Booked and Bothered is a cozy, conversational podcast where I talk about books, authors, and their drama. Each episode explores the love lies, scandals, and secrets of literary figures and the stories they inspired, because the classics were never truly boring. This podcast is classic literature meets modern gossip, to make the subjects that may be daunting to some, more accessible and fun. Booked and Bothered explores the lives and scandals of famous writers, uncovering the love, lies, and drama hidden behind classic literature in a way that’s fun, cozy, and totally judgment free. While also breaking down classics, and talking about juicy themes and tidbits that readers may have not caught the first read, or that may intrigue new readers, no homework required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to open my podcast with a piano to evoke a feeling of another era, such as the Regency era. I tied that in with a cafe ambience to set a cozy mood, inviting the listener to join me for a cup of tea or coffee and a good gossip session. I added the sound of a page turning before I began to speak to give the feel that we were opening a book as we entered into the literary world of the past. Once I began to talk about Emily Dickinson, I added the sound of a pen or, in her case, a quill scribbling on paper, which she often did bent over a page, creating a new poem. At the end, I close with the sound of tea being poured into a mug to emphasize what I was saying, spilling the tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
