246. Sleepy Bitches at RT: Our Impressions of the 2017 RT Convention in Atlanta




Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: Reviews, Interviews, and Discussion About All the Romance Novels You Love to Read show

Summary: As we have in past years, Amanda, Carrie, Elyse, Redheadedgirl, and Sarah gathered in a hotel room to talk (again, tiredly) about Romantic Times. We discuss the Atlanta RT, what we liked, what we noticed, and what we enjoyed most. We start by talking about meeting so many of you (YAY BEST PART!), and about Arthur, who manages the lines at RT in brilliant ways. We cover our favorite events, including the incredibly fun and positive energy of our Reader Recommendation Party, and some of the panels we attended or in some cases were on. Sarah’s mind is repeatedly occupied with her evolving theory of effective swag, and when we all start snacking we get a little punchy on sugar discussing our wish list of future panels and workshops - big fun! Key moment: discover how many bath bombs is too many. And we have some more episodes from RT coming, too, including the audio of our live recording, which was SO much fun. Massive, effusive thanks to all the Patreon supporters who made it possible.
