Literarily Speaking

We already know what you're going to say, but we promise to get our other episodes out on time...maybe. Welcome to Literarily Speaking, the podcast where Hanah and Emma talk about books! This weeks, the girls deconstruct the psyches of those people that call themselves Serious Writers. Personally, we consider ourselves Silly Writers, so we can't relate. Plus, pulling the Scooby Doo Ghost Mask off...

Who doesn't love a good bowl of popcorn? Except that this is a book podcast, so when we say popcorn, we obviously mean plot! On today's episode, Emma and Hanah talk ideas. More specifically, they talk making your idea (the kernel) into a fully realized plot (the popcorn). Are you with us now? GOOD! Because that's not all! The gals also give you a review of Harper L. Wood's The Coven! (oooh, spooky...

Well hey howdy-doo, dear listener! We're on a podcast release streak and we hope you're enjoying the consistency! On this week's episode, Emma and Hanah talk characters. More specifically, they talk about their biggest character pet peeves. From pointless side characters to characters whose only personality trait is to misunderstand people, the girls have a lot to say. Plus, a little chat on chara...

A timely episode release? Who is she? She's Literarily Speaking, with your hosts Hanah and Emma! On this week's (on-time) episode, the girls talk world-building: what it is, what it entails, and how it looks across a variety of books. Plus, a discussion on info-dumping (kind of like this episode description). So grab your book and get over here!

We're not late to release episode 2, you guys are just really early. Welcome back to Literarily Speaking! This week, Emma and Hanah cover a variety of topics, from writing kinks in novels to author hot takes (and why you should keep those hot takes off of TikTok). Plus, the girls determine their writing styles: planner or pantser. Grab a book, a cuppa, a snack, and press play!

Once upon a time, two girls decided to stream their consciousness onto a digital platform and thus, Literarily Speaking was born. The two girls, named Hanah and Emma, were named the Queens of Podcasting and Also The People with the Best Book Opinions in the Entire Universe. It was a heavy burden to bear, but they did it admirably. They decided to discuss plots on their most recent podcasting episo...

What's that over there! It's Emma and Hanah, back with a brand new podcast! From the girls who brought you the Trans-Continental Tea comes Literarily Speaking, a podcast about all things books: reading them, writing them, judging them, and more! On today's teaser, the girls chat life updates, genre preferences, and tell listeners what to expect in future episodes. Plus, a brief lesson on purple pr...

We're hoping if we release two episodes in one day, you'll stop looking at us like that for being so late! On this episode, Hanah & Emma talk Revenge Bodies - what is the concept behind them? What are the ugly truths hiding behind them? Plus, other dating perspectives and the importance of who you surround yourself with. Get over here, ya nut!

If you squint, it won't look like we took a month to release this next episode! Back by popular demand (in this case, our own), its's the TCT! This episode, Emma & Hanah talk all things Books! Do you love to read? This one's for you! Do you hate books and the written word in general? Well you're reading this episode description, aren't you?! Okay, enough rambling. Come sip with us!

Oh hey there, TEAm, didn't see ya there. Don't mind us, uploading this episode weeks after we were supposed to. Nope, nothing to see here... Okay, you caught us. But hey, give us a break! We've been busy working on our summer bodies, by you know, existing! This week, Emma and Hanah get real about summer and the expectations of what a Summer Bod should look like (hint: it's the body you already hav...

Heckin' heck, TEAm, it sure has been a minute! We apologize for our absence, we strive to bring you the hottest tea but today's is apparently iced. Now that Emma is settling in Europe, the TCT hopes to bring you those consistent weekly episodes you know and love. For now, enjoy this quicktea where Hanah and Emma catch you up on their latest goings-on, from ordering espresso in Italian-ish to Hanah...

Hey there, TEAm. Did you miss us? We missed you. You know how it is these days: one minute you're recording a podcast episode, the next you're screaming into the ether about things out of your control. But hey, we're all together now and that's what matters! This week, Emma and Hanah talk assimilation: to new countries, cities, cultures, cardio, etc. How should you integrate yourself into local cu...

Ten dollars to the first person who can guess the theme of this week's TCT episode! No takers? Alright, we'll tell you: dealing with difficult people! We know, it was vague. Hanah and Emma understand how working with, knowing, and generally being aware of the existence of difficult people can be....difficult. So join them as they talk how they deal with them, plus Emma's unfortunate night out on t...

