Join Ashley Vivian and Bailey Lisa as they journey into their first podcast episode about The Crystal Gems—Gardner (or Gardito?), Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven! They talk (well, mostly Ashley talks…using a script) about season one of Cartoon Network’s hit show Steven Universe, a favorite of older sibling Ashley, who, yes, in case you didn’t know, is twenty-six years old and watches cartoons. They later discuss and answer (do they really?) the question “Why Do Adults Watch Modern Children’s Cartoons?”

Comments? Questions? Concerns? Just want to say hi? Email [email protected] or follow our Twitter @OurFavThingsPod or Instagram ourfavthingspod. Please email if you watch cartoons like Steven Universe and you’re in your early/mid/late twenties or older. Bailey can’t get away with age shaming!

New episode every three weeks!
