Romancing the Threshold

A Podcast

Romance novels are doing the most serious psychological work in fiction right now, and almost nobody is talking about why.

Romancing the Threshold explores romance novels as threshold medicine: the shadow work disguised as pleasure, the collective dreaming hidden in genre fiction.

Through solo episodes and conversations with romance authors, host Vanessa Couto brings depth psychology, myth, and archetypal astrology into the stories millions of women are consuming without knowing why they can't stop.

The door says romance. The room holds something deeper.
