November 23, 2019 Take #16: Can Being a Super Smart Idiot Actually Work in Your Favor?
Take #16! Welcome to SEASON 2 of Listen! I chat with my brilliant friend Harrison about what it means to be a T-shaped person, how you can be a jack of trades but a master of some things properly, and how we try to soak up knowledge every day. We all just want to be better. Better teammates, better communicators, and better people. Welcome to...Listen!

September 08, 2019 Take #15: Has Zachary Levi Ruined All Other Men for Me?
Take #15! Welcome to SEASON 2 of Listen! I chat with my wonderful friend Trevor about mental health, Zachary Levi, self love and positive/negative self talk, and our progress in our mental health journey.

July 07, 2019 Take #14: The Bachelorette Banter - Hometowns
Here's another bonus Take on the new season of The Bachelorette! I chat with my friend Lauren about Hannah's journey to find love. A lot has happened since our Week 1 recap, and we are here to SPILL THE TEA. Hannah's heading into hometowns, so Lauren and I go over the remaining men. We LOVE Tyler and Pete. We are unimpressed with Jed and his recent drama in the press. And finally, we yell about Luke for an unhealthy amount of time. Tune in for unsolicited opinions, final 2 predictions, and our endorsement for the next Bachelor. Welcome to...Listen!

May 23, 2019 Take #13: The Bachelorette Banter - Week 1
Here's a Bonus Take on the new season of The Bachelorette! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelorette, same as we did for The Bachelor. Week 1 was pretty tame - just the intros and a nice cocktail party to get us started. But, it wouldn't be The Bachelorette without some drama!!! Lauren and I go through all of the men and their bios, and we don't hold back on our criticism. We are...quite harsh. But stick around for our unsolicited opinions and predictions. Welcome to...Listen!

May 18, 2019 Take #12: Why Is Game of Thrones One of the Greatest TV Shows of All Time?
Here's a Bonus Take for all you GoT fans! I chat with my wonderful friend Nicole about Game of Thrones. I've only recently started watching (still on season 3, sorry!!), while Nicole has been watching since the beginning. We talk about changes the show has seen since the beginning, character development and arcs, and predictions for the series finale. There are spoilers throughout, of course. I gasp a lot as Nicole warns me about what's to come. Welcome to...Listen!

May 17, 2019 Take #11: In Geek Culture, Are Fandoms Just Really Big Happy Families? SEASON FINALE!
Take #11! We did it, folks! Roops is officially a COLLEGE GRADUATE (!!!), so Season 1 must come to an end. Season 2 will be starting up in the fall, once I start my new job in New York City! Crazy!!
This week, I'll be chatting with my wonderful friend Anna about geek culture, fandoms, Game of Thrones (SOME SPOILERS ARE VOICED!), Harry Potter, Avengers: Endgame (WE SAY A LOT OF SPOILERS, A WARNING!!), and other great cultural moments. We discuss how the media we consume as children affects us profoundly, and we explore how geek culture impacts character development. We end the season with a variety of Quick Quips...and they're very bizarre. As always, there's a lot of giggling. Welcome to...Listen!
I'll see you guys in the fall. Until then, have a wonderful rest of your week.
