Have your heard of Matriarch Digital Media? No? Well get ready, because it just might become your next great source for podcasts.
Matriarch is a network that is the premiere destination for podcasts that understand, respect, encourage and uplift women.
We appreciate and celebrate women just as we are and where we are.
So far, they have two current podcasts with more on the way. There’s one even titled “Rom Com” and I’m very interested to hear what it’s about.

Laptop Cord Winders
I have one of these from Above the Fray, and it's great for keeping my MacBook cord contained and safe from being pulled or frayed. There are earbud winders, too! -SW

Don’t forget to share what super cool things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
I see that the google form isn’t that clear (sorry!) but I’ll be in London, York, and Edinburgh, and there are sections for all three cities. Drop a line, especially if you have suggestions for places to hold the meetup. I hope to see some of you there!
Beta heroes are major catnip here. I’ve read all but two of the historical novels mentioned and, surprisingly to me, quite a few of the contemporaries. Thanks, Amanda, for adding to my TBR pile!
To show how off I am with my dates (I thought my daughter started college classes a day after they actually did)-the first line of this post “It’s the last Sunday in August.”, had me thinking, “it’s Sunday? Am I going crazy??”. I looked at my calendar and realized that yes, it is actually Wednesday! Of course we did have the last Sunday, but that was a few days ago 😉
I looked over the list of beta heroes, and I’ve read 23 of them. Some of those other titles look pretty tempting!
@Maureen: Clearly I’m the one going crazy, haha! Thanks for the catch!
I wonder how they define “beta” heroes. Some of the ones I’ve read on that list aren’t what I would call beta. They’re alphas who aren’t complete jerks.
A hero half way between alpha and beta is my sweet spot. There are some good ones on that list – Brian from Backstage Pass and Winter from Thief of Shadows *fans self*
[…] Linkity from Smart Bitches. […]
Thanks for adding to the TBR, indeed! Out of the 11 I’ve read, some are among my all-time favorites, and I didn’t actually dislike any of them (except for A Week to Be Wicked, but I know by now that Tessa Dare’s writing just doesn’t work for me for unknown reasons)– so that tells me I ought to read the whole list.
