Overbooked & Opinionated is your new favorite chaotic book club podcast — where three best friends with wildly different reading tastes and way too many opinions dive into everything from romantasy and fantasy to indie gems and underhyped reads.
Hosted by Lys, Poo, and Gammy, this podcast is all about loud laughs, hot takes, unfiltered reviews, and the kind of bookish debates you’d expect in your most unhinged group chat.
📚 New episodes drop every Thursday — come join the chaos.
Episode 10: The Great Book Debate: Brain Rot, Consumerism & Gatekeeping
“Just because I read a book with dragons in it doesn’t mean I’m not thinking critically. Why do we keep pretending that fantasy and romance aren’t literature? If a story about magic systems and messy heroines teaches me about grief, power, and empathy — isn’t that doing exactly what ‘true literature’ is supposed to do?”
This week on Overbooked and Opinionated, we tackle Dylan Joseph’s essay on anti-intellectualism in the book world. From the rise of “brain rot” reads to the endless special editions flooding our feeds, we ask: is the bookish internet really killing literature, or just making it more accessible?
