves thrown in and tackle the mammoth task of discussing fifty shades of grey by e.l. james (aka. snowsqueens icedragon). we once again find ourselves discussing the twilight saga and its associated fan fiction, safe words, the ins and outs of a bdsm lifestyle, the dakota johnson and ellen degeneres "actually, no – that's not the truth, Ellen" moment in history and it's mysterious ties to fifty shades of grey, the importance of reading contracts before signing them.

    fifty shades of grey, fifty shades darker and fifty shades freed took the world by storm. so much so that now, over ten years later, the world still yearns to understand the "what", "how" and most importantly "why" behind the writing and publication of this book. this titillating tale won the listeners' vote and the overall vote for our talk lit, get hit book of the month, covering the genre of smut.

    will fifty shades of grey make our inner goddesses "jump up and down with cheer-leading pom-poms" or leave us distressed, confused and fifty shades of f*cked up.

  • dearest gentle listeners,

    it is with the greatest pleasure that we invite you to revisit the latest chapter of the bridgerton saga in this special episode of our esteemed podcast. in this episode, we peel back the layers of bridgerton season three: part two, and examine its every scandal, intrigue, and triumph.

    we touch on important points such as the success or failure of the promised bridgerton glow-up, colin brigerton's hairline, the cortisol levels of penelope featherington and whether or not we will, indeed, need to fight julia quinn on the beaches of malibu.

    will fate be kind to our perceptions of this once illustrious show, or does destiny hold darker designs? brace yourselves for revelations that could shake society to its core.

    yours in anticipation,
    bridget & laura
