  • My Favourite Parasocial Gay Besties

    I could listen to Mattie & Poodle all day. They make any mundane situation more tolerable. They’re always there with something hilariously catty or deeply comforting to say. Also, I learn about so many new hot men through them. I only wish every podcast was twice as long.
