Introducing... The Kill Your Normie Podcast!
Hello!
This is a test of the Kill Your Normie podcast!
What is a normie? A normie is that little voice in your head that says what you are doing is cringe and lame. You cannot exist within fandom if you have a normie in your brain.
So, that is what this podcast is about. We go deep on things, we talk about, movies, tv, video games, books! All these things that you can be obsessed with. And yes, we do go deep, because it is that deep. It is very very deep.
So me and my sibling are going to bring you the newest thing that we are obsessed with. Or maybe the thing that only one of us is obsessed with and the other doesn’t know very much about.
The first episode will be covering the live-action Snow White which will be released March 28th, or Fandom Friday!
