Hey Everyone! As you may have guessed, we've been gone for a bit! We've got some things coming down the pipe but expect the episodes to be a bit more intermittent till the end of the year.

On the schedule we have Sin and Lavender, a podcast Dane produced a while ago with Hallie Denman!

After that we have another set of episodes with our last guest of the season, our good friend Clara Horst! And then we'll be doing some end of year episodes to wrap up Season 2!

Thank you all for continuing to listen to the show, we're glad you all are here. We'll be back soon!