Wow TEAm, here we are again. Can you believe? This week, Hanah & Emma want to talk about a topic that's plaguing the nation: Hustle Culture. Whether you're a #GirlBoss or a #CantStopWontStop kind of person, we just want you to consider one thing: Hustle Culture is not conducive to long-term success. "WHAT?!" you yell aloud in your empty room that you're still working in because everyone else went...

*Gesticulates wildly in an attempt to distract you from how late this episode is* Okay TEAm, you caught us. We're weeks late with this episode. We're so sorry, we know you're not mad...just disappointed. And honestly, we understand. The reasons why will be made clear in the next episode. BUT for now, we gave you an extra long and extra hot cup of tea to tide you over! This week, Emma gives in and...

Hi, our name's the TCT and we're perpetually late (hiiii TCTTTTT). Okay TEAm, buckle up cuz we have one heck of a doozy on our hands this week. Topic is: Gym Culture! Hanah and Emma have mentioned aspects of this in passing, but the TCT wanted to give you a real honest roundtable (er...roundzoom?) discussion on our thoughts and feelings about the fitness phenomenons gripping the nation. Plus, Hana...

Oh hey, TEAm. Don't look at us like that, we know this week's episode is late. But what we also know is that you're in for a treat wiiiittth...Quicktea number 17! In this Quicktea, Emma and Hanah try something different for a change: talking about things they don't like. Oh wait, they also do that...but this time, it's about things in relationships and friendships that give them The Ick. From sere...

Look at that, two episodes released within the same week of each other! It must be a new record. Welcome to the TCT, the show where Emma & Hanah speak and assume it's factual and accurate. This week, the girls take on the persona of Ask Polly and answer (random strangers') questions about friendships. Plus, Hanah's harrowing experience with a sus bartender and bouncer and Emma's attempts to hold t...

The girls...the girls are back in town! And they're bringing Toxicitea Part 2 with 'em! Hanah & Emma always have more to say on toxic behavior in the romantic sphere, so this week they made it a point to bring toxicity to the longsode stage rather than in a Quicktea. Join the girls as they talk Hanah's shocking new hobby, manipulation, the fallacy that hot people don't get cheated on, and more! Gr...

Heckin' Happy New Year, TEAm! Welcome to the TCT's very first, very extra special episode of 2022! We are so happy and excited that you've stuck with us this long and continue to feed our fragile egos by continuing to listen and interact with us. This week, Emma & Hanah discuss just a whole plethora of topics: favorite games, saucy work parties, future career plans, their regret over wearing a hoo...

Oh hey, we didn't see you there. Well, while you're here, you may as well stick around and listen to the latest Quicktea episode, wherein Hanah and Emma discuss the finer details of a toxic relationship. In part 1, the girls address a specific aspect of social media in relationships. We're not going to tell you which part because then you won't have to listen and we want you to also hear their com...

"Emma and Hanah," you've been asking us, "WHERE were you for the abroadsode? Stop teasing us!" Okay, we've held you in suspense long enough. The TCT was in....COPENHAGEN! And boy did we come back with some stories for you. From un-openable doors to Emma's harem of husbands, there's a lot to be found in the Abroadsode. Get your passports ready and hop in!

Hellooooo TEAm! Did you miss us? We missed you! Emma and Hanah have been just so utterly inundated with work, school, being abroad, and generally existing, but they're back (and slightly hungover) with a Quicktea! Do you remember your clubbing phase? Taking hours to get ready just to sweat on a crowded dance floor, pay too much for drinks, and regret wearing the shoes you chose? Pepperidge Farm re...

Well Well Well, if it isn't the TCT back again with another episode! Aren't you soooo excited to see (er...hear) us? We're excited to talk to you! Or is it talking at you? Potato, Potato. This week, Hanah & Emma talk about the scariest and spookiest thing that even Halloween can't bring you: Adulting! The girls chit and chat the woes of being a Grown Human with Responsibilities that we can all rel...

Dun da da DAAHHH! It's a Quicktea! And boys oh boys does the TCT have a surprise for you! Hanah and Emma have had a lot to say about dating: what to do (Hanah's expertise), what not do do (Emma's forte), etc. BUT! The TCT has never before featured the male dating perspective...UNTIL NOW. That's right, TEAm, this week's Quicktea is taken over by the Testostertonies, a male-hosted podcast that has s...
