Guard your loins ladies and gentlemen! Mr. Savage (Nat’s husband) is this week’s extra special guest and he’s giving us his take on Zoe Blake’s Scandals of the Father.

S2E7 - 5000 Nights of Obsession - Drethi Anis May 15, 2023

First off, welcome back, Trigger Tribe! We are so excited to be recording once more. We’ve missed y’all as well as each other during our hiatus, but baby, we’re back! We hope to maintain a more regular recording schedule over the summer while Tori is out of class. This week we did an impulse recording on Drethi Anis’s 5,000 Nights of Obsession. We both read it separately as it just came out, and we loved it so much we just had to talk about it, so why not record the conversation? I do want to make one correction for a mistake in the recording. We continually use sociopath instead of psychopath when we’re discussing Axel, and the correct term is psychopath. Lots of well researched reasons for that, but we made a mistake so I wanted to address it. Now, on to the episode!

P.S: We apologize for the weird echo on Tori's side of the recording, we've been having some technical difficulties with her microphone and are hoping to have it all fixed for the next episode.

We will continue to upload as often as we can but for the foreseeable future (February/March) there won’t be a set schedule. Please forgive and bear with us for the time being and we promise we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled smutty programming before you know it. Love you all! - Nat and Tori

S2E2 - Intro to Dark Romance (Patreon Exclusive Bonus Episode) Jan 05, 2023

Hello and Happy New Year everyone!

We have decided to release this Patreon exclusive episode to everyone as a New Year’s Gift! If you are a part of the Patreon, you’re more than welcome to skip this one because you’ve probably already heard it but if you aren’t a part of our Patreon, this is a little taste of what you are missing! We really liked the way this episode came out, so we are going to replace the original Intro To Dark Romance Episode with this one as that was one of our first episodes so it’s not our best work. This New and Improved version of Intro to Dark Romance is a much better first impression ice breaker. We hope you enjoy this extra special Patreon Exclusive! Happy listening and Happy New Year!
