  • Is authenticity the new currency? w/ Hannah Reilly

    The weeeek we are joined by comedian, play-write and actor Hannah Reilly to talk about her growing up with loving parents, and how rare that is, and how it very well may have caused a praise kink!

    Hannah's in town debuting her new play 'Roleplay', about being an influencer with no morals navigating the modern world where authenticity is treated as a currency.

    We also play a slightly psycho game of truth or dare (the dare was STRONGLY suggested).
