In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “Is Dark Romance Allowing a Dark Space?” Using the Sinners and Stardust controversy as a case study, we examine accountability in fandom spaces, consent versus cosplay, and whether increased freedom within romance and dark romance has been misunderstood or misused. This conversation challenges us to hold women to the same ethical standards as men, interrogate harmful behavior without demonizing the genre itself, and ask how communities can protect spaces meant to feel safe. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and non-consensual behavior. Listener discretion is advised. These Subtext Society episodes are designed to be reflective, critical, and grounded— creating space for nuance, responsibility, and care within the bookish community.

We also discuss the episode's many deaths, question what some sorceresses wear into battle and explain why a little child neglect goes a long way when it comes to Leo Bonhart.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to explore some new horizons! We're joined Riley Breckenridge of Thrice, who just released their excellent 12th studio album Horizons/West.

Join us for an explanation of that, plus some talk about the awesomeness of Radiohead, the awfulness of the Los Angeles Angels, a grindcore band formed on a whim, and a bold prediction about St. Louis sports!

We hope you brought your appetite…for drunken discussion! We're back with our first episode of 2026, where we're diving into Season 4's celebration of camping out (both literally and figuratively) and baring your soul over a bowl of fish soup. Accompanied by a bottle of True Story Finished Bourbon, we share some surprisingly strong opinions about the episode's infamous musical interlude, declare our undying love for random nonsense, and explain how while he may no longer drink blood, Regis clearly has no problem drinking Marvel's milkshake. We also debate whether sick = sexy when it comes to Jaskier, formally declare that Milva's the smartest person in the room and actually agree on a Kaer Moron for once. It's a tasty, tantalizing talk about the most mouthwatering episode of the season that's guaranteed to leave you hungry for everything to come. (Note to self: In the future, don't write these episode descriptions before you've had dinner.)

Sometimes a spark is all you need. A twinkle in a tavern window, a reminder that even in a world where the shadows threaten to flood, light can still be found. And when talk turns to chance, it becomes easy to wonder what might happen if you are willing to take the risk. Even if you only have a 10% chance of succeeding, sometimes it is more about the adventure you have along the way.Yet certainty can still feel fragile. A weight too heavy, whispers too sharp, and a hand that refuses to loosen its grip no matter the ask. Strength can feel simple until it is questioned, and harder still when you cannot tell who you need to defend it from.When the time comes, the world might demand a choice. And when life sets two paths in front of you, it can feel like a race to the top. In those moments when you are searching for joy, it's a test of whether you have the strength to climb and the ability to hold on. And while the ride might be bumpy, the corners sharp, and sometimes even a little greasy underfoot, when you make it to the finish line, a little extra movement can go a long way.Natural Six are Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan, and Aoife Wilson.Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/naturalsixJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/HNV56DADnJFollow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/naturalsixFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natural_sixFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natural.sixLove lore?

And he was like, BLEGHGH! IT'S ME! Or rather, it's us! We're back. This week, Emily and V take a look at the ways that Thor: Ragnarok divided the MCU fandom as a controversial entry into the Thor trilogy and, therefore, the MCU Infinity Saga as a whole. Emily was a long-time Thor fangirl when it came out; it was V's second or third MCU movie, ever. How did these different perspectives inform the ways that they enjoyed -- or didn't enjoy -- the movie?  Also, a bit of The Business up-front: we're back, and we're going to quickly burn off the remainder of the 2025 episodes before getting back on track with being "this week" in fandom history later this month. Thank you all so much for your patience in 2025 as we both had a totally horrible year that affected our schedule so much. We love you! LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!
