Episodes

  • ...About Voting By Mail 2

    19/08/2020 Duration: 12min

  • ...About Idolizing Entertainers

    10/07/2020 Duration: 19min

  • ...About Monuments

    07/07/2020 Duration: 14min

  • ...About Fanon

    12/06/2020 Duration: 25min

    One of the best parts about being a fan is coming up with your own theories and stories about the stories you love. But when does it go too far? That's what I talk about in this episode of my podcast.

    05/06/2020 Duration: 22min
