omg whoever left that review complaining about these artists getting paid for their work needs to consider in context of all the many, many things we pay for every day, most of which support evil corporations and fund billionaires. Most podcasts have obnoxious ads for unethical companies AND also ask for memberships or donations.
Anyssa Ball
oo she is so wrong about Midwestern classification
Laura Bogart
Cardassian occupation of Bajor as a metaphor for Israeli occupation of Palatine is something I totally didn't get. I recognized it as being about colonization, but didn't realize it was specifically about a particular country
Laura Bogart
Hope punk! I didn't know that was a genre, but that's what I want in my shows.
Laura Bogart
Baz absolutely could be eating feeder rabbits. It feels gross to say that, since I have pet bunnies (and am vegan), but I come from farmers, and my aunt still raises her own meat, including pigs. If people can handle raising animals from babies to maturity before killing and eating them, Baz can handle something cute and fluffy he's known a couple days
