"shut up so i can speak"

This week, we're bringing you TWO very special episodes. In this episode, we share some of our outtakes from season 3, things that we've cut from episodes but thought should be shared anyway. Make sure you've also listened to our highlights episode to hear some of the best moments from the season.

"alex, you're being dramatic"

This week, we're bringing you TWO very special episodes. In this episode, we share some of the highlights from season 3, things that we felt it was important for you to hear again. Make sure you've also listened to our outtakes episode to hear some of the audio we've cut from episodes.

"promote bodily autonomy"

This week, we read and discuss two more stories from the AITA subreddit, both revolving around gender and sexuality norms. Do you want us to react to more reddit stories? Is there a particular story you want us to read? Let us know!

"when you're in the audience, keep your phone off"

If you haven't listened to last week's episode, you should do that before you listen to this one. This week, we review High School Musical and Footloose. Once again, we appreciate your patience with our audio, as we are recording in several different noisy theaters. Also, be sure to check out our instagram (@thetruthsleuths) for pictures!

"i was disappointed when true love started popping up in this show"

This week, we review Anything Goes and Les Miserables. This episode is kind of long, since it covers two shows, so if you want to split up the episode, the end of our Anything Goes review is at 50:03. Also, we apologize for the weird/rainy audio and we appreciate your patience. Make sure to check back next week to hear our reviews of High School Musical and Footloose!
