Plotting & Panting Podcast

Welcome to Plotting and Panting, the cozy corner of your week where three book-loving besties dive into stories that bring the heat—no matter the genre. From romance to fantasy, thrillers to contemporary fiction, every book we discuss has one thing in common: it’s got spice. Join us for light-hearted laughs, honest chats, and a safe, judgment-free space to gush over plot twists, steamy scenes, and everything in between. Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s turn the page together.

I live in the Midwest with my fiancé and our dogs. I say ‘ope, let me scootch right past ya’ too many times a day, will always call it a hotdish, and I believe that Snickers can be a salad. If you want a good laugh, get me to say “I got this bag at the boat show at the Fargo Dome, don'tcha know”.

I love all things smut. I will read any genre of book, as long as it has a bit of spice, but not much else. I love finding readers in the wild and can talk about dirty books forever.

I like hot coffee, but it’s just not rational. Why wait for it to cool down when I can just have cold brew, right now instead?

I’m just here, vibing and enjoying life along the way.
