Scotch, Tank and Mandy dive into another round of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” where Scotch and Tank try — and mostly fail — to guess what everyday women’s terms Mandy found and what they actually mean. This week’s words include Morning Shed, Peach Fuzz, Bodice, Doula, Taupe, and Bottle Brush. Tank’s confidence is high, his accuracy is not, and Mandy is once again questioning his life experience. Laugh along as The Wake Up Call proves that sometimes it’s more fun to be confidently wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The main character in Chickasaw writer Danica Nava's debut novel gets into trouble for making some questionable claims about her Chickasaw identity to try and get ahead in the working world. Cherokee citizen Christina Berry writes about an Austin woman's sometimes funny, sometimes heart wrenching desire to start a family. And Karen Kay's historical novel explores an interracial connection on the mid-1800s Great Plains frontier. What each of these books has in common is the quest for true love.

So many readers have got in touch with me since reading The Little Wartime Library to tell me how much they enjoyed reading about libraries in wartime, a facet of history many of us know so little about.When I began to research the novel I realised I knew precious little about the history of librarianship, so I was lucky enough to stumble upon Anne Welsh. Anne has been a librarian for quarter of a century, mostly working in small, special libraries. Although she has held other roles, as a deputy librarian, library manager and as an academic, cataloguing is her abiding passion. The way people make, share and interact with books fascinates her. She also has a brain bursting with knowledge about the history of librarianship and was kind enough to allow me to pick those copious brains.In this conversation we talk about how war broke down the class barrier, the power of the bodice-ripper in the blackout hours, fighting misogyny in the publishing world and how Reading for Victory changed the face of reading for women forever.If you want to immerse yourself in the surprising history of the library then this is the episode for you.

An excellent Friday crossword - not particularly difficult, but filled with some delightful clues. For example, 38A, Country described in "One can't impose unity out of the blue on a country that has 265 different kinds of cheese", France (delicious!); or 10D, Givers of priceless gifts, ORGANDONORS (in retrospect, of course!); and 41A, Bear necessities, DENS (

Everyone is on strike, and the villain of the week isn't the Warner Bros. Discovery CFO who suggested we were freeloading off his services but Drew Barrymore! This week, I'm reviewing the new Hallmark Channel movie Notes of Autumn, which features a gay couple that I've been manifesting on Twitter since 2019; and the Discovery misfire Survive the Raft, which took an interesting idea and ruined it.

The bodice ripper is not only stranger than we suppose, but stranger than we can suppose. (With apologies to JBS Haldane.) This episode, we look at how the bodice ripper emerged, glistening, out of the primordial soup of its various predecessors (Gothics, historical epics, family sagas, and coming-of-age stories) only to beget progeny of its own, which in turn begat many, many more--some of which now bear almost no resemblance to the bodice ripper. CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains discussions of sexual violence. The texts we discuss: The Old School/First Wave: 1972-1984 The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss: The big bad mama who kick-started it all. Also mentioned in the first episode. Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers: Featuring Ginny and Steve, who are not, contrary to what their name suggests, middle-aged swingers from the 1970s. Devil's Embrace by Catherine Coulter: The bodice ripper that scarred all of us. The Black Lyon by Jude Deveraux: Kicked off the epic Montgomery/Taggert series, which encompasses 33 books and counting. Second Wave: 1984-1994 The Windflower by Laura London (Sharon and Tom Curtis): A gentler, kinder bodice ripper! No rape, with misogyny for flavor instead of the main course. Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught: Yes rape, but also: a lot more hero interiority, and a somewhat more gormful heroine. A crucial bridge book; the two that followed (Once and Always and Something Wonderful) were fully in the second wave: no rape, with the hero's point of view getting equal time on-page as the heroine's. Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey: Utterly unmemorable, except for the incredible cover. BONUS: Savage Thunder by Johanna Lindsey, which is also utterly unmemorable except for one Particular Scene, and one Particular Scene only. Not a Bodice Ripper But.... Dangerous Men and Adventurous Women: Romance Writers on the Appeal of Romance, edited by Jayne Ann Krentz: Collection of essays by many of the biggest names in historical romance that collectively talk about the appeal of the genre, the place rape has in it, the roles heroes and heroines play in the reader imagination, and the direction the genre was headed. Responses and Reworkings: 1994-2005 Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase: Inverts every single bodice ripper trope with great glee and verve. Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas: Lots of attempted rape, but...not by the hero? The hero STOPS the rapes? What's going on here? What happened to our bodice rippers?? To Have and to Hold by Patricia Gaffney: It's like Gaffney went, oh. Oh. You want a libertine hero? You want a true rake? Here. I'm gonna give you a rake. I'm going to show you exactly how repulsive and empty yet strangely compelling he is. And the result is stunning and harrowing.

