  • Fantasies and F-bombs: Breaking the Rules with Sierra Simone
    Readers may not be ready to blurt out their fantasies in public, but they’re obviously eating this stuff up in private.  Why do romantic fantasies feel so right and the way we talk about them feel so wrong?  Best selling author Sierra Simone joins us to talk about breaking taboo in every way possible, and why readers love it so much.

  • Dirty Words and Daring Women: Exploring Historical Romance with Evie Dunmore
    The language of love is forever changing, but a constant theme throughout time has been the use of sexualized words to label women, shame them, and take away their power.  Modern romance novels are one of the ways women are taking back the language of sex, and flipping words and behaviors - once deemed inappropriate - into scenes of empowerment and independence.  Evie Dunmore, historical romance author of USA TODAY bestseller Bringing Down the Duke and the League of Extraordinary Women series, joins us to talk about how she learned to write strong female characters who balance standing up for themselves while falling in love.   Listener discretion advised.

About Zipless

A (sometimes spicy) podcast for romance lovers and listeners. Women have been reading and writing about romance for centuries. But what was once considered a scandalous and secretive pastime, the romance novel has now burst proudly onto the open market. In fact, romance novels account for nearly a quarter of all adult print fiction sold in the United States. And with more and more women listening to romance books, it also matters how these books sound. Hosted by Allie Martina, a professional romance novel narrator, Zipless explores how the language of romance is shaped by writers and narrators, and asks what is it about forbidden love, age gaps, love triangles, friends to lovers, and steamy sex scenes that women find so timelessly appealing. Do romance novels offer windows into the lives women want, or mirror the lives they already have? Can narration, depth of a male voice, or cadence in artistic performance affect a romantic scene? When it comes to the language of love, can the romance novel finally take words long considered shameful and flip them into words of empowerment? In interviews with bestselling romance authors including Evie Dunmore, Sara Cate, Sierra Simone, Stephanie Archer, Xio Axelrod, and more, Zipless explores how romance novels change and reflect women’s lives on and off the page. And in one-of-a-kind cameos appearances, professional actor and romance novel narrator Gideon Frost joins Allie in exploring how performance, delivery, and the language of romance can impact the hearts and minds of an audience.
