Podcast

I co-host That Rom Com Pod with fellow author Karina May. From meetcute to rock bottom to grand gesture, we ride the highs and lows of classic and contemporary romantic comedies in search of that warm and fuzzy rom com feeling. And we share a few insights from behind the scenes as authors of rom-coms. Episodes are released fortnightly – listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
