S02.2 The Alpha in Romance Novels - Interstitial
As we lead into Season Two, and consider the fact that some of our faves are definitely going to be problematic, we\u2019re talking about the alpha hero this week \u2014 we\u2019re also tackling the beta hero and the cinnamon roll, and why these archetypes largely don\u2019t work for us. We\u2019re talking romance heroes who changed the game for us and the genre, about how hard it is to turn the alphahole around, and how satisfying it is to watch it happen. We\u2019re also talking the female gaze (of course) and the patriarchy (like always).
