What in the Smut? Podcast

<p>Welcome back WITS listeners!</p><p>This week, join Elle and Kay as they discuss Bedding the Bedding by Annara Layne.</p><p>WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙</p><p>This week in the smutverse we discuss how Chat GPT is getting more use than many nonfiction books. Our book this week, definitely not nonfiction, leaves the sentient object in its object form. Elle thinks it's a love letter to single women, Kay still wishes it would turn into a person. The main character this week is getting over a breakup, and gives an amazing closure conversation that both Elle and Kay wish they could channel in the real world (everybody... Kay is really getting there.) Kay has conflicting feelings about becoming a regular somewhere... while it's ultimately the dream, she's also a mood orderer. Also, both Elle and Kay would probably commit some crimes to get an apartment with a rent of $200 and the opportunity to work in an antique store. </p><p>Overall, Elle gave this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and Kay came in at ⭐⭐⭐.5.</p><p>Links for this week's episode:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/49Mre7b">Bedding the Bedding</a> by Annara Layne</p><p>Next week: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4esZFkF">That One Time with the Lemon Drop </a>by Alex LaBruyere</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://what-in-the-smut.printify.me">WE HAVE MERCH!!!</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram and Threads<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/thewitspod"> @thewitspod </a>and TikTok <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@what.in.the.smut">@what.in.the.smut</a></p><p>Visit our<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/witspodcast"> Buy Me a Coffee</a> page!</p><p>Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!</p><p>Love Sponge by<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/triple5-here/contact">Triple5 Here</a> is licensed under a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0">Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p><p></p>

<p>Welcome back WITS listeners! </p><p>This week, Kay and Elle discuss Cirrus About You by Latrexa Nova. </p><p>WITS Smut Scale: 🐙 </p><p>This week we start off with, much to Kay's dismay, more not-so-good news from the smut verse. Specifically, how AI is continuing to be a thorn in the side for authors and readers alike, and is now being used as a method of getting authors cancelled. For our book this week, we loved the non-binary and demisexual representation, but were left a little blue in the romance (well really the smut) side of things. There was also a... frog cult? Kay's got some weird stuff on her FYP on socials, but she's never seen the likes of a frog cult before. We also discuss the prevalence of fan-art and fan-fiction, and how it's worked its way into the story. </p><p>Overall, Kay gave this ⭐, while Elle gave it ⭐⭐.</p><p>Links for this week's episode:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4viWGlG">Cirrus About You</a> by Latrexa Nova</p><p>Next week: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/49Mre7b">Bedding the Bedding</a> by Annara Layne</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://what-in-the-smut.printify.me">WE HAVE MERCH!!!</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram and Threads<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/thewitspod"> @thewitspod </a>and TikTok <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@what.in.the.smut">@what.in.the.smut</a></p><p>Visit our<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/witspodcast"> Buy Me a Coffee</a> page!</p><p>Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!</p><p>Love Sponge by<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/triple5-here/contact">Triple5 Here</a> is licensed under a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0">Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p>

<p>Welcome back WITS listeners! </p><p>Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss My Date with Bubble Tea by Sylvia Morrow</p><p>WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙</p><p>Elle finally has some good news from the Smutverse, and Kay is thrilled (she's been asking for some good news for weeks now)! The book this week had us asking what size Boba Tea cup would be appropriate- surely the size of a full grown man would be too big, but a regular cup is too small for that... necessary usage? Elle is horrified that the concept of bacteria was included, knowing full well where that tea is going to end up. Theres an interesting level of an insta-love dynamic, and Kay thinks she's more on board with it because he falls first. </p><p>Overall, Elle gave this ⭐.5, while Kay rated this ⭐⭐. An interesting take on a pretty obscure sentient object, we'll give her credit!!</p><p></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4v6G3tc">My Date with Bubble Tea</a> by Silvia Morrow</p><p>Next Week: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4viWGlG">Cirrus About You</a> by Latrexa Nova</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://what-in-the-smut.printify.me">WE HAVE MERCH!!!</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram and Threads<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/thewitspod"> @thewitspod </a>and TikTok <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@what.in.the.smut">@what.in.the.smut</a></p><p>Visit our<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/witspodcast"> Buy Me a Coffee</a> page!</p><p>Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!</p><p>Love Sponge by<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/triple5-here/contact">Triple5 Here</a> is licensed under a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0">Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p>

