Each week on Smart Podcast, Trashy Books, Sarah Wendell interviews authors, readers, reviewers, bloggers, publishing professionals, editors, and librarians about romance novels, which are among the most popular genres in fiction worldwide. Popular guests include: Ilona Andrews, Robin Bradford, NPR's Barrie Hardymon, Chuck Tingle, Sarah J. Maas, and Rachel Aaron. Amanda Diehl, co-pilot of the SS Smart Bitches, makes regular appearances with maximum silliness, especially during our Romantic Times Rewind episodes, where we take a look at old issues of Romantic Times Magazine (1981-2018). Frequent topics include romance novels, the way the genre is changing, and the brilliant and interesting people who read, write, and produce it, and issues common among romance readers. Plus, we always recommend some books we're reading and really enjoying. Learn more at SB-TB.com/Podcast.

689. RT Rewind: May 2016 Ads & Features

We’re going back to May 2016 to look at the Ads & Features in Romantic Times magazine. The kilts are kilting and the abs are ab-ing, and we’ve got some questions.

How do we feel about the terms “book boyfriend” and “pre-con”?
How much of the 2016 conference depended on Twitter to announce pop up signings and special limited time events?
And do you remember how important Twitter was to a conference?
How many different ways are there to photograph a very muscled shirtless man? I think we’re going to see all of them.

So hop into the time machine, we’ve got the snacks, and we’re off to May 2016.

Patreon folks, you have an extended cut of this episode, available through the app or through your private feed.

We also mentioned Elyse’s review of Imagines, complete with Amanda’s specialty Photoshop.
