We\u2019re so thrilled to be able to celebrate this remarkable man\u2014born in a drainpipe, named himself, turned to a life of spectacle stealing\u2014with all of you! This year, we\u2019re so excited to have friend of the pod and of Cravens, Sanjana (follow her on TikTok at baskinsuns), to chat with us about her landmark research: A Comprehensive Categorization of Kleypas Heroes. We laugh, we get serious, and yes, we even talk about Zachary Bronson. \u2014 calm down, Bronsonettes. \n\nAlso \u2014 it just feels right that we\u2019re announcing Fated Mates Live on Derek Craven Day! Join us in Brooklyn, NY, at the gorgeous William Vale Hotel, on March 23rd! Join us along with a collection of special guests and a roomful of other romance-obsessed listeners for a night of romance shenanigans at a live taping of Fated Mates! While we\u2019re never sure quite how it\u2019s going to go, we can guarantee there will be books, booze and bantr\u2026and you\u2019ll leave full of joy from all the fun. We\u2019ve even got The Ripped Bodice on hand to sell books, and the room will be available for hanging with other Firebirds after the live!
