But the Book Was Better - Coming Soon! May 28, 2022

Check out this new podcast coming the The Basic Moms Media Channel!

Hey, I’m Claire - self proclaimed book nerd. And I’m Julie - a streaming addict. This is, But the Book Was Better. The truth is, we both love to read and binge watch all the things.

In this podcast, we’ll be reading books, then watching their screen adaptations. We’ll cover some classics (like the Godfather) and some of the newer stuff everyone is talking about (like Where the Crawdads Sing.) Sometimes we’ll be talking about shows, sometimes movies - it all depends. Yea, let’s get wild!

We’ll break down each book… why we chose it, what was changed in the screen adaptation, if the changes make sense and if they added or detract from the overall plot of the story. You get the idea!

And ultimately, we’ll debate which was better. It’ll be the book, it’s always the book. Well, they’ll have to tune in to find out!

If there’s a book you want us to cover here on But the Book Was Better, send us an email at TheBasicMomsMedia@gmail.com. Our first episode will be released on June 15th!

In the meantime, come hang out with us on Facebook and Instagram.

Introducing: Burning For Bridgerton Mar 11, 2022

Dearest Listener,

It has been said that season 2 of Bridgerton will be more scandalous than the last.

In anticipation, we podcasters have been honing our skills and sharpening our knives. For all of you.

Daphne found her duke, but is there anyone who can tame the rake, Viscount Bridgerton?

As the members of the ton gather to watch season two of Bridgerton on Netflix, we can not be the only ones wondering… will the Viscount take a wife? …will the Duke return, even just for one scene? …will the identity of Lady Whistledown herself be revealed to all?

We may be in for a considerable scandal, indeed!

Join us here on Burning for Bridgerton each week as we dissect and over-analyze each episode of season 2 of Bridgerton.

Yours Truly,

Lady Claire and Lady Julie of The Basic Moms
