  • MPS Ep 14: Happy Birthday

    This week’s intro is pretty much a segment about Marguerite’s obsession with Last Podcast on the Left…so they owe MPS lots of money now (that’s how ads work, right?). Eventually Emily focuses them back to the usual antics you know and love them for. Join the ladies as they somehow relate everything to Hamilton,  learn about the great town of Cockermouth in #yeoldendays, and discuss William Wordsworth’s chronic RBF (that's resting bitch face for you non-millennials hiding in the back).

    Featured Poets: Jhené Aiko, William Wordsworth, Matthew Zapruder
