Season 1, Episode 1

Written By Amy Lovat

On our very first episode of the first season of Reading Makes You Better (In Bed), we introduce our movie-like love story (yes, it's gross and wholesome and epic), the best books we read in 2021 and how to enjoy break-up albums when you're hot heartbroken.

Books mentioned in the show:

  • I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

  • Love & Virtue by Diana Reid

  • Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton

Music mentioned in the show:

  • 30 by Adele

  • Sour by Olivia Rodrigo

This podcast is recorded on unceded Awabakal and Gadigal Country. We pay our respects to elders past, present and future. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
