  • Welcome back!

    I really missed you two when you were on hiatus! My favorite podcasters. I have a loooooong commute, and you make it bearable.

    I teach pop culture studies, and I wish my students were as insightful (and funny) as you.

    Also, your banter makes me miss my best friend. She’s no longer alive, but everytime I listen to you, I feel nostalgic for the fun times we had — in a good way.

    Thanks for doing what you do. ❤️
