Episode 25: Merry Christmas for Art... and His Tentacles by Amy Bellows and Shannon Mae

In this very special holiday episode the Dianas from the Double Dianas podcast join Alli and Trey as the deck the halls with tentacles. This week they decide whether tentacles are hot or not, try to count exactly how many tentacles there were, and attempt to decipher cryptid tentacle anatomy.

Episode 24: Soul Eater by Lily Mayne

Jo returns, joining Alli and Trey as they take a foray into monster f-ing with Lily Mayne's Soul Eater. This episode covers Louisiana accents, hot boy meters, and the nuances of body fluids in smut. Your PiO pals also crunch the numbers and give you the tight ball count stats you crave. Enjoy this extra-long episode with an extra-special guest host.

Episode 23: Sins of the Orc by Finley Fenn

Alli explains orc culture while Trey tries to forget all the times that this book talks about scents. They are diving into a fantasy romance novella this week with full orc on orc action. Trey finds out what clan of orcs he would be. And, of course, they touch on mage fingering, anal reiki, and perineum sunning. Content Warning- Due to the plot of this book, coerced sex and sexual assault are themes throughout the entire episode.
