Episode 15: Fan Service with Mellie (@uhbucky) Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

This week, we are joined by our favorite fan editor: Mellie, aka @uhbucky! You may know her as the creator of some of the most beautiful, cinematic, awe inspiring fan edits (that have translated into a job at THE HBO). We talk about fandom, what made Heated Rivalry so editable, and how she's grown into her own as an editor. We are, in a word, obsessed.

Episode 14: Make Us Watch Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back to Craft Cottage! Today, Ada takes a look at the techniques that made "Heated Rivalry" (the show) so. damn. watchable. Because it borrowed some incredible elements from "prestige TV" and served it to us on a shiny queer romance platter. Come for the discourse, stay to learn just how many shows Ruby hasn't seen (it's a lot...but that's ok!)

Episode 13: What's new with Rachel Reid? Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

Rachel Reid joins us on the pod this week! You may know her as the reason we are ALL collectively in love with Heated Rivalry and the Game Changers universe. She's the creator, she's the storyteller, she is MOTHER. We were so happy to chat with Rachel about what's been going on with her (she's been just a bit busy these days). We get the inside scoop on SNL, on that beautiful dinner in NYC, and on what this sudden rise to fame has felt. Plus, we answer - once and for all - the age old question of: "what. color?"

Episode 11: Books to Fill the Heated-Rivalry Shaped Void Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

If you're like us, you're probably still living in the hangover that has been left by Heated Rivalry. If you're also like us (and like a lot of people) you've (re)discovered romance and the magic of the genre. So if you're wanting to explore some romance books that are perfect companions to the Game Changers series, this episode is for you! We're joined by Esther (@esther.reads) who is the most prolific reader we know and walks us through everything you need to read based on the books you loved in the Game Changers series. And we talk mozzarella sticks. Like...a lot.

Full list of books (and where you can get them) are in the Episode Notes at www.looncallpodcast.com

Episode 10: Deconstructing the Tuna Melt Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to the first edition of Craft Cottage, a new segment where Ruby and Ada talk all things craft and the art of creating romance. This week, we take the Tuna Melt scene and break down why it's so important to the narrative of Heated Rivalry, how it moves the plot forward, and why any other ending to that scene would not have given us the same story. So pull up a Muskoka chair, grab a ginger ale, and let's dig in!

Show notes

This week, we are joined by the godfathers of "Heated Rivalry" (and all around amazing humans) Brendan Brady and Jacob Tierney! We talk about making the show that has turned the world on its axis, romance book adaptations, their production company, and how bachelorette parties are where we should all get our decor tips!

Episode 8: Choreographing Intimacy with Chala Hunter Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

This week, we are joined by the one and only Chala Hunter, intimacy coordinator and future Order of Canada winner (probably...we don't know...but if it were up to us...). We sat down with Chala to chat intimacy coordination, the importance of communication, and how jazz helps her relax. Safe to say, our week was MADE.

Episode 7: Getting Intimate Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

Ruby and Ada discuss the thing that's been most talked about...yes, we're talking about all those intimate moments in season 1! How do they compare to the book and what do they mean? We've never dissected sex so intently - Ruby even built a spreadsheet (it's live in the Episode Notes section of our website!)
