Episode 11: Welcome to Season 2

Episode 11: Welcome to Season 2

First Official podcast of the new year! Bron and Ali are excited to kick off the new season and are back at it with all new book challenges. In this episode, the siblings recap the hyper-fixations they indulged in over the hiatus. Fresh off a Netflix and Disney Plus bender we are ready for our next book assignments. Ali plays Left 4 Dead 2 and Among Us for the first time (spoiler alert: She sucks at both). How can both siblings love gay fiction but also not like the others gay fiction? As typically happens when we don't have set talking points, this episode is fairly chaotic. If you that is your jam then you will love our Patreon episodes. We are so excited to be jumping into our second season. Make sure you follow all our socials and join the Pants Pending Discord if you want to hang out with us! Listen all the way to end for bloopers and what happens behind the scenes.

Ali and Bron do their first live panel and podcast for the mini-convention Sandemonium!

It's pretty chaotic as it usually is when Bron and I don't have an agenda, but that is what makes it so wonderful. The giveaway mentioned in the episode is now closed. It is not sponsored by Anchor or Facebook, and was the sole responsibility of Trading Pages Podcast.

Episode 8: MIDNIGHT SUN

Episode 8: MIDNIGHT SUN

Trigger Warning for mentions of blood, vampire sex and kissing, family death, suicide, and grief.

We laugh. We cry. We talk about sexy vampires. 

Bronwyn is bad at trolling, you can hear Ali's dogs barking, get paid to Homestuck, Edward is a bottom, killing your soulmate, Big Dick Energy, Emmet is a Himbo, using vampires as therapy tools, and a surprise guest appearance!

Ali SUCKS at names so a correction for this episode is that author Alexa Riley is made up of  writing duo Lea Robinson and Melissa King. Thank you again to Lea Robinson for inviting Ali on your live Read Me Romance Book Club for A Court of Thorns and Roses. You are F*cking amazing.

Episode 7: Cinder & The Manual of Detection

Episode 7: Cinder & The Manual of Detection

Is this Inception? That's "Nazi Shit". Gifting Cyborg arms. What's a Cyber punk? Our mom shows up for everything we do, even if it's not super-duper her thing.

In this episode we hear Bronwyn's opinions on plagues, cyborgs, and baby droids with her reading of Cinder by Melissa Meyer. Ali still is very confused about surrealism and imaginative fiction, but she is trying to vibe with it with her assigned reading of The Manual of Detection by Jedediah Berry.

Episode 5: Hot Head & Durarara!!!

Episode 5: Hot Head & Durarara!!!

This episode we talk about the steamy, adult romance with firefighters "Hot Head" by Damon Suede and the light novel about who knows what with a made up name "Durarara!!!" by Ryohgo Narita. Topics that came this week: Scuba diving is scary. Meow meow romance. What IS porn? How do you pronounce Izaya. Ali didn't mean "Blindspotting" (It was Crash). Our longest episode to date while we use our fancy new recording system, and we did not get kicked offline by passing trains. Stick around after the credits for bloopers!

Episode 2: No. 6 & The Raging Ones

Episode 2: No. 6 & The Raging Ones

Ali and Bron discuss the mystery and apocalyptic hellscape of Tik Tok, favorite beverages to drink while reading romance, and of course, why the hell are there so many characters in manga. This week features the manga No. 6 by Atsuko Asano and Hinoki Kino and The Raging Ones by Krista and Becca Ritchie. Spoilers abound so make sure that you read these ones before listening if you don't want to be spoiled.  There is a lot of swearing in this one folks, but to be fair, Ali was very confused. Stay tuned to the very end for Marvel-esque bonus content.

Ep 1: Let's Get Textual & I Crawl Through It

Ep 1: Let's Get Textual & I Crawl Through It

Ali has an existential crisis and Bronwyn finds a Happily Ever After. It goes without saying there are spoilers for both books. If you haven't read them, you've been warned! There are brief mentions of trauma and mental health. Let's Get Textual is a Romantic Comedy by Teagan Hunter. I Crawl Through It is a surrealistic coming of age story by A.S. King.

Trading Pages Pilot episode

Trading Pages Pilot episode

Bronwyn and Ali talk about the inspiration behind their new podcast. They discuss their differences in literary taste and tease their book assignments. We dive pretty deep into romance tropes and teaching Ali how the hell to read Manga because she has no clue (Black Butler by Yana Taboso). Correction to the episode: The book with a hot librarian Ali mentions is Stud in the Stacks by Pippa Grant. Also mentioned is author Tijan, Zoraida Cordova (Zoey Castile), A.S. King, and Teagan Hunter.
