The Perks Of Being A Book Lover Podcast
Education:Language Learning
Our guest this week is Natalie Martin, a voracious romance reader from Illinois who we met through Tabby Pawlitzki, host of Modern Life podcast. Natalie is the owner of Just Ask Nat! and a virtual assistant for authors and small businesses including the romance podcast Heaving Bosoms where she has also served as guest co-host.
We wanted to dig deep with a fellow book lover who reads romance almost exclusively to find out why this genre is so important to her and what authors she recommends for someone new to this category of novels. We talk about all kinds of romance tropes and themes and have a grand old time that devolves into a discussion that neither of our moms should listen to. But we don’t, as far as we know, violate any FCC regulations.
Reminder to listeners that Give for Good Louisville is coming up on September 15, and Forward Radio is part of that. There are some cool donor challenges this year that you can learn about at GiveforGoodLouisville.org.
You can follow Natalie on Instagram @justasknat or at her business website www.justasknat.com
