Hey friends, there's a new podcast from Spoke Media and the creators of Harry Potter and the sacred text called Hot and Bother.

Where they treat romance novels as feminist texts,

primarily written by women, for women, and about female pleasure.

In one of her darkest moments,

host Vanessa Zoltin turned to romance novels for comfort and joy. We know the feeling. And the process of writing

her own romance novel changed her life because to her writing romance is a sacred practice.

Now she's encouraging all of her friends

to write their own romance novels.

You can follow along and write a romance novel of your own

with regular assignments from novelist Julia Quinn and do the radical work of

pursuing your desires reclaiming your stories and reimagining what you deserve

listen and subscribe to Hot and Botherd, wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, H.B.S. you're listening to Heaving Busoms. The podcast where two romance loving BFFs

recap a new romance novel each week and squeeze into your earholes with your consent.

I mean really you opted into this experience.

Before we do anything else I want to talk about the Patreon fundraiser we did in June and July of this year.

We decided to double any new or increased pledges during that time frame.

And for the increased pledges, we didn't double the amount the patron increased.

We doubled the total amount.

Well, y'all showed up.

I'm ecstatic to announce that we donated 1, 980 to the Yellow Hammer Fund to help women

in Alabama get the reproductive health care they need.
