Minisode: A Preview Episode of "Trope Thursday with Kaytee and Bunmi"
Every once in a while, we love to drop a full episode sample of the kind of content you can get over on Patreon, and this month we are sharing our newest offering: Trope Thursday with Kaytee and Bunmi. In this debut episode, we are exploring "Debut Novels That Blew Us Away!" Here's what you'll find inside:
Welcome, friends! This month, we are debuting a new patron bonus that I hope you will LOVE! Trope Thursday with Kaytee and Bunmi was a brainchild for about 4 months before this debut, and I hope you can tell the time and attention that went into it. Every month, we will focus on a "trope of the month" and have regular segments that you'll come to know and love. This episode is supposed to be INTERACTIVE. When you've listened, come tell us about your favorite debut novels! Or ask Bumni questions! Or tell us what trope you'd like us to explore! All of that is great fodder for future episodes - although we have roughly 4 years worth of ideas right now, ha!
This inaugural episode is a bit longer than they will normally be, but that's because I want to introduce you to and let you get to know Bunmi Ishola and how this new episode came to be!
