In this episode we discuss the highly anticipated Season 3 of Netflix’s mega hit show, Bridgerton. As stans we love talking about Shondaland creations and this 3rd installment of Julia Quinn’s book series which focuses of the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Lady Whistledown herself, Penelope Featherington, is no different. We cover the friendships, the romance, the comedic moments, and of course the dynamics of power and privilege in this world especially for women. We also discuss the influence the secret columnist wields in the Ton and what giving that up for love would mean. We also touch on the building love stories and side characters we also love. This one’s a fun one.

We hope you enjoy!
