Show Notes
It’s time to journey back to the October 1988 issue of Romantic Times!
That’s right, we’re going all the way back to 1988, a time when one of us on the show wasn’t born yet. We’ve got absolutely appalling plots, some extremely luscious covers, and more – like Amanda’s engagement!
Congrats Amanda and Brian!
TW/CW: crappy family tales in the first 4 minutes, and overall, a number of references to enslavement, violence, colonialism, predatory behavior and assault in the reviews.

We also mentioned:
- Jonathan Bailey at the Emmys (Town & Country)
- Belle Starr (Wikipedia)
- Water Witching: Fact or Fake? (Farmers Almanac)
And you can see Amanda’s beautiful engagement ring on her Instagram!
