OTT #8: I Want to Stay This Inspired, featuring Kassandra-Ashley Rodriguez | episode 21 |

Author: Janine Jimenez February 21, 2021 Duration: 1:45:56
Today's comeback episode is a long awaited OTT (Off Topic Times) with one of the host's favorite people on this earth. The host and guest get into the new year tradition discussing 2021 goals, new transformations, and mediocre but entertainingly genuine relationship advice via the r/relationshipadvice thread on Reddit, in honor of the late Valentine's Day episode which wasn't posted due to technical difficulties. Credits and shouts outward to @approachablepod and Must Be Nice podcast for the inspiration for two of the segments in this episode.  Thank you guys forever for sticking around and being a support system from the beginning; I am adamant that this is a year of consistency and big events happening for my little beetles! Oddly enough, my reckless decision to think of this episode description when I should be sleeping and have to be awake in three hours bodes well for my dedication to reignite my poor, neglected podcast. Do not forget to follow @k_r0ddd on Twitter and Instagram, and follow @JanineBTL on Twitter for the most recent updates. Give this episode some loves and shares if you haven't already, and I will see you guys in the next one! *also trying this new season thing! I hope you guys like it!*

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when you're curled up with a friend, a cup of coffee, and a head full of thoughts about the book you just finished or the odd little moment from your day that stuck with you. Janine Between the Lines: literature & lifestyle for leisure captures that feeling. Hosted by Janine Jimenez, this podcast feels like a series of those candid, meandering talks. As a Filipina-American, Janine brings a specific lens to the books she discusses, the current issues she unpacks, and those daily, somewhat trivial dilemmas we all ponder but rarely voice. The charm here is in the blend; a deep dive into a novel might seamlessly give way to a personal reflection on culture, society, or the small absurdities of modern life. She describes it as semi-entertaining and playfully warns that the whole endeavor might be a platform for connection or simply a verbal scapegoat-the possibilities are endless. What you'll hear is genuine and unscripted, a space where literature intersects with the realities of a multifaceted lifestyle. It’s less about formal analysis and more about where the lines between stories, identity, and everyday observations blur, creating a unique point of connection for listeners from all backgrounds. Tune in for a thoughtful, often witty, and always human take on the words we read and the world we navigate.
