Sanjana takes the stand as the self-proclaimed number one age-gap defender, arguing that the trope is really about power, that demanding moral instruction from romance is a fundamentally conservative impulse, and that “reverse age-gap” is not a thing. Then debut novelist Anna Maria Volkova joins to talk about Games, her romance about an economics grad student and a Soviet-born Wall Street banker: why his Russianness specifically matters to the story, the Hollywood villain problem, and what it looks like when a man shaped by political catastrophe becomes romantically persuasive. And: Tyler and Sanjana do a month-in-media check-in that includes both Cancer Ward and Kennedy Ryan. On age gaps: why power is the whole point, when the trope works versus when shock replaces substance, and why the demand for capital-M Moral fiction is more conservative than it sounds. Anna Maria Volkova is the author of Games, a debut romance about desire, grief, and neoliberal capitalism (out June 30). Referenced: Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. The month in reading: Score and Reel by Kennedy Ryan, Long Island Girls by Gabrielle Korn, Pool House by Mary H.K. Choi, In Every Possible Way by Alicia Thompson, The Very Definition of Love by Sophia Benoit, The Paris Match by Kate Clayborn, and Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught.

Olivia Wilde's third film, The Invite, comes to theaters later this week and to mark the occasion, she joins Chloe in the studio. The movie, which is a remake of the Spanish film called The People Upstairs, tells the story of a couple who invite their neighbors over for dinner. Hijinks ensue! She and Chloe began by talking about the confluence of their children and their work. Wilde describes her children as being extremely influential and involved in her work. “They really feel like they have a strong handle on, like, the marketplace,” she laughed.They then dug into both her third directorial work as well as her upcoming role as an artist and dominatrix in Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex. The elephant in the room of that topic was the May-December romance—she plays a woman who becomes involved sexually with a much younger man. When asked if she drew at all from personal experience in the role she explained: “I think that experiencing the double standards firsthand has been fascinating from an anthropological standpoint. And it is so much more egregious than I think I ever really thought. People have such a double standard about what we allow women to do in this world when it comes to romance.”Also on today's episode, Chloe and Chioma chat about Chioma's new newsletter Nnadi by Nature, the Coco Gauff Miu Miu x New Balance collaboration, and the launch of Vogue a la Mode at Morgenstern's ice cream shop in the Lower East Side. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Have you been wondering why your desire for intimacy feels different in midlife marriage?Maybe you love your husband…But emotional connection, physical intimacy, romance, and passion don't feel as natural as they once did.In this episode of Midlife Marriage Makeover, we're talking about the hidden reason intimacy and desire often fade in midlife marriage — and how emotional self-protection, emotional disconnection, stress, resentment, and exhaustion quietly affect physical intimacy in marriage.If you've ever thought:• “Why don't I crave intimacy anymore?”• “Why does sex feel heavy instead of connecting?”• “Why do I feel emotionally shut down?”• “What's wrong with me?”Friend… you are not broken.In this episode, we talk honestly about:• low sex drive in midlife marriage• emotional connection and physical intimacy• rebuilding romance after the empty nest• emotional walls and guarded hearts• Christian marriage encouragement• how emotional safety affects desire• reconnecting emotionally and physically with your husband• and how to rebuild intimacy, affection, passion, and closeness againI'm also sharing personal pieces of my own marriage journey and how God showed me that desire does not grow through pressure, performance, or shame…It grows through emotional safety, openness, tenderness, playfulness, and connection.Friend, this conversation is real, honest, faith-filled, and probably one of the most important topics women silently struggle with in marriage.

Your gut says something is off, but you keep dating them anyway. That's the uncomfortable truth we get into with Anonymous Andrew, a host and storyteller who turned a painful, gaslighting-filled relationship into a deep dive on digital dating, dating apps, and why so many of us repeat the same patterns even when we “should know better.”We talk about what happens when attraction and loneliness collide with codependency, anxious attachment, and the anxious-avoidant loop. We also unpack the culture shift that makes modern dating feels harder than it did years ago, even for people who are tech-savvy and comfortable online.Then we get practical. Romance scams are no longer obvious, and AI-generated profile photos make it easier than ever to fake a person. There's also a surprising overlap between heartbreak and exploitation, including “soulmate” promises that can turn into coercive, pay-to-belong systems.If you're navigating online dating, trying to avoid scammers, or rebuilding your confidence after a toxic relationship, this conversation gives you language, perspective, and a plan.

