About Us

We’re Courtney and we’re Sara and we’re the hosts of Bodice Tipplers, a podcast that explores vintage romance novels through the lens of the girls we used to be in the 80’s and 90’s, reading books for information about sex and relationships. The “S” volume of the World Book Encyclopedia wasn’t enough information and Johanna Lindsay was maddeningly nonspecific. In each episode we read a book from that era and tell you what happens in it, how bananas it is, how are relationships modeled in it, and if anybody wears a really good outfit. We live in South Carolina and cannot do anything about our accents so please stop asking us to try.
