Podcast in Death

Faithless in Death was a book that deals with some really heavy subjects, and pushes some political hot buttons during a time when people are extra sensitive at having their political hot buttons pushed. So, because of that, the first half hour or so of this show, we take time [...]

This week we have an episode that we put together at the last minute for reasons that will be explained in the episode. So, in this episode, we talk about the various book covers from the J.D. Robb "In Death" series. Mostly, we are looking at what we would call [...]

This book is about a crazy Handmaids Tale-like cult. This is about power and control, but it's also about freedom, mostly because a lot of what happened in this book happened because of people trying to get out from under that power and control or... trying to find, get or [...]

We're taking on the topic of the Rumor that Wouldn't Die, also known as "Nora Roberts Must Have Ghost Writers." This rumor is ridiculous and stupid, and people need to stop spreading it. We read a review of "Shadows in Death" that came out after we did our "We Review [...]

We’re back with one of our most popular topics: We Review the Reviews! This time, we are reviewing the reviews of Betrayal in Death! Mostly all stuff that we hear all the time like Eve is unlikeable and there are gratuitous sex scenes, and the books are not realistic. Also, [...]

Those of you who have listened to this show from the beginning will know that from episode one, a goal of this podcast was to eventually be able to talk with Susan Ericksen since both AJ and Tara are such huge fans of her work. This week, it happened!!! As [...]

This week, we review Betrayal in Death! In this one, everyone is betraying everyone, and both Roarke and Peabody are feeling all the feels and need some TLC from Eve. Jen goes off on a rant about this latest conflict between Peabody and McNab and how it's 100% Peabody's fault, [...]

On this episode we talk about a topic that was suggested by listener Jennifer when she CALLED THE NUMBER!! "Eve-isms" are the things that Eve says where she's maybe mixing metaphors or not understanding pop culture references. Though, lately, Eve has said that she might be mixing metaphors or other [...]

On this weeks episode we have a special guest, AJ's daughter Caitlin Arend! Caitlin is an actor, singer, cosplayer, and and owner of All Aglow Parties and Events in Southern California. On today's episode, Caitlin is putting her Theater training to work by helping us evaluate Audiobook narrators! AJ and [...]

Hey Everyone! This week, we're bringing you the second of three "Podcast in Death Outtakes" Episodes! If you listen to this show for any length of time, you know that we are all HUGE fangirls, whether it is for this particular series, or other fandoms, and we fangirl a LOT [...]

Hey Everyone! This week, we're bringing you the second of three "Podcast in Death Outtakes" Episodes! If you listen to this show for any length of time, you know that we are all HUGE fangirls, whether it is for this particular series, or other fandoms, and we fangirl a LOT [...]

    Happy New Year, Everyone! Hey Everyone! This week, we’re bringing you the first of three “Podcast in Death Outtakes” Episodes! As you all know, we tend to talk a LOT, so we have a lot of outtakes. Most of those are off topic, but occasionally, we have on [...]

Happy Holidays, Everyone! We hope you are having a great holiday season so far! Since this episode is being released on Christmas Day, we thought: what better topic to cover on Christmas than GIFTS!! We talk about giving and receiving gifts, both personally and in the "In Death" series. There [...]

This week’s episode is kind of a two-parter! The first part we recorded in October, meaning to play it while we were on our holiday vacation. But, a few topics came up between October and December, so we recorded an addendum to this episode to address all of those. In [...]

This week, we review Judgment in Death, and this is another LONG episode! Lots of complicated Roarke feelings and marital disagreements between Eve and Roarke that needs to be unpacked. Also a lot of "Pissed off and Problematic Roarke," though both Eve and Roarke are being dumbasses in this book. [...]

This week we talk about what has become known as a "YANNI." This is an acronym for "Yet Another Noticeable Nora Inconsistency" or "Yet Another Nonesensical Nora Inconsistency." It was just our term for some of the little (or big) inconsistencies that Nora made in the books. We also go [...]

This week, we review Witness in Death, and again...it's a LONG episode because so much happens! First of all, A.J. points out all the times that when she first read this book, she thought Roarke was a Dick. One of those times being that he almost ruined the perfectly lovely [...]

This week we talk about Eve's many "Marriage Rules!" It's a great bit of comedy relief in the series that we all love, but also, they are pretty solid relationship rules in general. BONUS!! Since we had extra time, we decide to ask each other some "Get to Know You" [...]

This week, we review Loyalty in Death, and we apologize to you all ahead of time, but so much happens in this book that this is a LONG episode! We are introduced to Peabody's brother Zeke in this episode, and we love him! Also, Peabody and McNab finally end their [...]

This week, we talk about Fan Fiction, and we are super excited about it! We love fan fiction! We discuss the joys of writing and reading fanfic as well as some of the problems with it and what we personally love or hate about fanfic. We discuss whether or not [...]

This week, we review J.D. Robb's Conspiracy in Death, a book that pretty much shows up in just about everyone's Top 5 or Top 10 from the whole "In Death" series. There is just so much great stuff in this book, Highs and Lows and lots of angst but also [...]

We talk in this episode about some of the details that we know about the Urban Wars, and why things may have happened as they did. We also talk about Summerset having been a medic during the Urban Wars and why that might have happened. We go off on a [...]

We review "Midnight in Death." This is J.D. Robb's first "In Death" novella. We're a bit disappointed in it because we want it to be a full length novel! We love the gift giving, we love that Summerset and Eve have called a truce for Christmas, and how Galahad murdered [...]

Throughout the years that we have been members of this fandom, we have seen every criticism of the "In Death" series that could possibly be written. In this podcast we read some of the recent reviews of "Shadows in Death" and address some of these criticisms.

This book is essentially about GIFTS! We love that Eve keeps telling Peabody not to shop, then Eve ends up buying a gift for someone else on her list. Both Eve and Peabody are put through the wringer on this one, and we're not sure how we feel about that [...]
