The Forgotten Queen of Romance Novels feat. Casey McQuiston

Author: CBS News November 12, 2024 Duration: 39:14
In 2024, romance – a genre once relegated to the back corners of bookstores – might just be saving the publishing industry. But while more and more readers are looking for love between their covers, few are reaching for titles by one of the first giants of the genre, Dame Barbara Cartland, author of over 600 romances, colloquially known as the “Queen of Romance,” and a favorite writer of Princess Diana. While her work has fallen out of fashion, Cartland's legacy can tell us a lot about the romance genre's contemporary dominance. Best-selling author Casey McQuiston, along with Cartland’s granddaughter Tara Parker, join Seth Doane to discuss her impact on the world.

There’s a whole other conversation that happens after the cameras stop rolling. 60 Minutes: A Second Look, from CBS News, digs into the legendary broadcast’s vast archive to uncover those missing pieces. Hosted by CBS News correspondent Seth Doane, this podcast isn’t just a replay of classic segments.

Each episode is a journey through the 60 Minutes vault, offering a fresh perspective on histories you thought you knew. Whether it’s a cultural icon, a political moment, or a societal shift first captured by 60 Minutes, this series gives you the rest of the story.
