Season 2 Ep 1: The Invisible String Theory, Spicy Dreams & the Universe

We’re back, baby! The Inner Circle Podcast returns for Season Two with Georgie and Adalia catching up after the break. Then we dive straight into the concept that has romantasy readers (and us) in a chokehold: fated mates. But what does that look like in real life? We unpack the idea of the invisible string theory, the belief that certain souls are destined to cross paths. Then we share our own eerie experiences of invisible strings and spicy dreams that somehow came true. It’s part catch-up, part deep chat about fate, connection, and whether the universe really does pull a few strings.

Season 1

Episode 26: The Nesta Controversy

In this episode, of the Inner Circle Podcast we dive deep into the fiery, polarising character of Nesta Archeron from Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, especially her journey in A Court of Silver Flames. Few characters have sparked as much debate in the BookTok community as Nesta. Is she an unapologetic icon of female rage and growth, or an irredeemable character whose actions cross too many lines? We’ll explore her complicated relationships with Feyre, Cassian, and the Inner Circle, unpack key moments of her arc, and discuss why readers either fiercely defend her or can’t stand her. This is one debate you don’t want to miss. So grab your headphones and join the conversation!

Episode 25: Can Guys and Girls Be Just Friends? + Feminism in Romantasy and IRL

This week Georgie and Adalia spiral (as usual) into the age-old question: can girls and guys ever really just be friends? Based on many awkward real-life stories… But because we can’t stay on one track, we also dive into female empowerment in Romantasy books and how everyday women practice microfeminism! Expect chaotic tangents, LOTS of laughs, random storytimes, and maybe a little too much honesty. Grab a snack, settle in, and join us for another episode of unfiltered friendship, bookish chaos, and bookish feminism.

Episode 24: SJM Maasiverse Book Rating (Georgie's edition)

In this episode, Georgie dives headfirst into the world of Sarah J. Maas and gives her unfiltered ratings of every book across the Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City series. From characters we’d sell our souls for to plot twists that had us screaming into the void, nothing is off-limits. Expect hot takes, bookish banter, and maybe a little heartbreak as Georgie puts the SJM universe under her microscope. Whether you’re here to fight for your favorite book or just revel in the chaos of rankings, this episode is for you.

Episode 23: What Would Fourth Wing Characters Do IRL?!

You loved our ACOTAR version, so we’re taking it up a notch! This week, we are diving into Fourth Wing territory, imagining what these fiery main characters would actually do if they were living in our world. Where would they work? What kind of houses and cars would they have? And most importantly - would Xaden and Violet actually end up together? We’re unpacking personalities, power moves, and chaotic choices as we picture our favorite dragon riders navigating the modern world. Expect laughs, wild theories, and maybe a little heart-eyed shipping along the way.

Episode 22: Why BookTok is Obsessed with Azriel

This week, we’re diving deep into one of BookTok’s biggest obsessions: Azriel. With his brooding silence, shadows, and just a handful of lines throughout the series, you’d think he wouldn’t dominate the fandom quite so much but somehow, he does. Join us as we unpack why readers can’t get enough of him, how mystery makes him magnetic, and whether the hype matches what we actually see on the page. We’ll explore fan theories, romantic ships, and that elusive allure that keeps the fandom hooked on the quietest member of the Inner Circle.

Episode 21: Bookish Hot Takes

This week, Georgie and Adalia are turning up the heat with a sizzling round of bookish hot takes! From unpopular opinions that might get us canceled at book club, to the spicy reader confessions you sent in, we’re breaking down the biggest debates in the reading world. We’ll be sharing your hot takes alongside our own—some we completely agree with, and others… well, let’s just say you might hear a little friendly chaos from us this week. Grab your drink, settle in, and get ready to laugh as we dive into the most controversial corners of the bookish universe.

Episode 20: The Maasiverse Theory

In this week’s Inner Circle episode, Georgie and Adalia dive headfirst into the Sarah J. Maas multiverse AKA the “Maasiverse.” Whether you first fell in love with Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, or Crescent City, the evidence is mounting that these series are far more connected than they appear. We unpack the biggest clues and crossover theories, from ancient magical artifacts like the Cauldron, Wyrdkeys, and the Horn, to recurring symbols like the three interlocking circles and eight-pointed stars. We also explore striking parallels between characters and courts across worlds, including the possibility that the Valg, the Asteri, and the Daglan are different faces of the same dark force. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and settle in, this is one Maasiverse deep dive you won’t want to miss!

Episode 19: Lets be Delusional!

In this week’s episode of The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgina and Adalia kick things off with Theory of the Week, diving into some of your favourite (and wildest) fan theories from the biggest romantasy books. Then, we get personal, chatting about the harmless (and sometimes hilarious) things people admit to doing while deep in a phantom obsession. To round it out, we confess our own delightfully delusional thoughts about our book boyfriends… and, let’s be honest, real life too. So grab your headphones, get comfy, and join us in the Inner Circle.

Episode 18: Empyrean Series Theories Part 1

This is your official spoiler warning! We’re talking plot twists, hidden clues, and all the juicy loose ends that have us spiralling. We’ll be breaking down moments that made us gasp, flagging things we think are definitely foreshadowing, and sharing our boldest predictions for what’s coming next. This episode is a mix of chaotic speculation, deep dives into character motivation, and maybe a little bit of wishful thinking too! Grab a drink, prep your wards, and join us in the chaos.Because if Onyx Storm taught us anything, it’s that no one is safe.
