Hot & Bothered

On Hot &amp; Bothered, we encourage people to treat Romance and the work of women as sacred.If you make your way through our past episodes you'll see that in our first season, we follow the experiences of host Vanessa Zoltan's friends as they write their very first romance novels with the advice of Bridgerton&nbsp;author Julia Quinn. In season two, Hot &amp; Bothered: Twilight in Quarantine, Vanessa and BFF Julia Argy read the Twilight series as the world went into COVID-19 lockdown,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/arts/podcasts-coronavirus.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recommended in the New York Times</a> as a top podcast for quarantine, “Because isn’t now the time to turn to the survival lessons of Edward Cullen, that sparkling telepathic vampire who only escaped the Spanish influenza by becoming undead?”&nbsp;For season three and forward, we're creating seasons centered around a Romance that will be part book club, part deep analysis, and part taking the work and/or desires of women and treating them seriously. Our first of this endeavor, Hot &amp; Bothered: On Eyre, examined Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Our second was Hot &amp; Bothered: Live from Pemberley. We're now launching a new season on February 13th all about How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days — and the power of romance films.
