Recorded haphazardly for No Mean Radio.

A Gen-Z veteran of spicy fiction and a millennial first-timer team up to explore the wild, weird and addictive universe of modern spicy literature.

Hosts Gayle and Rebecca delve head first into the world of Spice in the first episode of Read Our Lips.

Join them this January as they dissect ‘The Deal’ by Elle Kennedy, each week will see the girls read & invite you to join in the discussion a quarter book at a time.
