Enough flirting — we can’t take it anymore!

Make Out Already

A podcast about romance novels, movies and anything with a happily ever after.

“Best romance novel podcast I’ve ever listened to. Equal parts enthralling and endearing. A must-subscribe for humans of all ages.”

“Pasión y picardia. Romances que te transportan y vives la fantasia como si fueras parte de ella.“

“Listening to Liz and Meg’s witty banter has made me fall in love with reading all over again.”

“The smartest, funniest, and sexiest podcast to ever caress your eardrums.”

— Assorted friends, lovers and mothers

We’re Meg and Liz! We’re two romance-loving millennials and feminists from very different backgrounds, who both take extreme comfort in love stories. Our show recaps mostly contemporary romance novels — the smuttier the better. We dabble in some sexy alien sci-fi, fantasy-lite romance, and rom-coms — anything with an HEA!

In each episode, we talk about what we loved and what we hated, fancast the protagonists, and shout out the supporting characters who stole the show. Meg gives us a recipe inspired by the story, and Liz pulls tarot cards to gaze into the characters’ futures. We’re sometimes brainy, sometimes brazen, and always bananapants.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Air kisses!
