Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton
Olivia Ponton's book podcast, where every conversation starts with a book and ends up somewhere more personal. Launched in October 2025 as Booked & Busy and relaunched for its second season in June 2026 under the expanded name Booked, Blonde & Busy, the show pairs Ponton, a model and content creator with a real reading habit, with authors and cultural figures, using their work as a way into bigger questions about identity, ambition, money, and modern womanhood. It is the rare creator-hosted podcast that treats books as the main event rather than the marketing hook.

Victoria Aveyard says the original Red Queen ending gave Shade time travel powers and switched Mare with her future self
The author says her agent made the right call by cutting a finale that would have blown past the book's own rules.
Caitlin Bea says she nearly became a Sims creator instead of a BookTok creator
The BookTok personality's pandemic fork in the road explains why her reading taste feels less like literary canon and more like hobby monetization with better lighting.
Rebecca Serle says In Five Years came from a psychic who predicted her future husband’s name and timing
The novelist’s fate-obsessed bestseller has a very on-brand origin story, though it works better as literary fuel than as evidence for the supernatural.
Candace Bushnell says a typical 90s New York night was 20 drinks, a couple grams of coke, and two packs of cigarettes
The Sex and the City author gives Gen Z the least cosmo-glossy version of the myth: the real New York was darker, meaner, smokier, and much more financially brutal than the HBO fantasy.
