November 15, 2022 Women’s Wrestling Entertainment ep.3 - The Rock ’n’ Wrestling Connection
In honor of Becky Lynch's debut as Cyndi Lauper on Young Rock, we thought we'd take this week to make a special presentation of our Patreon podcast Women's Wrestling Entertainment.

Women's Wrestling Entertainment is a series where Harley and Em trace the history of women in the WWE from the very beginning. On this episode, they take a look at the WWF women's division from May 1984 to March 1985 including Cyndi Lauper's arrival, WWF and MTV joining forces, the debut of Wendi Richter, and the first WrestleMania.

October 04, 2022 Arpeggio

September 27, 2022 And What Can I Do? I’m Into You
One week late but all the wiser, Em and special guest Lindsay Baker discuss episode one of the new season of WOW Superheroes. While WOW's syndication deal may give the show access to markets nationwide, does a TV-only deal work in the modern age of streaming? More importantly, was WOW's premiere episode worth the wait (and the scramble to find it)?
