01. The Formula
Show notes
Welcome to The Romcom Formula — an audio comedy for anyone who’s ever swooned over a meet-cute, rooted for the slow burn, or binged an entire Hallmark movie marathon in one sitting.
In our very first episode, romance audiobook narrator Shannon decides to test her favorite rom-com tropes in real life. Her grand plan? Manifest a love story between her overworked sister Claire and the handsome, tool-belt-wearing neighbor Tony — the ultimate handyman with main-character energy.
Can Shannon’s “Rom-Com Manifestation Plan” turn forced proximity into true love? Or is this about to go full-on pop culture-fanfic-meets-Hallmark-holiday-movie mayhem?
Expect laughs, longing, and lovingly ridiculous tropes — from awkward meet-cutes to DIY disasters — in this mix of romantic comedy, audiobook satire, and romantasy-adjacent chaos.
Perfect for fans of romcom movies, book lovers, chronically online millennials, and anyone who believes love stories are better with a narrator who meddles.
