683. RT Rewind: August 1996 Reviews

We’re going back to August 1996 – that’s a bit of distance – to take a peek at the new releases and the book reviews in Romantic Times magazine.

We’re back in the era of time travel, a scifi imprint named Avonova, and probable worms.

NSFW worms.

As usual, we learn astonishing amounts of unexpected information from this magazine. For example: we’re both obsessed with the 1996 movie Twister and we have many thoughts on tornadoes.

Content warnings: the following episode contains discussions of large worms, racist language in 29 year old reviews, and spiders.

Worm discussion: 5 minutes long at 35:00

Spider discussion: 47 seconds long at 45:00

We also mentioned:

The Galactic Gourmet has its own Wiki page.
NSFW! Google Search “the fat inkeeper”
NSFW! Urechis unicinctus – the worm
The Monterrey Bay Aquarium: “The fat innkeeper worm: your shelter-in-place inspiration”
The Mummers Parade Wiki page

Special thanks to the sponsor for this week's episode: The Spite Date by Pippa Grant, available in KU, special print edition, and/or duet narration audiobook.
