It's episode one, rebooted! We've learned a lot in the last year, and our original pilot episode featured poor production and no video presentation. So, we called for a mulligan! Our co-hosts Daniel and Dina introduce themselves! We discuss some times where we made it weird for someone or for someone else, including the reason why y*llow is a buzzword on our show! We discuss disguises in storytelling, and Dina tells us about that time she dressed in disguise and stalked her friend's ex in STORYTIME! And Daniel re-visits our very first bad romance reading in CRINGEY COPULATION!  #WritingCommunity #Bookish #BookTube
