About Your Host Danielle Trant ✦

Hi, I'm
Danielle. (Stories reignited a creativity and joy in me I thought I'd lost.)

For almost a decade, I've been a photographer. I built a business I'm proud of — documenting love stories in the mountains, working with incredible couples and fellow creatives (and thankfully, still do!). Creativity was literally my job.

But somewhere along the way, I started to believe that if I didn't have a camera in my hand, I wasn't being creative. When your creativity is tied to your income, it changes things. My brand became my entire identity, and I couldn't figure out where it ended and I began.

Then, out of nowhere, I joined a book club. Just to connect with the girlies — a few cocktails, some in-person time. I had absolutely no idea my life was about to change forever. I know that sounds dramatic. It's completely true.

What started as girl time cracked open a creativity in me I thought I'd lost forever. These books held up a mirror. They opened conversations I didn't know I needed. They launched me into a whole new world of possibility, reinvention, and — most importantly — play. We forget how vital that is as adults.

"I was mid-voice-note to my best friend when the words just fell out of my mouth: 'We should start a fantasy podcast.' And here we are. Still slightly unhinged. Absolutely no regrets."

So, welcome, Witchlings. We're just getting started, and I am throwing my whole heart, soul, and chaotic creative energy into this. Something new. Something just for fun. Something purely because it brings me joy — and connects me with people like you.

What started as a tiny book club is becoming something genuinely ridiculous and magical — a global coven of witchlings gathering to laugh, spiral, make themed drinks on a Tuesday, and feel dramatically less alone about all of it. If you've ever finished a chapter and immediately needed someone to lose their mind about it with you — hi, hello, welcome home. Pull up a chair. We made you a drink. 🌙

🍹
A Custom Mocktail Every Episode
Danielle mixes a mocktail inspired by each book — always alcohol-free, with cocktail modifications if that's your vibe. Follow the recipe, sip along, feel extremely fancy about it.

🌶️ Highly Scientific Rating System

The Official Talk Cliterature To Me Spice Scale

Peer reviewed by absolutely no one. Certified by zero institutions. Endorsed by pure chaos and very strong feelings. Use accordingly.

Every book we read gets a spice rating — because the Witchlings deserve to know if this episode requires a glass of water or a whole fire extinguisher.

🌶️
1 Pepper — The Simmer
Slow burn energy. Longing looks. Maybe a hand graze. Absolutely zero page-turning at 2am for scandalous reasons — but the tension? Certifiably, embarrassingly, life-ruiningly immaculate. Your nervous system is not okay and that is entirely the point.
🌶️🌶️
2 Peppers — It's Getting Warm In Here
We're kissing. We're feeling things. The door is closed but we know what happened behind it. Tasteful but make no mistake — it's there.
🌶️🌶️🌶️
3 Peppers — The Cauldron Is Bubbling
The door is open. We are fully in the room. Specific details have been provided. You will need to put the book down, fan yourself, text three people, and reassess every single one of your life choices. This is fine.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
4 Peppers — Court of Thirst Activated
Explicit. Unapologetic. Extremely well written. You would make terrible life decisions for a fictional person and honestly? Same. No notes.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
5 Peppers — Send Help Immediately
This book has no business being this spicy. It is aggressively, relentlessly, chaotically explicit. The cauldron has fully bubbled over and taken half the kitchen with it. You are not okay. You are thriving. You deserve everything good in this world and also therapy.
Every Single Episode

Here's What
You're In For

Every episode has a structure. We do not skip the structure.

First, Danielle makes a drink. A custom mocktail — alcohol-free, inspired by the book, named dramatically, and made live on air with full chaotic energy. The recipe is in the show notes every single time. Make it at home. Sip along. And yes — if cocktails are your vibe, we always include modifications for that too. No one gets left behind. This coven is for everyone.

Then, we go deep. Not a surface-level summary. Not "here are the plot points." We slow all the way down and actually sit with what the story made us feel — the characters, the magic, the found families, the love interests we'd make genuinely terrible decisions for, and the moments that absolutely wrecked us. We stay in it. We are not sorry. Every book also gets an official spice rating (one through five peppers, peer reviewed by absolutely no one, certified by zero institutions).

And then — The Bubbling Bitch. Our sacred listener cauldron, where your wildest questions, unhinged theories, and impassioned hot takes get pulled and read live on air. Every. Single. Episode. No wrong answers. The bar is on the floor and we love it there.

Every episode, without exception: one book, one mocktail (+ cocktail mods), one deep emotional dive, one official spice rating, and one round of certified unhinged audience participation. It is a whole thing. We made it a whole thing on purpose.
