The Beginning

Melissa and Ellie learned of each other in middle school but were resolved to be mortal enemies after falling into the knowledge that they liked the same boy. Nothing, however, could break up a fated friendship. During a summer camp (circa 2009), Melissa and Ellie learned they had more in common than Tyler. The two quickly bonded over TV shows, music, Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging, and above all, humor. They remained best friends through high school, college, marriage, and children. Where are they now? Podcasting every monday, baby. 

The Middle

After reading a little number titled, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Ellie immediately called Melissa and insisted she give this book a shot. Melissa was hooked. They called each other daily to talk all about this series. Soon, they had the idea to put these conversations on the internet in the form of a podcast. "At worst, we'll have an excuse to talk every week, at best, our parents and friends will have some entertainment", they said. Neither could have guessed how far this small hobby would go. With over 15,000 downloads a month, and a large bookstagram community, Ellie and Melissa are still shocked (daily) that so many people would want to listen to their endless tangents, Disney and Spongebob references, and wheezing laughter!

The End

The end goal of The L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast is to foster a community of book lovers and bring people together who may have not otherwise met. They aspire to create a safe and fun environment for friends to discuss books and keep their audience laughing episode after episode.
