This is a chaotic historical romance podcast hosted by confirmed spinsters: Caroline @salty_caroline_reads and Hannah @fringebookreviews. To be quite honest, they should not have been trusted with microphones. New episodes drop on Fridays and every other Tuesday. Hannah and Caroline are not responsible for any pants romanced off of your body and/or any addition to that pile of books just chilling by your bed.
In which Hannah and Caroline interview Eloisa James, celebrate the release of Viscount in Love, and remain, at all times, within six degrees of Taylor Swift, William Shakespeare, and Formula 1.
