Podcasts We Love: Thinking Straight

On our trips, I’ve noticed the proliferation of straight romance novels over the past few years. Books with titles like “Kiss Me, Maybe” and “The Smooch Experiment.” Have you seen these?

These stories seem to be getting wildly popular, but in my little lesbian bubble, I’ve barely heard anything about them.

Enter Nadine Santoro and Lena Wilson of the Thinking Straight podcast. Nadine and Lena are lesbians, and feminists, too, but Nadine works in publishing and Lena is a journalist, so they’re more willing to investigate this phenomenon. They’re also engaged to each other, which is super cute.

In their podcast, Lena and Nadine read one contemporary heterosexual romance novel per episode, then review it in this format:

Reason they chose to read the book

Plot summary

The good

The bad (which they call PLC – Predictable Lesbian Criticisms)

I love hearing about crazy shit. That’s why I’m so into reality TV. And there’s a lot of crazy shit in straight romance novels, apparently. From the bizarrely popular trope of what Nadine and Lena call “Polly Pocket pussy” – giant guy, tiny woman – to a full range of monster-fucking, our straight friends have been reading some nasty shit and we’ve had no idea as they post these cute-seeming books to their Goodreads and Storygraphs...

Like obviously that is not what they are talking about and it is a serious moment, but it always feels like a missed opportunity

On the ground, I laid down.

Struck a light 🚬

Cracked open the stars,

Under the dimly lit moon.

Why did I take this long to see,

If it was a curse or a boon.

They called me closer, those little men in the sky.

Dancing around they told me their secret,

whispering wonders.

It was nothing I already didn’t know.

Why did I fail to see.

Who I was, it wasn’t me.

My head in the clouds I failed to see,

I had come so far away from me.

My surgery went well! I can't really say it mattered because it's not like my wisdom teeth were giving me any pain in the first place, but it's all good and the numbness is finally starting to go away!
