Welcome to the Judge John Hodgeman podcast. I am Bailiff, Jesse Thorn, joined in person in downtown

Los Angeles at Max Fun headquarters by Judge John Hodgman. Hello, Judge Hachman. Hello,

bailiff, Jesse Thorne, oh, bailiff, my bailiff. Yes, I am very thrilled to be here in person,

in robes, in hoax. I could have worn something a little nicer down. I forgot that sometimes you see

below my knees here when I'm in studio. They're very puffy shoes. Yeah, I was just here for the

Max Fund Drive finale, and we have a wonderful guest that we're about to introduce. I didn't want to

go home without meeting our wonderful guests. And summer is right around the corner, Jesse.

And before I disappear into the coastal woods of Maine, I was thinking, what do we like to do during the summer?

I know read books.

A lot of people like to read romance novels.

I thought you were going to say a lot of people like to go outdoors, but not us.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Too many tick-borne illnesses to go outdoors.

Stay inside, read a romance novel. Now, I am no stranger when it comes to novels, but I am a stranger when it comes to romance. Don't know anything about it. So I'm very grateful that we have an expert in both fields, the combination of romance novels, a wonderful writer. Why don't you introduce

our guest, Jesse? We are so excited to introduce to the court a New York Times bestselling writer

known for her hockey romance novels. She wrote the Game Changers series, which has been adapted

for the hit TV series, Heeded Rivalry. Rachel Reed, welcome to Judge John Hodgman. We're thrilled to have you here. I'm thrilled to be here. Thank you. I'm very excited. Thank you for wearing that elegant business attire as well. Thank you. Yes, I'm glad I'm wearing my robes because I have to be wearing the exact same thing underneath. That would have been embarrassing. Yeah.

So, Rachel, you've written the Game Changers series.

For those who haven't read your books or watched the show,

can you tell our listeners and viewers a little bit about the work?

Yeah.

So the Game Changer Series is a series of at the moment six books, soon to be seven.
