Will opens the show with a remembrance of author and LGBTQ advocate Patricia Nell Warren, who passed away on February 9.
Jeff recommends two industry books: Storyteller: How to Be an Audio Book Narrator by Lorelei King and Ali Muirden and Novel Idea to Podcast: How to Sell More Books Through Podcasting by Paul Sating. Will discusses Paperback Crush: The Totally Radical History of ’80s and ’90s Teen Fiction by Gabrielle Moss. They also talk about Hallmark’s latest gay couple inclusion in a film, the Entertainment Weekly rom-com issue and Most Stuff Oreos.
