    • FERAL FRIDAY EP 06: EVERY LAST CRUMB (we're sorry!)

      TW: gagging sounds, mentions of eating disorders and trauma


      Brace yourselves for an episode of Feral Friday where your well-intentioned hosts – Erin, Marie, Sarah 1, and Sara 2 – decided to spice things up with a live reading of a short, smutty romance story centered around... gingerbread cookies. Now, before you hit play, we feel it's our duty to apologize in advance. What seemed like a brilliantly hilarious idea quickly transformed into a cringe-worthy spectacle, as we, in our quest for laughs, unintentionally stumble into the awkward realm of baked goods romance.

      Join us as we navigate through the unexpectedly unsexy world of cookie intimacy, as we attempt to keep a straight face amid the crumbling chaos.

      Will we emerge unscathed from this cookie catastrophe, or will we buckle under the weight of cringe? Tune in to "Every Last Crumb" for a humorous yet disgusting journey that proves not every podcast idea is a stroke of genius – especially when cookies are involved!

                  A note about the US Thanksgiving holiday:

                  The members of this podcast reside in the United States of America, and while in this episode we talk about getting stuffed like a turkey and smothered by gravy, we all take a clear stance in not supporting Thanksgiving and the genocide that occurred and is still celebrated today.