Bodice rippers: what are they? (Spoiler alert: they've mostly disappeared from the romance publishing landscape.) Where did they come from? (It's complicated and messy!) And why should you care? (So many reasons.) Let Candy, Angela, and Molly sweep you away on a rearing stallion and take you on a romp through a landscape filled with cinnabar caverns, feisty ingenues, and the hard-eyed, hard-mouthed men who (claim to) love them. CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains discussions of sexual violence. Some of the texts we mention: The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss: The ur-bodice ripper! Published in 1972. Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers: Another famous bodice ripper, published shortly after The Flame and the Flower. Wuthering Heights by Emile Brontë: Big-R Romantic, but not a small-r romance. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë: Big-R Romantic AND a romance. The Sheik by E.M. Hull: Published in 1919, is widely recognized as one of the first modern romance novels. Devil's Embrace by Catherine Coulter: Bodice ripper published in 1982; infamous for its brutal hero and what he does to the heroine he kidnaps.

Anita Nair is one of India's best known authors, whose books have been translated variously and widely, into many languages and across the world.Anita and Ramjee Chandran talk about literary critics with some funny examples of the acerbic wit that gives a knowledgeable and competent literary critic the right to "biting sarcasm". Anita is candid about her reaction to receiving a bad review.Ramjee talks about what makes Anita Nair special. Her work ethic. Her training as an advertising copywriter and importantly, her sense of romance.To us (Explocity) Anita is not only lovely and charming, but special. She is one of our earliest columnists going back to the late 90s. Her column "The Economical Epicurean" was her earliest effort at writing about food.In this episode, Anita also talks about her mentoring program, "Anita's Attic". Aspiring writers looking to find their muse, and potentially their Mammon, can apply to become one of her pigeons. The next season of Anita's Attic is coming up to roost. This is a good time to apply. Here are all the details: https://anitasattic.com/Anita and Ramjee, friends of decades, are both funny and inspiring in this conversation.  He asks her if, in fact, she is Barbara Cartland. She responds that her study is pink.Anita opens the session with a reading of an excerpt from her book, Alphabet Soup For Lovers.WHAT'S THE WORD - "SEMINAL"Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment titled "What's That Word?", or titled whatever Ramjee decides to call it. They dive into the usage and etymology of the word, "SEMINAL".  And its naughty undertones.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Oh my!  This one gets steamy! That's right, for the first time, Campfire Classics is taking on a romance novel.  And one written by the incomparable Mary Shelley titled simply "The Dream". This episode runs a touch long because all the heaving bosoms got our hosts a little worked up, but along the way they still manage to tackle the usual array of important world issues. What gives you rage? Who the hell is Dan Apollo? And why aren't there more rock songs about pasta? "The Dream" was first published in The Keepsake in 1832. Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. This weeks promo is from Film Rage. Give them a listen, and tell us what makes you rage. So sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

In this week's episode, Liz Solar speaks with opera singer Maren Montalbano about creativity, myths around opera, performing during covid, and the 'bodices' that constrain us all.Maren Montalbano is an opera singer, business coach, and writer, whose voice can be heard on three GRAMMY Award-winning albums. When live performances disappeared during the pandemic, she turned her focus to the online world: writing, producing, and premiering a one-woman show called The Bodice Ripper Project as an interactive digital performance at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. That show, along with the accompanying podcast of the same name, became an exploration of sexuality, feminism, and the journey to self-empowerment through the lens of romance novels. A graduate of Tufts University and New England Conservatory of Music, Maren has sung at Carnegie Hall in NYC, Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, multiple theaters in Europe, and even performed on stage with the Rolling Stones. She is passionate about uplifting and amplifying new and diverse voices in classical music, which has fueled her work as a business coach for musicians. You can read more about Maren’s brilliant career in opera, romance novel writing and The Bodice Ripper podcast at marenmontalbano.com.

The Semi Bookish crew defines the romance genre, how it crosses over into other genres, and why geese everywhere should fear Fabio.  As always, kudos to Kevin MacLeod for his fabulous performance of "Maple Leaf Rag," originally composed by the great Scott Joplin.