Romance is alive and filing paperwork. 00:04:01 — Not a Math Podcast: After absolutely butchering percentages, the crew reminds everyone that BLC is not accounting-related. Finally, a disclaimer that feels legally useful. 00:04:45 — Shirtless Men on the White House Lawn: The Freedom 250 becomes America's newest summer tradition: patriotic MMA, fighter jets, and watching grappling from the darkness. 00:06:13 — Kid Rock's Dream America: Fred describes the event's flyover energy as something between Top Gun, Kid Rock, Cobra Kai, and Idiocracy, which is either a warning or a campaign slogan. 00:11:34 — Sports Worm Reports Live: Sports Worm arrives from “Mexico,” insists he is an American worm, and immediately starts making World Cup predictions like someone who found soccer in a cereal box. 00:13:46 — Zamunda Wins the World Cup: Sports Worm picks Zamunda, then Wakanda, proving he may understand fictional geography better than actual soccer. 00:17:39 — USA by Default: Parker picks the United States because of America, while Fred backs Argentina and Messi with slightly more actual sports logic. 00:19:03 — Satan's World Cup Analysis: Satan predicts a U.S. win because the deals have already been made, which is probably still better than most betting podcasts. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

We watched the 2020 film from Max Barbakow, Palm Springs.It's the age old question: if you find yourself stuck in a never-ending time loop, cursed to relive the same day seemingly for eternity, what would you do every day?Sometimes we find it hard to figure out what to do on any given weekend. Forget trying to come up with an activity after your fiftieth year of the same damn day. Poor Nyles.

Episode 2 of "Heated Rivalry" gave us more heat, more emotional complexity, and — honestly — more to dissect than we could cover alone. So this time, I'm joined by three of my favorite urologist colleagues: Dr. Rubin, Dr. Winter, and Dr. Gonzalez. Four urologists, one hockey romance, zero filter. This is the kind of conversation that doesn't happen in medical school, at grand rounds, or really anywhere in organized medicine. Which is exactly why we're having it here. In this episode, we cover:

Well, Alex stretched the B2B gimmick pretty thin for this episode - no, Kurt Fuller did not star in an adult film early in his career - but the important thing is we got THE RUNNING MAN in Contrarians Canon. The better version too (not that Edgar Wright's take offered much competition.) So why did Arnie's failed to connect with the world the way his other 1987 movie, Predator, did? We have theories.

Send us Fan MailGUEST: DR. ERNIE BAKER, author, Marry Wisely, Marry WellThis is Father's Day Weekend and perhaps nothing has been more assaulted in our society than God's design for a godly father shepherding his wife and children. God's model is the only one that leads to harmony in marriage and the home and the raising of a next generation who loves and fears God.How has God's design for fathers been undermined and resisted? In many ways:– Fatherly authority in the home is slandered as misogynistic and toxic.– Culture, peers, education, social media, and entertainment endlessly promote sexual immorality, gender confusion, and “self-actualization” (i.e. live for self, not for God and others).– Even evangelical churches, including schools and camps, delay the transition from boyhood to manhood through emphasizing amusement over maturity.It's no wonder boys grow up drifting, without God's vision for life, marriage, and fatherhood, lacking work ethic, distracted by video games and entertainment, and thus unprepared and even uninformed about God's design for their lives.This is part of the reason we held The Overcomer Course the past two years—to help young adults understand and pursue God's call on the most important issues of life. We aren't holding the two-day Course this year due to managing workload but we wanted to devote a program to the importance of “Preparing Boys for Marriage and Fatherhood.”Helping us do that is our guest, Dr. Ernie Baker. Ernie is the Chair of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling at The Master's University and the author of several books, including one we will discuss, Marry Wisely, Marry Well. Ernie is also the featured speaker at the upcoming “Wisdom, Romance & the Single Years Conference” on Aug. 21-22 at Anchor Bible Church in Plymouth, MN which is designed for those in their 20s and late teens. Preview and register for the conference here.Also, in the final segment, we'll hear from my late father back in 2019 when he spoke some words of exhortation to his children and grandchildren.

