☠️This Podcast Kills Fascists☠️

We have a special treat for you this week! Shannon and I have our very first special guest! Lila the Opinionated Teen! If we have to talk about terrible things, we might as well do it in enjoyable company.

Lila was crazy nervous to join us but after she and Shannon spent 30 minutes bonding over rap beefs and their mutual love of Megan Thee Stallion, she relaxed and did fantastic. We loved having her on and she needs lots of encouragement from you, our beloved audience, if she’s ever going to return. Give Lila some Ogre Nation love!

Also, this is the episode where I come out as Bi. I do, in fact, like both Star Trek AND Star Wars. I’m Bi-Starxual.