Maren continues the story of Seduction's Servant, which was written during a production of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. She also delves into the significance of the bodice as a metaphor for the restrictions society puts on us (and the ones we put on ourselves), and tells a painful personal story about her childhood.TW: childhood trauma, sexual abuse(If you want to skip ahead, Seduction's Servant begins around the 11-minute mark)If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse and need or would like help, visit The Younique Foundation https://youniquefoundation.org/ for resources in your area, or call 800-656-HOPE (4673) for confidential support.Follow Maren on Instagram: @supermarenFacebook: https://facebook.com/maren.montalbanoPurchase Maren's debut book, Pandemic Passion: A COVID-19 novella on Kindle: https://amzn.to/3guGck0Transcript and Show Notes: http://www.bodiceripperproject.com/e004/

  Jonathan Frid is on the cover of "Barnabas Collins," the 1968 Dark Shadows novel by Marilyn Ross, but he's otherwise absent from the book. You might even argue that Barnabas Collins, at least the character you might know from the television show, is also absent from the tale. A vampire bearing that name makes his way through the course of the story but, unguided by Frid's peculiar wounded menace and a staff of writers that understood how to find humanity even in the most inhuman of characters, there's not much in the story will look familiar to fans of the television series.   And that's OK. It might even be a good thing, even if the results are often not that good.   Tie-in properties are so tightly managed today that they rarely ever surprise. There's no place for innovation in stories intentionally designed not to affect the events around it. No matter the level of crisis introduced, we'll find our plucky heroes right back at square one by the end of the story. A Hollywood studio spent $200 million on the next movie in their blockbuster series and they're certainly not going to have their narrative upended by some $5 book.   The rules were different for tie-in proprieties when Dark Shadows hit the airwaves in 1966. Back then, these things were just products to be dumped on shelves, and little thought was given to whether or not they were any good. There were efforts taken to maintain a basic level of continuity (if you did nothing else, you had to at least make sure Spock, Napoleon Solo and Will Robinson's names were all spelled correctly) but after that all bets were off. It's just too difficult to maintain continuity between a monthly comic series and a weekly television series. The people that should have been doing quality control on these products were otherwise occupied, leaving those details to lawyers only concerned with making sure the networks and production companies got paid.   Dark Shadows had the additional complication of being a daily series. Whole characters and storylines would be over before the the next Marilyn Ross novel would hit stands, no matter how quickly they were cranked out. Trying to make these narratives line up was impossible, so Ross didn't even try. Besides, Ross (actually Dan Ross, a one-man gothic romance factory who wrote more than 300 novels under a variety of pen names) couldn't watch the show at his home in Canada, anyway. The end result was a line of books that only occasionally resembled the television series, usually by accident.   The same was true (to various degrees) for the Dark Shadows comics published by Gold Key, the daily newspaper strip and the two feature films, House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows. (Both movies killed off characters that were still appearing on the daily on the television series.) Just to make things even more difficult, the daytime serial even dabbled in parallel timelines, giving fans an almost endless buffet of interpretations.   While I've usually enjoyed seeing how the characters and situations from Dark Shadows might have developed in the hands of other creators, the differences can be quite jarring for even the most hardcore fan. And, if you don't already love the series, you might be less patience with Ross's seat-of-his-pants style of storytelling. He wrote more than 30 Dark Shadows novels in six years, as well as dozens of others during the same time frame. It's unsurprising that he was unable to maintain a continuity with the television series, but he was also unable to keep the facts straight in his own novels. The books frequently contradict each other. "Barnabas Collins" manages the stunning feat of contradicting itself.   This is the situation that Sara and Courtney wandered into with latest installment of the Bodice Tipplers podcast. To say they were confused is an understatement. If you're looking for an explanation for Dark Shadows' appeal, you ain't gonna find it in this book. It was kind of a lose-lose situation for everybody involved, not the least of which was Dan Ross. The novel was likely begun when Barnabas Collins was still intended to be a one-off villain on Dark Shadows in 1967. By the time the book hit the stands in November 1968, the character had become an unlikely pop idol and sex symbol. But the Barnabas Collins depicted in "Barnabas Collins" was a sexual predator with a penchant for grooming young girls into his service, a character that hardly earns the "America's grooviest ghoul" starburst plastered on the back cover. There's little fun to be had here, save for the archaeological kind.   To summarize: "Barnabas Collins" is a novel written by a man using a pseudonym about a television series he didn't watch, showcasing a character that had changed radically between the time the book was started and published, and features a supporting cast of characters that has almost nothing to do with anything seen on the daytime serial.
