  Let’s Talk About Consent, Baby

  Aug 13, 20261h 2m

  This week Amy, Payton, Abby & Justina discuss Katherine Angel’s book, Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again , and deep dive into the nuances of sex, consent and desire. What kinds of social scripts have we been taught about sex and consent and why are they so dang gendered? Why is the patriarchy always at the scene of the crime? And how does this all shake out when romance and smut books enter the chat?  Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and child sexual abuse.   Our BOTM is Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nacosta   MENTIONS TBC   LINKS: Watch the full episode on YouTube: @AmyAndBookclub Follow the Amy & Podcast on IG: @amyandbookclub   Follow the Amy & Podcast on TikTok: @amyandbookclub Join the Amy & Bookclub: Amy & Bookclub   Follow Amy Matthews on IG: @amymatthewsauthor   Follow Amy Barry on IG: @amybarryauthor Our theme music is by Mass Wisteria.

  This is Gonna Get Weird: An Intro to Monster Smut

  Aug 5, 202646 min

  Welcome to another Amy & Smut Month, the month where we talk about books with smut! This time we're getting to know the monstrous, the beastly, and the surprisingly sweet. We tackle what kind of monsters belong in 'monster smut', our Wills and Won'ts of monsterkind, Romantasy vs Monster Romances, and just why these beastly men appeal to readers. Fun moments include a monster dating show (Married at First Bite anyone?), an inappropriate discussion of manatees, and Amy Learns About The Omegaverse. Amy & episodes are usually NSFW: this episode is particularly NSFW. This month we're reading Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. If you haven't read this delightful book yet, grab your copp so there's no spoilers when you listen to our book club on 27th August! MENTIONS BOOKS Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M.

  Six Covert Narcissists Log Into Zoom: The Highs and Lows of Writing

  Jul 29, 20261h 17m

  We're trying something a little different for this After Dark: a get-to-know-us episode. We've been talking zines all month, so it felt right that we get together and talk about our lives as writers. We answer the age old questions like Pantser or Plotter, do you worldbuild extensively or wing it, and why is writing so hard? We get into some less traditional topics as well, like whether we'd prefer to be a Nobel winner or a New York Times' bestselling author, and can you want people to like your writing without being a narcissist? All this and more on our After Dark deep dive. MENTIONS Burnout by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski The Faithful Executioner by Joel F. Harrington The Writer's Guide to Every Day Life in the Wild West by Candy Moulton Everyday Life During the Civil War by Michael J. Varhola The Writer's Guide to Every Day Life in Regency and Victorian England by Kristine Hughes The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again by Katherine Angel Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M.

  BOOK CLUB: We made zines!

  Jul 22, 20261h 10m

  "It's nice to be known, I guess?" This book club episode is a liiittle bit different because it is zine month, and in lieu of a book club pick, we tasked ourselves with making our own zines. Today is the day we share them with each other and, of course, with you! From Amy & warfare to imaginary band discographies, this episode is a wild ride and the perfect culmination of everything we've explored this month - it's just unfortunate that the Zoom audio can't pick up all the laughter, but rest assured, it was constant. I don't think any of us expected to be perceived and read quite this intensely or filthily . . .
