ABOUT THE PODCAST
the books,
the banter,
and the spoiler
alarm.
Genre’d is a weekly book podcast and reading platform hosted by sisters Elyse and Katy for curious readers who want to read more widely, discover something unexpected, and have a few opinions along the way.
What started as nonstop conversations about books turned into a weekly podcast
You don’t have to be a fantasy reader, a romance reader, a thriller reader, or a literary fiction reader. Some of the best books we’ve found were the ones we never expected to love.
So we read across genres, talk about them honestly, and help you figure out what might be worth trying next.
Smart, but never
serious.
We love a gorgeously written novel and a deep-dive breakdown, but we also love a good bit. Expect hot takes, big laughs, and zero pretension.
Opinionated and proud.
We rate, we rank, we side-eye. Nothing is off limits (except maybe spoilers in the first 20 minutes).
Like a group chat but better.
Come for the books, stay for the tangents.

We get into all of it
Every episode is designed to give you enough context to decide whether a book is for you, even if it isn’t the kind of book you normally pick up.
Spoiler-Free First
The first 15-20 minutes are yours. We'll keep it clean.
One-Line Plot Summaries
Because sometimes you just need the vibe check.
Trope Rankings
We rank the good, the bad, and the unhinged.
End Debates
Was it perfect? Ruined? Iconic? We have thoughts.
Off Book Interviews
We sit down with our favorite authors (and other bookish minds) each month.
Very Long TBRs
Our lists are infinite. Our willpower is not.
