Hi! I’m Becky Feldman, and I’m as cheap as they come. I mean that as both a weakness and an innuendo. I think. Anyway, I host Too Stupid to Live, a podcast that reviews romance novels $5 and under.
Look, there's nothing like a good romance novel. And there's definitely nothing like a cheap romance novel. On each episode, incredible guests join me to have some stimulating discussions that will make you laugh AND blush.
Why Is the Podcast Called Too Stupid to Live?
I get asked this question a lot-ish. When I first started reading romance and was looking online to find a community of romance readers, “too stupid to live” (or TSTL) often described female protagonists who put themselves in dangerous situations in order to forward the plot of a story.
Readers would react, “Who makes SUCH DUMB choices in real life?!”
And, of course, in my brain, I would be screaming, “Me!”
But, instead of recollecting every dumb mistake I’ve ever made, it was just easier to title my romance podcast “Too Stupid to Live”.
