Paperback Bromance

A Podcast where two burly bearded men read classic and modern romance novels and give in depth reviews…..but here’s the catch, the books are only second hand novels, and they have to drink boxed wine (aka smut juice)…. Now for the final kick in the nuts, one of them hasn’t read the book… Listen as Matt-splains the book, David gives an honest review (since, let’s be honest, he’s the only one reading and probably more than low key loves it) and Phoebe (the slightly squeaky sidekick) is only allowed to read the “spicy” segments while she introduces her lady perspective during “Phoebe reads the Steamy”
