And That's Why We Drink

Welcome to episode 388, where we're screaming inside! This is the gossip episode; first we go deeper than even we usually go into our anxieties about adulting and the process of writing an entirely new live show, then Em brings us the salatious hauntings of Cock Lane (can someone please tell us why that's funny?), and lastly Christine covers a story full of sad, terrible gossip in the story of Suzanne Sevakis (part one, tune in next week for part two). And help us say a fake goodbye to the Troll Hole... and that's why we drink! Get a sticker to match Christine's from the incredible artist and Etsy shop: Luck13 Cat Creations!
