About We Shall Talk Podcast

We Shall Talk Podcast The Romance Podcast in Canada Hosted by Canadian content creator and podcast host Deborah Quevillon, We Shall Talk is your go-to podcast for all things romance. From the books keeping us up at night to the screen adaptations bringing our favourite stories to life, we're talking romance news, deep dives, and the stories we can't stop swooning over. We cover romance novels, book-to-screen adaptations, romantic movies and TV shows, casting news, industry buzz, and the fandoms that bring us together. Through thoughtful deep dives, candid reactions, exclusive interviews, and conversations with authors, actors, creatives, and special guests, we go beyond the story to meet the people who make romance magic happen. Whether we're unpacking the latest bookish obsession, exploring the making of a beloved adaptation, or sitting down with the voices behind the romance stories we love, there's always something to talk about. Proudly Canadian and powered by unapologetic fangirl energy, We Shall Talk is your invitation to pull up a chair, grab your favourite drink, and join the conversation. Because romance isn't just about the stories we love — it's about the people, the connections, and the feelings that stay with us long after The End. No gatekeeping. Just great conversations, behind-the-scenes insights, and a whole lot of love for romance. As Violet Bridgerton said it best: We shall do what women do. We shall talk.
