The Bookish Hour
Your new literary podcast!
We talk about all things BOOKS, in all genres; romance, fantasy, thrillers, romatasy, mystery, dark academia, book recommendations, our favorite books (and our least favorite books) buddy reads (that hopefully you want to join along in), bookstagram/booktok with the drama that comes with it and lots interviews with people in the book world.
You might know us from Thirty Talks but after a few weeks we realized that we really still talk about books mostly so we needed a new name. We have combined the best parts from The Smutty Book Podcast (no longer available) and The Thirty Talks Podcast and come up we a NEW and IMPROVED podcast.
Third time is a charm, right? And trust us, this will be the last change (its hard changing a podcast).
Welcome to The Bookish Hour with Jor & Fab...
The Bookish Hour
Margin Notes: Bookish Catch Up
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re catching up for the first time in months and trading the curated feed for the full picture—Sicily’s stunning balconies and overflowing bins, the bliss of a 10-person dinner over a dance floor, and the $400 logo lesson that pushed us to own our brand instead of renting one.
Then we go inside the platforms: shifting Instagram aesthetics, making your own handwriting into a font, and choosing to treat the grid like a scrapbook instead of a scoreboard. On TikTok, the plan is simple and hard—post three times a day through year’s end, lead with value (recs, “if you like this show, read this”), and let small wins stack. The theme underneath it all is fit: smaller weddings, tighter formats, clearer promises, warmer colors, and a voice that sounds like you even when you’re nervous. That’s how you build something you can keep.
If this resonates, follow along for more romance chats, book-to-screen breakdowns, and creator behind-the-scenes. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves spicy books, and leave a quick review to help more readers find us.
