I don’t need to listen to two misogynists bumping their heads against each other. There are plenty of bro podcasts for that if I ever need to listen to a man neg women incessantly.

Love this podcast. I have one thing to add and have to use this review to do it because I don’t have instagram but the reason why the leaders of Oz are running a conspiracy against the animals is because there was a famine prior to when the story starts and the animals were blamed for the famine and used as scapegoats. Think immigrants being blamed for the crime/unemployment. And Elphaba experiences discrimination because green skin is different in that world.
