It's ROUGH to run out of gas in Death Valley! Or, if you're in a sci-fi genre show, a hauntingly desolate "crystal planet" that appears suspiciously devoid of crystals. But FEAR NOT, newly reunited best pals of ours!

AND if Bow & Glimmer can have five freaking minutes of peace to talk about their feelings & healthy boundaries?? AAGGHH CRYSTALS!!!   (...Also, that's ice. That's Swifty being the sound of ice).   Link to our listener Mari's podcast, Genderfork (the Catra episode!): https://tinyurl.com/2rxm95b5   PLAYLIST: https://spoti.fi/3NlAaVn   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/heyadoracast   For more information, you can head over to our website HeyAdora.gay or https://linktr.ee/HeyAdora.

Our ANCIENT SPACESHIP is finally repaired, and we are ready to LAUNCH into SPAAAACE!!! ...As soon as Adora gets that mandatory nap due to no longer being part Valkyrie, and the rest of our princess pals work together to hack Horde Prime's comms & figure out Glimmer's location IN SPACE, which will probably be SUPER EASY and not put a strain on ANY RELATIONSHIPS AT ALL. Plus, the faint stirrings of  SparkleKitty shenanigans, maybe?

HOLY SHITBALLS IT'S SEASON 5!!! Our buddies are LEVELING UP for the final battle for the fate of the world, or, perhaps, the entire universe. (If you think that's scary, check out Project 2025-- the GOP's plans for the US after the next election! This is some end-times shit, y'all).   Meanwhile IN SPACE, Glimmer & Catra are trapped on Horde Prime's mothership, aka Our Lady of Perpetual Death Star; will their journeys finally align to the supremely badass sparklekitty duo we're all rooting for? Will THE SHE-RA ever be returned to us? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT!
