Description

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains lewd language and spoilers!

Heartstopper by Alice Oseman is not a smutty series, but it is packed with teenage angst and yearning, the building bocks of a classic slow burn. Fortunately, there are no 500 year-old immortals picking up humans 481 years their junior.

Jessicunt and K read and discuss volumes 1 and 2, the beginnings of queer power couple Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson. Despite these two being the youngest protagonists the hosts have met so far in this podcast (thankfully), they’re also the most mature, loving, and authentic.

Romance is alive and well, and the kids are alright. Sorry for the mic issues, the hosts are not alright. They are fan girls too worried about fictional relationships to check their audio.
