Modern Escapism

About Modern Escapism

A weekly podcast where five friends talk pop culture from TV, Games, Movies, Books, Music, Wrestling, Comics, Podcasts and everything in between. Each week we discuss the news from the pop culture & media world as well as reviewing what media we've been consuming that week. Our main aim is to help our listeners procrastinate and get away from the real world for a couple of hours, have a laugh with us and hopefully come away with some fantastic recommendations. Join us every Thursday for a new episode and let's procrastinate together.

   Thank You & Adieu

   Our final curtain has fallen, and it's the end of Modern Escapism. We've had an incredible time on this journey, and an even better one making so many new friends along the way. We want to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for the love and support you've shown us over the last six years. Thank you for sticking with us through the format changes, the live streams, the constant correspondence you sent, and, for some of you, your financial support through Patreon. It has meant so much to all of us. We're incredibly proud of what we created and of the community that grew from it. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and for Modern Escapism, that time is now. We love you all. Thank you once again, and adieu. Signing off for one last time... The Modern Escapism Team. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
