The fact that we never got the 3rd instalment of His Dark Materials will forever devastate me. Please come back and end my pain.
i love a host and guests who care deeply about the media we consume and how it shapes us!!
I miss this podcast. It was so fun and optimistic. I hope the other projects are going well but I hope you come back to SG.
looooooove so much. just wish the sound was a bit more equalized. many guests randomly speak quietly for comedic effect so I have to turn up the volume SO LOUD to hear them then get my ears blasted by the next sentence (happens in car and different headphones, so not a me problem)
Love binging episodes, especially continental garbage. WILD that all the Taylor Swift episodes are SO male centric when all the Gaylor lore/theorizing is right there 😝
