About This Podcast
Semi-scripted, occasionally well researched deep dives by two STEM background straight dudes who are too into their feelings. Expect random tangents, mild existential crises, and way too much time spent dissecting their feelings, sometimes followed up with an MLA styled bibliography about it.
