Episode 20: Season One Finale - A Heated Rivalry Reflection

About this episode

The episode reflects on the journey of creating a podcast and the importance of community and growth.

In this episode, we reflect on the unexpected journey of creating a podcast based solely on our love and appreciation for a beautiful tv show.. We share listener feedback, particularly from those who found pieces of themselves reflected in conversations about identity and community, and we talk about the importance of listening and remaining open to growth when we inevitably get things wrong. We discuss our hope to continue creating a space where empathy, curiosity, and connection thrive. A huge thank you to our listeners, guests, and the fandom that embraced us and our thoughts and musings., We hope our podcast has brought the same joy into your lives as much as it brought to us. Thank you. See you in the fall (or maybe mid summer...you just never know)!
