The Inner Circle Podcast

In this episode, we break down Bridgerton Season 4. The moments that had us screaming, snoozing and side-eyeing. Also did we actually like Benedict this season? Was this the best season? So much to unpack…
And then of course, we spiral into Season 5. Do we have strong opinions? Absolutely. Do we have theories we’re probably way too confident about? Also yes. Are some of them unhinged? Without a doubt.

Sarah J. Maas finally appeared on Call Her Daddy, and we have a LOT to say.
In this episode, we’re sharing our immediate reactions to the interview - what stood out, what surprised us, and the moments that had us pausing, rewinding, and texting each other in all caps. This is a breakdown of our thoughts before diving deeper into theories and analysis.
Think of this as the debrief before the spiral.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we unpack the theories, implications, and everything this could mean moving forward…

This week, we dive headfirst into the most unhinged, controversial, and downright offensive bad reviews of A Court of Thorns and Roses. From readers who “just didn’t get the hype” to those personally victimised by fae politics, Rhysand, or the sheer number of wingspans mentioned — nothing is off limits.
We’ll read real low-star reviews, react in real time, and decide: are these reviewers brave truth-tellers… or simply wrong? Expect dramatic readings, hot takes, defence arguments for our favourite characters, and plenty of chaotic bookish energy.

In this week’s episode, we dive into one of the most mysterious and debated characters in the series: Mor. She’s powerful, loyal, and an integral part of the Inner Circle—but is she as transparent as she seems?
We discuss Mor’s backstory, her relationships, and the moments in the series that raise questions about her honesty and motivations. From her long history with the Court of Nightmares to the secrets she’s kept from those closest to her, we unpack whether her actions come from self-protection, loyalty, or something else entirely.
Is Mor a trustworthy narrator of her own story, or are there pieces we still don’t fully understand? Join us as we break down the evidence, share our theories, and decide whether we’re firmly on Team Mor—or still a little suspicious.

This episode, Georgie and Adalia are stepping into dangerous territory 👀 We’re talking all things Chaol Westfall from Throne of Glass — one of the most divisive characters in the entire Maasverse.
Why is Chaol so controversial? Why does he inspire such intense loyalty and such intense hate? And the big question: is the Chaol slander actually deserved, or are we being a little unfair?
We unpack his choices, his flaws, his growth (or lack of it), and why readers tend to judge him so differently compared to other male characters in the series. From moral rigidity and messy reactions to trauma, to whether he’s held to a harsher standard than everyone else — nothing is off-limits.
Expect hot takes, nuance, a little defence, a little dragging, and probably some moments that will have you yelling at your headphones.
Whether you’re a proud Chaol defender, a lifelong hater, or deeply conflicted — this one’s for you.