<p>Welcome back WITS listeners!</p><p>This week, Kay and Elle discuss Fully Charged by Nicole Parker and Unfortunate Reads</p><p>WITS Smut Scale:</p><p>Kay is desperate for some good news in the smut verse, and today comes with a bad review that seems to give us some good reading potential. As promised, the link to Strange Familiars can be found <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/3PB0504">here</a>. Kay has already downloaded it, and added it to her TBR. We discuss if Elle is still in the stone age using battery operated toys, and Kay is finding herself in this story without her consent. Kay makes a list of all of the words that the authors can use to represent the main characters "cave of wonders," which honestly gives Holly Wilde a run for her money. Kay brings us on a tangent and a biology lesson, and Elle has a soapbox moment about the scientific study of women's bodies. While we appreciate the MMC being fully there to make sure that the FMC is satisfied, we were both left wanting when it came to the insta-love part of the story line. It really goes off the rails with the epilogue, and if anyone gave Kay's kids a drum set they would be less than politely asked to leave.</p><p>Overall, this was Kay's 2nd read, and she gave this ⭐⭐.5, though she's definitely less surprised a year and 1/2 and over 60 sentient object romances later, while Elle gave this ⭐⭐ for her first read.</p><p>Links for this weeks episode:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4tHQxOH">Fully Charged</a> by Nicole Parker and Unfortunate Reads</p><p>Next week: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4v6G3tc">My Date with Bubble Tea</a> by Silvia Morrow</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://what-in-the-smut.printify.me">WE HAVE MERCH!!!</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram and Threads<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/thewitspod"> @thewitspod </a>and TikTok <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@what.in.the.smut">@what.in.the.smut</a></p><p>Visit our<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/witspodcast"> Buy Me a Coffee</a> page!</p><p>Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!</p><p>Love Sponge by<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/triple5-here/contact">Triple5 Here</a> is licensed under a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0">Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p>

<p>Welcome back WITS listeners!</p><p>Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Knotted by the Beast by Siena Stone</p><p>WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙</p><p>Elle thinks that the bookish community needs to take a deep breath and maybe take a break to go outside for a timeout based on the smutverse news. We discuss how the Beast's first mistake in this book was letting Belle's father leave, when he really has no way of enforcing his punishment for stealing the flower since he's trapped in the castle because of the curse. Both ladies agree that there was some omegaverse standards that were overlooked or missed entirely. As usual, we can never be satisfied. Either theres too much plot and not enough smut, or too much of the same smut and not enough plot. Kay is happy that the beast stays in his beast form at the end of this, while Elle firmly believes that he should be able to be the one to make that decision. </p><p>Overall, both Elle and Kay gave this ⭐, with the Kay's biggest complaints having to do with some major plot holes, and Elle really not liking the Beast's lack of growth at the end. </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://what-in-the-smut.printify.me">WE HAVE MERCH!!! </a></p><p>Links for this week's episode:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4u6CK5k">Knotted by the Beast</a> by Siena Stone</p><p>Next Week's Book: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4tHQxOH">Fully Charged</a> by Nicole Parker and Unfortunate Reads</p><p>What Else We're Reading:</p><p>Elle: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4tHQxOH">There is No Anti Memetics</a> Division by QNTM</p><p>Kay: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4uofakO">Till Death and Daisies Bloom</a> by Jamie Dalton and Raven Storm</p><p>Follow us on Instagram and Threads<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/thewitspod"> @thewitspod </a>and TikTok <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@what.in.the.smut">@what.in.the.smut</a></p><p>Visit our<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/witspodcast"> Buy Me a Coffee</a> page!</p><p>Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!</p><p>Love Sponge by<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/triple5-here/contact">Triple5 Here</a> is licensed under a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0">Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p>