In the new novel They All Fall in Love at the End, polyamory is the topic at hand — primarily what it offers the protagonist and how she navigates a world where open relationships are not the norm. The End of Romance tells a story quite the opposite: A woman becomes opposed to romance altogether after leaving an abusive marriage. Today's episode features conversations with the authors of both books. First, Haili Blassingame discusses They All Fall in Love at the End with NPR's Juana Summers. Then, Lily Meyer joins NPR's Elissa Nadworny for a conversation about The End of Romance and its exploration of the “anti-romance” plot.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Romance scams, deepfakes, Medicare fraud: Professor David Maimon explains how organized the crooks have gotten, and how to stop being low-hanging fruit.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1346What We Discuss with Dr. David Maimon:Why fraud stopped being a guy in a hoodie. It's a full industry with a supply chain, where identity thieves, forgers, account openers, and launderers each run a specialty. David explains how consumers reported $12.5 billion in losses last year, and that's just the part people admitted to.How the dark web turned crime into a self-serve buffet. Stolen identities run $7 to $10, a license, ID, and passport bundle goes for $150, and compromised bank accounts ship with money-back guarantees. Getting there is as easy as pasting a URL from Google into the Tor browser.What AI quietly changed about the whole game. Fake faces, cloned voices, deepfake documents, and synthetic identities built from scratch have collapsed the cost of looking legit. David warns that agentic AI can now open accounts and build a paper trail around a person who never existed.Why you're not getting hacked so much as played. The con shifted from cracking passwords to working people. Romance scammers hunt for high credit scores and home equity, coaxing victims into opening accounts and draining their own loans, while kids get blackmailed into laundering stolen checks.How slowing down quietly beats the scammers. David's best defense costs nothing. Pause before clicking, verify through a separate channel, and treat urgency as the red flag it is. Freeze your credit and your kids', add identity protection, and check your statements as often as the crooks do.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Bestselling author Carley Fortune joins Jenna to discuss her unexpected path from journalism to writing Every Summer After and some of the most talked-about books of the decade. Carley shares how place, nostalgia and great love stories shape her books. She also opens up about upcoming screen adaptations, romance tropes, BookTok, mental health and why it's never too late to rediscover your passion. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Let’s dive into the BookTok discourse, shall we? Specifically, how algorithms work and why dismissing the community tends to say more about the dismisser than the community. Then debut romance novelist (and longtime cookbook author) Julia Turshen joins to talk about her 831 Stories novella Down to Earth, why food is the fastest way to put a reader in a room, the formula that cookbooks and romance novels quietly share, and what it means to write competency porn about a lesbian farmer without realizing that's what you're doing. And: Sanjana and Tyler each pitch a queer romance recommendation…and somehow both pick historicals. On BookTok: why thinking of it as a monolith is lazy, how algorithms reflect what you engage with (and not objective taste), and the misogyny baked into most think pieces about genre fiction. Julia Turshen is the author of numerous cookbooks including Small Victories and Simply Julia, and her debut sapphic romance, Down to Earth, is out this month from 831 Stories. Referenced: “I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America” by Caity Weaver. The queer romance recommendations: Tyler picks An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera, and Sanjana picks The Companion by E.E. Ottoman. Honorable mentions: You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi and The Pairing by Casey McQuiston. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Romance novels—especially historical romance novels—thrive on heroes and heroines who don't match in terms of social class. There must be conflict, after all, or the novel would end before it began. But not even George Bernard Shaw's mismatched couple in Pygmalion (later My Fair Lady) can claim quite as much distance as Shana Galen's Tamsin Archer and the Honourable Garret Kildare, the main characters in A Shop Girl's Guide to Wooing a Lord (Berkley, 2026). Tamsin's once comfortable if never opulent life took a sharp downward turn when a Royal Navy press gang hauled her father off to unwanted service on a seagoing vessel, service from which he never returned. By 1813, when we meet her at age twenty-three, she's doing her best to support her injured mother and two much younger siblings by selling flowers in the street. A young man named Garret speaks kindly to her and pays her a shilling when she's expecting far less, and as a result she remembers him fondly, but it's not until two years later that she meets him again. By then, a chimney sweep has taken her younger siblings and holds them hostage to payments she can never make and that he might not honor even if she did. She's desperate to get them back. In 1815, Garret's life also makes a dramatic turn. His father, the Earl of Glenister, announces that the family has run out of money and must sell its ancestral lands in Ireland. Not exactly poverty, especially by Tamsin's standards, but still uncomfortable. Garret and his three brothers—Liam, Killian, and Daire—make a bet that one of them will secure the hand of an heiress, thus sparing their younger sister, Mariah, from having to marry an elderly and decrepit duke. But as Garret sets out to woo his heiress, he encounters Tamsin somewhere she's not supposed to be … Shana Galen, a former English teacher, has written more than fifty romances. A Shop Girl's Guide to Wooing a Lord, first in her The Heiress Hunters series, is the latest. Find out more about her and her books here. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels, including one co-written with P.K. Adams. Her next book, Song of the Silk Weaver, will appear in the summer or fall of 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.

Men and women process feelings in different ways, and as partners we need to learn how to leverage these differences.What I thought I knew about being a good husband turned out to be the thing keeping my wife from feeling close to me. John Gray wrote Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, which sold over 50 million copies in 45 languages, and he's been counseling couples for 45 years. So when he talks about why modern relationships keep breaking down, I listen.This is our fourth conversation, and it's the one where the biology finally clicked for me.We get into why a woman's stress hormones move in the opposite direction of men, why "happy wife, happy life" is real but "happy husband, happy life" isn't a phrase for a reason, and the 10-minute tool that changed my life.
