About this podcast
Welcome to Pages & Prejudice — your new favourite podcast exploring the best, worst, and most blush-worthy corners of the romance genre.

Whether you’re a diehard fan, or just romance-curious, join us for lively conversations on everything from tropes and trending titles to fanfiction, social media, cultural analysis, and sex-positive takes that challenge and charm. Pages & Prejudice isn’t just about love stories — it’s about loving stories enough to ask better questions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
