    Love the pod!! Maybe do an episode about The Outsiders (I’m so obsessed!!) talk about how it’s still read in middle school or high schools (some), the movie vs book, analyzing characters and character deaths, why the story is getting big on social media media with gen z, and more!!

    Much much love 😍

  • Really enjoy your take on pop culture

    Love the show! Enjoy listening about topics that I am familiar with and hearing everyone’s opinions. I also think it is a great way to learn about new fandoms that I would not generally follow.

  • So good!!!

    Love dipping my toes into different fandoms and pop culture spaces and diving deeper on my own if I want! I’m pretty sensitive and can’t watch things like Game of Thrones… But fun to hear the house of Dragon episodes to just learn why people enjoy those popular shows without having to watch them myself.
