The Klunatics Podcast

From a hornless gay unicorn, to a were-pomeranian, to three elderly women in a vespa gang who are either sisters or in a polyamorous lesbian relationship, TJ Klune has the ability to keep us laughing. In this episode we’ll look into how TJ uses humor, often in ways that defy expectations.

The Klunatics Podcast is produced by Susannah Frigo, Luis Garcia, Angela Noll Mohn, Sita Rajasingham, Mia Sciberras, Jon Steiger, and Kirt Graves. This episode was written by Luis Garcia.
