S06.01: Trailblazer Jackie Collins
Season Six! How is this even possible!\n\nSeason One gave us a full lAD deep dive (if you\u2019ve never read Kresley Cole\u2019s Immortals After Dark, general existential malaise is a really good reason to start), and Season Two gave us The Books That Blooded Us, the books that made us the romance readers we are. Season Three was during a pandemic, and celebrated that thing we were all desperate for\u2014joy. Season Four introduced the Trailblazer episodes, where we featured interviews with the people who have built the romance house over the last fifty years. \n\nSeason Five built on all of that, deep diving on books that are new and fabulous, old and transformative, and generally celebrating the vast and magnificent romance pool. Season six will do the same. We\u2019ve got interstitials, trailblazers, read alongs and interviews planned, so head over to your favorite podcasting app and subscribe so you don\u2019t miss a minute. \n\nThe season launches today with what we thing is an absolute banger\u2014a trailblazer episode about Jackie Collins, legend, juggernaut, author and lady boss, who was gone too soon. \n\nWe\u2019re so lucky to have had a chance to talk to Collins\u2019s daughters, Rory Green and Tiffany Lerman, who were immensely generous with their time and storytelling, to talk about their mother\u2019s life and work. We love this conversation, and are so grateful to Ms. Green and Ms. Lerman for their time.
