Just Between Us

Gabe has no idea how to decorate his home because he thinks he has bad taste. Allison is going to be second fiddle on her own new podcast with her husband John. A listener writes in to ask advice on how to continue on with life after her mother died. Allison can relate to handling grief. Then, romance author Brigid Kemmerer joins the show to talk about her experiences and inspirations writing in the romantasy genres, navigating the tropes that readers love (and hate), and the art of telling the same stories with new and exciting details. Why do fantasy/medieval settings do better than contemporary novels? And finally, Allison shares about working with her spouse on their show "Starter Marriage." Gabe has promo ideas.  Check out all of our content on Patreon, Ad Free!

Spotify vs. Apple. Robots grading our papers even though we’re not allowed to use ChatGPT to write them. Allison brings a story from r/AmIOverReacting about a woman whose boyfriend faked an entire online friend group she became a part of. Then, finding a “provider man” to date. Sprinkle sprinkle! Plus, selling your advice and solutions as a grift. The manosphere of Reddit is gross and sexist and Gabe is in the thick of it. They said no one could ever bring a post from r/imaginarygatekeeping to TLDRI. In r/pointlesslygendered, no woman would ever be emotional about linguistics. And finally homemade gatorade.
