Great Value Fabio and Other Swoontastic Delights with Shantel!

Hi Smooches! This episode we were thrilled to welcome back Shantel to the podcast! Chantel won the bidding for the second year in a row to be a guest on this pod in the Romance for Reproductive Justice Auction. It's a damn shame that we need such an auction, but we're grateful to Meet Cute Romance Bookshop for creating the fundraising opportunity, which raised in the neighborhood of $15,000. Shantel came to us with a great idea for this episode, which was to hash out what exactly makes a character swoonworthy, and just how those swoons feel. "Sometimes swoon defies explanation."
