ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A podcast where we read, share our love of, and talk about smut. Plot is Optional is a (mostly) lighthearted book club style podcast in which cohosts Alli and Trey (and anyone else they can rope into being a guest host) read and discuss a new piece of erotic fiction each episode. They aim to cover a variety of books and other media, while trying to include works that may otherwise not get the spotlight. Many of the selections feature nontraditional characters or relationships, LGBTQIA+ characters and themes, or come from diverse perspectives. PiO is a celebration of erotic fiction in its many forms and the joy of talking about the weird, the wonderful, the beautiful, and of course the smutty.
