Experience Slow Burn Podcast
Our Story
Slowburn was born from a love of books, deep conversation, and the desire to create a cozy, defiant corner of the world where stories and people unfold slowly and honestly. As creative renegades, we believe in radical curiosity, creative rebellion, and building something beautiful in the in-between. Hosted by Mis and Steph, this slow burn podcast explores what happens when we stop rushing and start revealing.
Meet the Team
Steph : Host
Mis: Host
Mis: Host
Steph has a soft spot for dystopian worlds and a slow burn that sizzles. As a creative renegade, she's always ready to start a rebellion—fictional or otherwise—and gravitates toward fierce female leads who take no prisoners. Whether it’s a banned book or a battle-scarred heroine, Steph loves to dive into deep conversations about these themes (and she’s probably finished the book before you even started, especially if she’s discussing it on her slow burn podcast).
Mis: Host

Mis: Host
Lifelong learner, dark romance enthusiast, and unapologetic book devourer (yes, she really can read a book a day), Mis is all about the books that challenge, enchant, and haunt. As a reformed school librarian with a passion for shadow wielders and slow-burn plots, she brings a sharp eye and a smoldering curiosity to every episode of the Slow Burn podcast. Mis thrives in the company of creative renegades, diving headfirst into stories that are banned, brooding, or a little bit witchy, ensuring every deep conversation is as engaging as the tales she loves.

Episode 2: Bookish and Unbothered
In this episode, we lean hard into obsession—the delicious kind that makes your pulse race and your brain spiral. We talk about how sexy the word “Mine” is when it shows up in a story, how we actually rate our reads (because, let’s be real, stars don’t always cut it), and why trigger warnings matter.
We dig into what happens when books don’t warn us—especially when it comes to things like self-deprecation—and how that hits different. Plus, we go off on all the tangents you’ve come to expect, with plenty of chaos and bookish hot takes along the way.
This is messy, real, and a little unhinged…just the way we like it.

Episode 3:The Things We’re Not Supposed to Say Out Loud
This week on Slowburn, we’re saying the quiet parts out loud. From intrusive daydreams to guilty-pleasure reads, awkward tropes that happen in real life, and the secondhand embarrassment of spicy audiobooks in public—we’re spilling it all.
It’s weird, it’s raw, it’s hilarious, and it’s exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
Episode 4: The Uncomfortable Power of Story
Stories have power — to heal, to harm, to shape culture. In this episode of Slowburn, we explore words that give us the ick, the hidden consequences of censorship, and what we lose when stories disappear. Plus, a confession booth for the tropes we secretly hate, and a challenge: what banned or missing story would you resurrect?
Episode 5: Chaos, Dragons, and Desire — with J.G. Gates
This week, we’re flying straight into the fire. 🐉 Author J.G. Gates joins us to talk Dragons and Aces — a story where dominance meets desire, and every choice burns hotter than the last.
We dig into the line between power and vulnerability, the difference between writing spice that serves the story vs. spice that just scorches the page, and what it means to craft morally gray characters that still steal your heart.
It’s cozy chaos, fantasy heat, and a deep dive into how storytelling still has the power to make us blush — and think.
Grab your drink (wine, whiskey, or that dangerous third cup of coffee) and come get unfiltered with us.
🔥 Featuring: J.G. Gates
Episode 6: The Morally Gray, the Magnetic, and Madison Chase
This week, we’re joined by the incomparable duo Madison Chase — co-authors, dreamers, and unapologetic builders of dangerously irresistible men. Together, we dive deep into what makes a morally gray MMC so damn addictive — from the emotional scars that make them human, to the chaos that makes them unforgettable.
We talk writing villains with heart, why women crave complexity, and how the best love stories often live somewhere between redemption and ruin.
Grab your drink, get comfy, and let’s get a little unhinged with the queen of heat, heart, and heartbreak.
