Episode 13: Oops, All Trains!

<html><p>After a brief hiatus due to performance chaos, we've returned with what might be our most unhinged episode to date -- possibly because we recorded it at 2 AM. Please enjoy Alissa and Gwen's wide-ranging discussion on composers in hell, kink philosophy, reinventing trains, and ragebaiting Gwen. Also, Gwen does a bunch of voices, several of which may get her canceled. </p><p>Is this a coherent episode? No. But is it an entertaining episode? God, we sure hope so.</p><p>Hosted by <strong>Alissa Roca &amp; Gwen Hyland</strong><br/>Edited by <strong> Gwen Hyland</strong><br/>Art by <strong>CHIMI</strong><br/>Music by <strong>Rachel Dean and Erin Reifler</strong></p></html>
