Carried Away: The Conversation

About Carried Away: The Conversation

Hey, dreamers! Welcome to Carried Away: The Conversation — a books and life podcast hosted by Ashley, for readers who love to overshare and spiral beautifully. Every episode explores the intersections of literature and lived experience: from girlhood and identity to the existential chaos of being a book lover in a complicated world. We always start with a chapter and somehow end up somewhere else entirely — expect book talk, big feelings, tangents, laughs, and the kind of conversation you never want to end. Honestly? That's the whole point. Come get carried away. ✨ New episodes biweekly.

   A (Gothic) Sapphic Summer with Johanna van Veen

   Hiya Dreamers! I told y'all it was a Sapphic Summer! In this week's episode, I had the please of sitting with Johanna van Veen, author of "Blood on Her Tongue", "My Darling Dreadful Thing", and newest release, "Bone of My Bone". We uncover the dark, poetic depths of Gothic horror and sapphic desire—Johanna how body horror, historical truths, and queer identity intertwine in her haunting stories.This is truly one of my favorite episodes to date! I hope you enjoy it was much as I did!

   Overspilling with CHARLOTTE PARADISE

   Hiya, Dreamers! ✨ This week, Ashley sits down with Charlotte Paradise — author, screenwriter, and all-around storyteller — to talk about her novel Overspill. They get into the heart of what makes the book so powerful: womanhood, body autonomy, trauma, and the weight of societal expectations. It's a raw, honest conversation about the stories we tell, the words we choose, and what happens when the physical and emotional collide. This one will stay with you. 🎙️
