Episode 5: Pucked by Helena Hunting

Thanks for joining us for this (slightly late — sorry!) episode about Pucked, a hockey romance that is light on both hockey and romance but heavy on creative nicknames for genitalia. We laugh out of joy instead of nervousness in this one, so definitely an upgrade!

Here is the Jia Tolentino essay Lena talks about in the beginning, and here is the article Nadine cites when talking about the BookTok vs. Kraken beef. This is the video Lena is pulling her spooky summer reading recs from.

Thanks, as always, to ⁠Deoxys Beats⁠ for our intro and outro music, "RedLips."
