A real crispy crunchy episode where Saath rambles, starting with Alexander Siddig and ending with world politics. And yes, of course. It would be incredibly cool of him or his family to reach out, even to just say hello.

We are taking advantage of the medium and the lack of monetization to talk about sex in a very blunt way. CW for discussion of rape and sexual assault. Some additional topics include nudity, tentacle porn, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (but in a good way)

This one was a bit off-the-cuff but we will touch on this again, and we will try to compile a reading list
