Collaborations!
✨Peep the platforms that have featured us and gotten us to this point ✨
Apple Podcasts
Whew chile, the disbelief. So yeah, in honor of 2020 #BookLoversDay, Apple Podcasts made a page of their favorite Book-Themed podcasts called the “Book Lovers Corner”. And your favorite candied apples made it onto the list!!! It was wild lol.
Left Shelf Podcast
You’ll find some kind of love potion in many a fairytale, so naturally we had to do a deep dive. So we hopped on the mic with our new friends, Nino & Ethan, to discuss The Case For and Against Love Potions. Did we all find true love in the end? There’s only one way to find out!
I found this great Book Podcast
We love a good Curtis and have already collaborated with him multiple times on our show! Being stans of the Harlem Renaissance, we were on his show previously to discuss “The Gilded Six-Bits” by Zora Neale Hurston and, most recently, There is Confusion by Jessie Redmon Fauset!
Book Retorts Podcast
Marci made a solo appearance on the Book Retorts podcast where they discussed the iconic and hilarious queer sci-fi adventure novel The Disasters by M.K. England! Danielle and Sam were hilarious and hadn’t read it, so, naturally, tomfoolery abounded lol.
Don’t CALL It a Book Club podcast
Don’t Call It A Book Club invited us onto their show in what became our first ever appearance on another podcast! We chatted about 2 short stores, Auspicium Melioris Aevi & Patterns of a Murmuration, In Billions of Data Points, by Neon Yang and, naturally, hilarity ensued lol.
Blerd
Blerd, a creative outlet and community that discusses gaming, media, & the Black nerd lifestyle, gave us the pleasure of featuring us in an article on their website! Check out their review of the show and learn more about what the show is all about!

Carefree Black Nerd PODCAST
Rhayne is a light and we’ve previously collaborated to discuss We Are Who We Are, a beautiful, queer coming of age story about a group of American teens living on an Italian army base. Listen in on our latest collab about Genera+ion, another beautiful, queer coming of age story about a group of American teens that are a STRAIGHT. UP. MESS.
SHELF ADDICTION podcast
Truly who needs thriller movies when you have Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby?! Tamara and Classy graciously allowed us to discuss this fast-paced page-TURNUH that’s filled to the brim with nuanced social commentary on the heist genre. We stan.
SSR Podcast
We love a good throwback book almost as much as we love our pages colored, which made our conversation with Alli from SSR Podcast all the better. We revisited the ICONIC novel, Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan, and talked about all the things that made this story of immigration, family, and hope so great!
Ink To Film Podcast
As far as we’re concerned, the Cinderella movie starring Brandy and Whitney Houston is the only one that exists. Luke and James also lived for it, so of course we had to hop onto their podcast to discuss the movie and compare it to the original 17th century fairytale!
BLACK CHICK LIt podcast
It’s no secret that Dani and Mollie are our official play cousins <3 They’ve been on our show so it was only a natural progression that we would end up on theirs! We talked about the sapphic, action-packed, patriarchy-shattering novel Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron and it was a HOOT!
Black Girls Create
Black Girls Create, a unique intersectional hub for Black creators and critical fandom, highlighted us in their December 2019 issue of their “Featured Creators” Series! In the article, we give more background on how we got started with the show, why we do what we do, and offer more of a behind-the-scenes perspective of who we are.

SJW Comic Book Club podcast
Melissa, Monte, and Veronica had us on their podcast before to discuss the iconic Marvel series, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Ironheart, and Black Panther! In our latest collab, we discuss a slightly messy original story featuring the legendary, Nubia! We had a GREAT time drankin’, kikiing, and having thoughtful discussion in between!
Your Favorite Book Podcast
I’m sorry, but the iconic Malavika Praseed AND James Baldwin?! It’s giving “yes”. It’s giving “absolutely.” And, most importantly, it’s giving “you need to check out our conversation on Giovanni’s Room!”
Fuckbois of Literature Podcast
We stan a podcast that challenges toxic masculinity and calls out fuckery. So naturally, we had to get on Fuckbois of Literature with the hilarious, Emily, and talk about whiteness, sex work, and much more in the classic play/film A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams.
Books and Boba Podcast
Sometimes miracles sneak up on you. That’s what happened when we read She of the Mountains by Vivek Shraya, an experimental novel that fuses Hindu mythology into a queer coming of age story set in Canada. Even better, our new friends, Reera and Marvin, invited us on Books and Boba to talk about it <3
EsGAYpe From Reality PODCAST
Never in our lives have we seen as much thirst as we did in the Harry Potter-esque, queer young adult novel, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. We had no choice but to join Jessie and Lark on their show, EsGAYPE From Reality, to discuss the SHENANIGANS.
The Bookstore Podcast
