ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
She narrates romance novels for a living… so naturally, she thinks she can control one in real life.
In The Romcom Formula, a trope-obsessed narrator meddles in her sister’s love life, determined to spark a perfect neighbors-to-lovers romance with the hot handyman next door. Armed with forced proximity, slow-burn strategy, and wildly misplaced confidence, she sets the story in motion.
Unfortunately, real people don’t follow the script.
This is a fully scripted romantic comedy audio drama about what happens when romcom logic collides with reality… and refuses to behave.
Think Emily Henry meets Fleabag with a Hallmark twist and a narrator who won’t stop interfering.
