How's it going Regional Variant fans and family!

As we stated in the episode, we just wanted to test out a short segment that Hovey and I will plan on covering for a short while and see how this new format works for us. 

We hope you all enjoy this new format to the podcast channel.

Please send us any suggestions for pop culture series you'd like to hear us cover!
