Romantic comedies. Sweet, predictable, and exactly
what we crave to disconnect from the real world.
Screw the advertising patriarchy. I quit my job,
and I need crafts. My sister, Claire. Ambitious,
talented, but I could see burnout coming a mile
away. Work would never actually make her happy.
She needed to learn to let love into her life.
Shannon, why is there a lumberjack in your backyard?
If there was one thing I learned from all my
years narrating romance audiobooks, it was this.
There's a formula to romance. Whether you're
a bookish mortal swept into a fey war, or a marketing
director forced to slow down in a charming small
town, there's a rom -com trope for that. I don't
know how to exist if I'm not working. I can't
shut my brain off. I need to do something. Or
somebody. Have you met my neighbor Tony? I see
what you're doing here. You're trying to rom
-com me. You literally took Tony to a sex museum.
What was a meddling sister supposed to do? I
don't know. Bring me some cheese dip and let
me live my life. I know what you're thinking.
Romantic comedies are great, but real life doesn't
work like that. But I'm here to tell you, maybe
it does. The Rom -Com Formula, a scripted romantic
comedy audio series. In production now. Follow
us on Instagram at romcomformula for heart -fluttering
updates, behind -the -scenes magic, and probably
a montage or two.
