What in the Smut? Podcast

Welcome back WITS listeners! Join us this week as leave this galaxy to discuss When She's Stuffed by Ruby Dixon. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙This week we have hope in abundance after the US election results, though Kay's nervous system won't just let her be happy about it. Though there's big (blue? we think?) aliens in this week's book, it was very sweet, with the alien MMC pining after the FMC. Ruby Dixon fully immerses us in her world, and had our stomachs rumbling with the description of the meal that they were preparing. While the smut was pretty straightforward... the smut still smutted for us this week. Overall, Kay needed a little bit more fluff and gave this ⭐⭐⭐.5 while Elle loved it all, this was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for her!Links for this week's episode:When She's Stuffed by Ruby DixonNext Week: Totally Basted by Zoe IndianaWhat else we're reading: A Court of Splintered Harmony by Sarah J.

Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Basket Case: Taken by the Horny Wicker Basket by Skye and Philomena MacKinnon.WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙This week, we start with a call to action for our US listeners. Please go out and vote this week, your voice matters! We continue to use this podcast to broaden our understanding of the world, including investigating whether or not Philomena MacKinnon is a pen name (it is) or a cat. Boots on the ground investigative journalism over here. Kay loves the incorporation of Scottish lore in her smut. We learned about some of the traditions of Samhain (including how to properly pronounce it), specifically picking kale to get information about your future spouse. As for the smut... it smuts in this book. Kay was very pleased to find that the basket does, in fact, turn into a flesh and blood man (Fae?) at the end.For the first time in a while, this was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for both Kay and Elle.Links for this week's episode:Basket Case: Taken by the Horny Wicker Basket by Skye and Philomena MackinnonNext Week: When She's Stuffed by Ruby DixonWhat else we're reading: Mad Mable by Sally Hepworth (Elle)F*cked Up Fairytales by Liz Gotauco (Kay)WE HAVE MERCH!!!Follow us on Instagram and Threads @thewitspod and TikTok @what.in.the.smutVisit our Buy Me a Coffee page!Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!Love Sponge byTriple5 Here is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.

Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Monster Mash by Latrexa Nova. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙We start this week with a discussion on casting after the release of the cast for the live action adaptation of Fourth Wing. We're both excited to see how it goes, and Kay is still hoping that Michael B. Jordan gives himself at least some sort of role. In our book this week, there's a grocery list of trigger warnings, but not listed in the book itself... if we missed any at the start, we apologize. However, if you're listening to a level 5, you're likely not all that triggered by any of these. Elle was triggered by the continued appearance of the clown horn noise. Boffa boffa. While there was a lot that didn't work for us personally... Latrexa Nova could still do a master class on creative writing. Overall. Kay gave this ⭐⭐⭐ while Elle gave it just a bit higher at ⭐⭐⭐.5Affiliate links for this week's episode:Monster Mash by Latrexa NovaNext week's book: Basket Case: Taken by the Horny Wicker Basket by Skye and Philomena MackinnonWhat else we're reading: The Library of Amorlin by Kalyn Josephson WE HAVE MERCH!!!Follow us on Instagram and Threads @thewitspod and TikTok @what.in.the.smutVisit our Buy Me a Coffee page!Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!Love Sponge byTriple5 Here is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.

Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Taken by the Scarecrow by Kitty L. Black. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙We start this week with more AI news in the trad publishing world that has us baffled and infuriated. Should we start our own publishing house? This week's book has some darker elements in addition to some of our least favorite tropes... popcorn AND pregnancy? How do the two combine, you may ask... and whatever you're thinking is probably accurate. The authors ability to create anxiety within the reader was excellent... but some of the scenes left us not on board with the romantic element. Elle is big mad about our FMC changing her life plans or living in the city after a single conversation with the scarecrow and some popcorn babies. Overall, both Elle and Kay gave this ⭐⭐. While the writing was great, we didn't love a lot of the romance elements in this one. Affiliate links for this week's episode:Taken by the Scarecrow by Kitty L.

Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Knotty Broomsticks by Sabrina Cross.WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙We start off this week discussing Rebecca Yarros and her fans' lack of empathy. It's time to get outside and touch grass, people! This week's book has all the witchy vibes we could want as we make our way deeper into spooky season, though we could do with a little more revenge!Overall, Elle gave this ⭐⭐⭐⭐, but if it had been just a little longer and had a little more resolution, it definitely would be higher because the writing was really good. Kay went all in because of course Sabrina can do no wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.Links for this week's episode:Knotty Broomstick by Sabrina CrossWE HAVE MERCH!!!Follow us on Instagram and Threads @thewitspod and TikTok @what.in.the.smutVisit our Buy Me a Coffee page!Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!Love Sponge byTriple5 Here is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.
