Meeting change with the curiosity of lovers

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

To romance the threshold is to meet change the way lovers meet, with curiosity instead of dread, courting what's trying to become rather than bracing against it.

This is a show about that crossing, and about romance novels as the stories that court it most openly, the genre that walks its characters through the hardest passages and out the other side into union and new life.

Through solo episodes and conversations with romance authors and others who work at the threshold, I read stories for what they teach about our own crossings: how to cross them, what they ask of us, what waits on the far side.
