  • Twilight: Chapters 13-17 | Red Flags? More Like a Whole Sparkling Banner
    Sep 3 2025

    Hey listeners! We’re back with another episode on Twilight and we’ve finally gotten to one of the most iconic chapters of the book - the meadow scene that started it all where Bella learns that Edward doesn't burst into flame in the sun...he's a human disco ball.

    We're talking sparkles, forever-boners, unhinged behavior, the way-over-the-top baseball game (because apparently thunder is nature's umpire), and more. This episode is soooo off the rails and honestly… we’re loving every minute of it.

    Join the discussion! We would love to hear from the listeners on this one, so let us hear your thoughts!

    Trigger warning! Skip at around 43:25 to 45:44 to avoid sensitive content listed at beginning of episode!

    Welcome back readers! We’re here for part 2 of Twilight, and we’re once again discussing some questionable choices on SMeyer’s part. This week we discuss some of the things fans have brought up for years - Edward’s stalking (and absolute obsession), Jacob’s treatment as a character, Bella’s totally unreliable parents, and the infamous Port Angeles scene! Watch out, Edward’s vigilante days are flashing before his eyes. It has already been an insane ride revisiting this story from the text and we hope you’re enjoying it, too.

  • Twilight: Chapters 1-6 | Edward Cullen — Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss
    Aug 20 2025

    Hey, readers. We’re back with a new series to sink our fangs into. Yep - we’re diving into nostalgia. In honor of 20 years with sparkles and teenage angst, we’re revisiting the Twilight series. Join us this week as we discuss some of the unhinged madness that overtakes a vampire who can’t seem to shake his latest craving.

    I mean Forks is peak chaos — constant rain, green stuff everywhere, and a cute mysterious boy apparently fighting for his life not to puke when Bella walks into biology class. Is it love at first sniff? Or did Bella forget to wear deodorant? We're also talking the infamous van crash, Edward's Olympic-level stink face, and all the red flags Bella chooses to ignore in the name of...love?

    Join us as we laugh at the absurdity and relive the beginning of one of the most iconic (and questionable) love stories ever written. Some of us are reading Midnight Sun along with it, so be prepared for spoilers and some very...disturbing thought patterns for a turn-of-the-century eternally teenage boy.

  • 🍎 Season 3 Trailer | Sparkles, Stalking, and Supernatural Teen Angst: Twilight Deep Dives Begin 🍎
    Aug 13 2025

    Welcome to Season 3 of The Midnight Readers Podcast--this time we're heading back to the land of sparkly vampires, confusing love triangles, and eternal high schoolers. Ick.

    That's right. We're rereading the Twilight saga in honor of the 20th anniversary, and we're doing it with fresh eyes, unfiltered commentary, and a lot of questions. Like...why is everyone okay with a hundred-year-old dating a teen? Why does Bella never eat? What happened to Bella's tear that Edward drank? What is up with their love of baseball? And did anyone actually like being in Forks?

    In this season, we'll unpack the books that launched a thousand fanfics, dive deep into the lore, dissect the wildest theories, and lovingly roast every questionable moment and decision along the way.

    Whether you're Team Edward, Team Jacob, or just here for the chaos, you're in the right place. Subscribe now, because things are about to get uncomfortably intense. You won't want to miss a single episode.

    Aug 6 2025

    Well, listeners, we are back for the last installment of our coverage of the Empyrean series. We have truly analyzed the heck out of this series and we are coming out of the storm with more questions than ever. Who is Theophanie's boss? Where are the missing riders? Who else is working with the venin? Who is the mysterious brother? Who stole those fucking eggs? What's next for Violet? Is Halden going to do something even more stupid? Well that seems like abso-fucking-lutely yes, but anyway...Violet and Xaden must’ve known that we were finishing up because we could not avoid all the thunder during our recording! Join us this week as we discuss all of the things revealed at the end of Onyx Storm, from first and second signets to potential betrayals...This one’s a doozy. Put on your flight jacket and let’s dive in.

    Hey, listeners. Hold on to your butts - or your buckets? - because this episode is as wild as the island of Zihnal.
