Ep. 51: The 2018 Geek Glad Game

Joined by stand-up comedian and writer Riley Silverman, we look at what is means to make a career out of comedy, and how one can retain their sanity in the pursuit. (...Maybe.)

Joined by guests Chip (of This Week in Time Travel) and Lauren (voiceover artist and podcaster), we look at the topic of cartoons -- specifically, enjoying them as an adult even if they are produced and targeted primarily to a younger audience.

Episode 49: Cartoons for Big Kids

This time, In Defense Of is going on the offensive.
