Episode 5: A TV Critic Looking for a Soap Opera in Book Form
Manage episode 300738134 series 2954810
Episode 5: Show notes
A senior TV writer at Refinery29, Ariana Romero should be your your go-to person for enthusiastic show recommendations and thoughtful takes on TV's latest on and off-screen drama. She specializes in streaming TV, reality shows like The Bachelor, and Latinx-led entertainment. She loves brunch, does not love classic books, and could give an on-the-spot TED talk about how everything, yes everything, is actually a soap opera. In the show, we talk books like The Bachelor, telenovelas, and why romance novels might induce jealousy (it's a thing).
The guest: Ariana Romero
The picks:
You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria
Sea Monster by Chloe Aridjis
How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams
The Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes-Rodrigues
Bellweather Rhapsody by Kate Racculia
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
