February 27, 2021 S2E2 - The City Gets Nuked In This One
Episode Notes
The internet decided to really hate us during recording so we apologize for poor audio quality and disjointed conversations. However, among the mishaps, mystery guests, and M. Nightshamalanian endings your three favorite co-hosts (who have all definitely been here the whole time) try to discern real from fake in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.

November 26, 2020S1E11 - Pop Off!
Episode Notes
A note about this episode: We want to directly acknowledge the sexual harassment record of Sherman Alexie. The episode was recorded prior to us learning about Alexie’s sexual harassment. However we do not want to “gloss over” this fact. We’ve provided some resources to understand the situation, feel free to take the time to use them. In the future, we hope to learn from this and more thoroughly research the topics we choose to speak about.

It is completely up to you whether or not you chose to listen to this episode, given the content we discuss and the news surrounding the author. We respect your decision and wherever you are at in your life.
