Audiobook Lovin Podcast - S7 Ep. 12 - Special Announcement



Welcome to Season 7 Episode 12 of the Audiobook Lovin Podcast! We’ve been keeping a secret… and now it’s time to share it with you.

 Every journey has a defining moment, one where everything shifts, expands, and levels up. Today, we’re thrilled to share that such a moment has arrived for the Audiobook Lovin’ Podcast.

After years of celebrating storytellers, amplifying voices, and connecting audiobook lovers around the world, Audiobook Lovin’ is stepping into something even bigger. And yes… we’ve been very excited to finally reveal the news.

We’re Expanding Into the Audiobook Lovin’ Network

What started as a single show is now evolving into a full network, a home for multiple creators, multiple perspectives, and multiple conversations within the audiobook world.
This expansion opens the door for more content, more collaboration, and more ways to engage with the community we love so much.

The heart of Audiobook Lovin’ remains the same, but the possibilities just got a whole lot bigger.

Meet Our New Show: Tea Time with Tricia & Jojo!

We’re also thrilled to welcome the first official addition to the network: 
Tea Time with Jojo & Tricia.

These two bring warmth, fun, honesty, and the perfect amount of tea-spilling energy to every conversation. Whether they’re diving into audiobook talk, behind-the-scenes insights, or the stuff no one else is saying out loud, their show adds a vibrant new voice to the Audiobook Lovin’ family.

We cannot wait for you to hear them.

Why This Matters

This transformation is about growth, but even more, it’s about community.
The Audiobook Lovin’ Network creates a platform where more hosts, more shows, and more listeners can come together.

A space for creativity. For connection. For celebrating storytelling in all its forms.

And this is only the beginning.

Listen to the Special Announcement Episode.

Meet The Tea Time Hosts





My name is Jojo, I am an avid reader who tripped and fell into the book space. Now people trust me to touch their work and help them turn it into magic.

When I am not editing or prepping audiobooks, I am working alongside my better half Tricia Finley, on our TeaTime podcast.

Our podcast is full of shenanigans and laughter where we interview authors, voice actors and everyone in-between. We talk all things bookish and get to know more about some of your favourites, as well as giving the spotlight to people who are brand new in the space.




Connect with Jojo at 

Hi! I’m Tricia Finley, some say I’m just fueled on caffeine and chaos but really I’m just a people loving girl with an Alani…or 3…in hand, who somehow always has a million things going at once. I’m the kind of person who feels things deeply, loves loudly, and genuinely values the connections I make with people. 

I’m a wife, cat mom, late night yapper, and professional over thinker who thrives on laughter, deep conversations, and making people feel like they just belong. A lot of my life revolves around community and friendships, especially the ones I’ve built online over the years that somehow turned into real, genuine found family. 

I love creating spaces where people can show up exactly as they are…no pressure, no pretending, just good conversations, chaos, support, and a lot of laughing until we cry. Whether I’m live streaming, talking with friends, working on creative projects, or just checking in on people I care about, I try to lead with kindness and authenticity in everything I do. 

I’m also the owner of Finley’s Loft and co-host of Tea Time with Tricia and JoJo, where I get to combine creativity, community, and my love for storytelling in ways that still honestly amaze me sometimes. 

Some people say my lives are a cult…but you’ll have to join and decide that for yourself.

Twisted Play (Cruel Games Book 1)
by Poppy Jacobson 

Twisted Play is a scorching hot, dark, why choose, college, hockey romance. Eva’s story concludes in Vicious Wins, Book Two of the Cruel Games duet.

Narrated by Savannah Thomas, Kayden Lukakis, Julio Maxwell and Ash Beverly

Available for pre-order exclusively at Adler Audios!

Blurb:
Cruel. Merciless. Wicked. If they find out the truth, I’ll lose everything—including my father’s life.

Surgery saved me, but left my family drowning in debt. The man we owe has one demand–destroy the hockey team from within.

Three obsessive, controlling men catch me spying and promise retribution for my sins. Cole is as cold as the ice beneath his skates, and he likes to hurt me. Tristan’s sweetness hides a terrifying possessiveness. And broody, frightening Coach Aleksandr? He hates me with a passion I don’t understand—but his hands tell a different story.

Their brutal touches and degrading commands break down my walls until I can’t tell where I end and they begin. With every cruel game, I fall deeper, tangled in a web of lies I can’t escape.

When you’re in as deep as I am, walking away isn’t an option. Surviving might not be, either.

Twisted Play is a scorching hot, dark, why choose, college, hockey romance. Eva’s story concludes in Vicious Wins, Book Two of the Cruel Games duet.

¿Qué Pasa, USA? is a cultural treasure. The program explored the trials and tribulations faced by the Peñas, a Cuban American family living in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, as they struggled to cope with a new country and a new language. The series is praised as being very true-to-life and accurately, if humorously, portraying the life and culture of Miami's Cuban American population.

Welcome to Season 7 Episode 10 of the 
Audiobook Lovin Podcast!

This week, I’m joined by the incredibly talented narrator LaNecia Edmonds for a conversation that is equal parts surprising, insightful, and downright fun.

From the moment we dive in, the energy is on point and things only get better when we hit Two Truths and a Lie… where she completely gets me (yes, I was confidently wrong).

We explore the art of narration, unexpected truths, and those “ooooh, that’s interesting…” moments that make you lean in a little closer. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the storytelling, or the behind-the-scenes gems, this episode delivers all of it with ease and authenticity.

Get ready for a conversation that keeps you guessing and smiling, until the very end.
