Enjoyed this podcast very much…Length of time was just right and listening to 2 articulate women talking thoughtfully and intelligently about the genre I so love just makes me continue to be proud to be part of the romance-reading community..Keep up the great work and am certainly looking forward to more wonderful podcasts in the future..

Hey, I really enjoyed this! Very interesting. Like Portia, I thought the power imbalance stuff was interesting. As well as your thoughts on the economy and subgenres.

I loved this; mostly because I could listen and exercise at the same time on the elliptical. Not only educational, but burns calories as well :) One of the things I really enjoy about both DA and SB is the thoughtful discussion of the plays within romance. I don’t think that any subject in the world is more complicated than the dynamic between a man and a woman falling in love.

@Laura Vivanco Oh the expectations. LOL. We'll have to have you and Dr. Sarah on to talk about your current projects. that would be interesting. I've actually listened to the real first podcast with our real first guest and I think the guests are so much more interesting than listening to Sarah and I natter on.

Thanks, Jane. It seems as though it was a really interesting conversation, so I hope I don’t have to miss out.

@Laura Vivanco I added a download link for it. I'm digging around to find a better embedded player.

I can’t listen to it because “additional plugins are required” and for some reason the plugins won’t download onto my computer.

Enjoyed the podcast very much, and found myself nodding in agreement, and chuckling along with you in various places. Was particularly interested in your observations on the way authors deal with power imbalance between characters, and genders, in both historical and contemporary settings.

Will definitely listen again, and as for content, well, pretty much all the topics that Keishon mentioned would interest me too.
