Considering the number of co-hosts who have joined me on this podcast who discovered this series through a bonkers panel hosted by historical romance novelist Sarah MacLean, I had to have her on the podcast. The podcast just wouldn’t be complete without it. In this episode, we talk about our very, very French heroine, Marlene, and her shy beau, Zennek. We also discuss the appeal of bonkers books, the future of the Ice Planet tribe and the genius of Ruby Dixon’s world-building. This is the last episode for this batch (er, season?) before the podcast goes on hiatus. It’s been such a treat to talk about sex, love, romance, trauma, survival and horny blue aliens with all of my co-hosts and listeners. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

We’re going back in time! In this episode, we flashback to the very beginning to see what went down when the Ice Planet’s saddest woman and most emotionally intelligent hunter resonated. Author Juno Sunbear declares Ariana the mascot for 2020 (Sad Bitch 2020) and I fawn over how great a job Zolaya does at helping her cope. We’re both creeped out by their eerie kid, though. We also talk about what’s happening over at the Icehome Village. Do the new arrivals even know the Croatoan Village has indoor plumbing and heated floors? Did they get a choice before being abandoned on that beach? Justice for the Beach Tribe! Be on the look out for the next episode when I’ll talk Barbarian’s Seduction with author Sarah MacLean!

This episode, I’m joined by author Katrina Jackson to discuss Barbarian’s Tease, the 15th book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series. And, whew! Brook and Taushen really tested us in this one. They basically that one Katy Perry song. They’re also kind of dumb. Along with their antics, we discuss whether tails should be a requirement in alien romances, life in the new Icehome tribe and how Brook needs to LEAVE TIFFANY ALONE! Be on the look out for the next episode when I’ll talk Barbarian’s Beloved with erotica author Juno Sunbear. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

Heyyyyyy, listeners! I hope you all are thriving and surviving as 2020 continues to 2020. I recorded this episode back in May and have finally kicked my butt in gear to share. Thank you for being so patient, ’cause I’m struggling. But at least I’m having great conversations with funny people while doing so. This episode, I’m joined by Jenny Nordbak from the Wicked Wallflowers Club. She and I discussed Barbarian’s Rescue, also known as the one where everything gets blown up! Summer and Warrek are straight up action stars in this book … and we skimmed all that to talk about the kissing. We also try and figure out what is considered second base (over the shirt or under??) as well as what an Ice Planet Talent Show would look like. Be sure to join me for the next book, Barbarian’s Tease, when I’ll be joined by author Katrina Jackson. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

The series goes back to its roots in this book, with couples hiding from the tribe and making out in caves.

This book starts with the hero buying human slaves from intergalactic smugglers. Big yikes!

Things are tough right now. Why not avoid it all by listening to Heaving Bosoms‘ Melody and I talk about all the alien sex featured in Barbarian’s Choice?

This is a heavy one, friends, so get the tissues ready. Andrea, from the Shelf Love Podcast joins me for a discussion of Barbarian’s Hope.

Erin, of the Heaving Bosoms podcast, and I discuss the tragic romance of Pashov and Stacey from Barbarian’s Heart. She loves him, but he can’t remember her. It’s my kryptonite, y’all.

In case you didn’t know, my all-time favorite gif is the one featuring Marie Kondo gleefully stating that she loves mess. Well, Ms. Kondo, you’d love Barbarian’s Taming, because our girl Maddie and her man, Hassen, are MESSY. Ana Coqui, of the Beyond the Sectors and RomBkLove podcasts, joins me as we discuss their questionable decisions.

I can’t believe I made it through this entire episode without making a single! Miss Cleo joke. This episode, Melinda, from Romance Sparks Joy, joins me to read about the Ice Planet’s resident psychic and his alien girlfriend, Lila.

We’re taking it back to where it all began! This week, I’m joined by my longtime friend and cohost, Mollie, from Black Chick Lit. We discuss the very first book in the series that I ever read, Barbarian’s Mate.

We ruin all your favorite foods in this one. This week, I’m joined romance reader, blogger and Ice Planet newbie Funmi as we discuss Barbarian’s Prize, Tiffany and Salukh’s book.

Surprise, surprise: more dick talk. This week, I’m joined by Erin from the Learning the Tropes podcast. Listen in as we discuss Barbarian Mine, the fourth book in the series featuring Harlow and mystery man Rukh.

So much talk about dildos in this one. For this episode, I'm joined by Isabel of Romance Sparks Joy to discuss Barbarian Lover, Kira and Aehako's book. We try and break down the real questions of this series: How do 7-foot-tall alien men romance 5-foot-tall human women? How is anyone getting any sleep in that loud fuck-cave? And why doesn't anyone care about what happened to Harlow? This book also provided us some A+ comedy bits, highlighted by the gift of an anatomically correct bone dildo. (Bonus: here's the dildo that Isabel says would be a good stand-in for the sa-khui's junk.) Prepare to delete your search history and join in. Next week, listen in for a discussion of Barbarian Mine with Erin of Learning the Tropes. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

Welcome back to the ice planet! We meet Raahosh and Liz, the Ice Planet’s resident tsunderes. It’s the first of many kidnapping plots and many mispronunciations of Haeden’s name. It’s also the first of many, many, many discussions of the spur. Strap in. For this episode, I’m joined by guests Bobbi and Ellen from The Lusty Intellectuals. They are actually the ones who retweeted that giant blue dildo photo in my Instagram feed that sort of sparked this whole thing, so it’s fitting. We’ve come full circle and now we’re all talking about blue dicks. Thank you to everyone who listened, who shared, who tweeted, who left a comment or otherwise engaged with the podcast. I had a lot of fun putting that first episode together and I’m so happy to hear that people enjoyed listening to it. Second, the podcast has an official email! Send your comments, questions, theories, feedback or whatever to contact@iceplanetpod.com. Check out the pod next week when Isabel of Romance Sparks Joy joins me to discuss Barbarian Lover.

This is happening folks! Thanks for joining me for this bonkers endeavor. For the first episode, we go over just what the Ice Planet Barbarians series is, how I discovered (and why I can't leave. it. alone!) and dig into the very first book of the series, Ice Planet Barbarians. We'll meet Georgie and Vektal, the de-facto leaders of the tribe; discover the joy of resonance, and, yes, the blue dicks. I know what ya'll are here for. Sit back and enjoy! Be sure to listen in next week when I'll be joined by guests, Bobbi and Ellen from The Lusty Intellectuals. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?
