8: Gacha or gambling?

I had the pleasure of talking with August from Transracial Adoptees of Philly about the iconic franchise of Star Trek, and specifically about Worf, the Klingon. I learned so much about Worf and his representation for transracial adoptees. I hope you got as much out of this conversation as I did. Live long and prosper, hyperfixation nation.CreditsEdited by Willa JaffeMusic by SAMMIE via Soundstripegetyourfixpod.carrd.co

CW: Brief and unspecific mentions of sexual assault from 9:45 - 13:33This episode is all about the effervescent, iconic Charlie McDonnell (aka Charlieissocoollike). She's had such a positive influence on my life, and I'm so happy to see her creating again. I can't wait to see where she's headed!

I'm getting a tiny bit controversial this week, digging into the good, bad, and ugly of gacha games and why I play them anyway (responsibly). I recently entered the Path to Nowhere fandom, and I'm utterly obsessed. So, Chief - will you join me in ending Mania in DisCity?CreditsEdited by Willa JaffeMusic by SAMMIE via Soundstripegetyourfixpod.carrd.co

Fandom isn't always about things we've loved all of our lives. Sometimes it's about discovering new things and falling in love in a brand new way for the first time. I rounded up some of the new music I've been enjoying for this episode and curated a playlist for your enjoyment after you've listened. Check it out, and let me know what you're listening to these days!CreditsEdited by Willa JaffeMusic by SAMMIE via Soundstripegetyourfixpod.carrd.co

Me and my lovely fiance get into the universally-loved social simulation game: Animal Crossing. We chat all the versions, memories from childhood, our favorite villagers, and get real meta about What Is Animal Crossing All About Anyway? Enjoy!CreditsEdited by Willa JaffeMusic by SAMMIE via Soundstripegetyourfixpod.carrd.co

Grab your sharpies and draw on those cat whiskers Phanimals. I'm digging into the cringe of vulnerability and self-actualization that is being a fan of Daniel Howell (aka Danisnotonfire) for 15 years. From "Hello internet!" to "We're all doomed!" I'm in this Dan Howell shit for life.CreditsEdited by Willa JaffeMusic by SAMMIE via Soundstripegetyourfixpod.carrd.co

I'm marrying my love of music and anime and breaking down my top 10 favorite anime opening theme songs.
