Summary
Gabe has no idea how to decorate his home because he thinks he has bad taste. Allison is going to be second fiddle on her own new podcast with her husband John. A listener writes in to ask advice on how to continue on with life after her mother died. Allison can relate to handling grief. Then, romance author Brigid Kemmerer joins the show to talk about her experiences and inspirations writing in the romantasy genres, navigating the tropes that readers love (and hate), and the art of telling the same stories with new and exciting details. Why do fantasy/medieval settings do better than contemporary novels? And finally, Allison shares about working with her spouse on their show "Starter Marriage." Gabe has promo ideas.
