In which E and F get emotional about...coffeeshops??

We had to cut this anecdote out of the last episode, but it was too hilarious to leave on the cutting room floor! In which our guest, Leon Peckson, tells us about the nature of weddings in the new normal. 

In which we talk about the imperative of art, confessional poetry, and post our episode with Leon, F has feelings and E records her talking about them. 

In which we have our first guest on the podcast! Leon Peckson comes to chat with us about Shakespeare, motorcycles, and when it is NOT an appropriate time for a sonnet.

(Also, in which F lies: everything that was said was NOT left into the podcast. But more on that soon. ;) )

In which we talk Dark Academia, F attempts to apply as a college professor, and E is unsurprised that said application was left on read. :P

DISCLAIMER: As Filipinos living in the Philippines we do not have the depth of insight needed to discuss the Black Lives Matter movement at length. It is referenced here only insofar as to give context to the quoting of Audre Lorde. We encourage our audience to geek up about #BLM and to correct any mistaken notions we might have as hosts by reaching out to us via Anchor Voice Message. We'd love to share your insights on our podcast.

In which we realize that talking about the intricacies of the J-Pop agency system is not something one can do in just 20 minutes. LDH FANS, WHERE YOU AT??? #EXILEHiroForPresident

Yet another (not-so-)minisode! 

In which E forces F to ramble, professors of Dante are compared, and we fangirl over Mr. Darcy (but not for the reasons you expect).

Also, E would like you all to know F made requests for donations without her consent. :P

In which we talk about quarantine, Star Trek, miniature disco lights, and it becomes VERY obvious that both E and F work in communications and marketing strategy. 

(Also, we don't mention Doctor Who in this one. T_T )

Got a topic idea? Hit us up in the voice messages on Anchor.fm and we MIGHT have you as part of a future episode! ;)
