Fandom and Wellness

Transcript: Hi everyone, this is Jenny with a short message. We just wanted to let you know that Fandom and Wellness will be going on hiatus. There's a lot going on for us personally and of course in the world in general so we wanted to take a short break from the podcast. I don't know when we'll be back, but we'll be back. We love you and remember, be kind and take no shit. Bye!

Jenny is joined by Soulbound owner, Kelly, and Little Petal booth queen, Jessica, to talk about how Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers players an escape from reality, the ability to socialize with friends and NPCs, and a way to be practice mindfulness.
