   Is This Podcast There For You?

   Rhett and Emma decided to be ~*~random*~* and record an episode of their podcast so that they could catch up on how their Pride month went, new music they've been listening to, and the shows they've been performing in. They also talk about parasocial relationships, the diarrhea parasite, and Rhett's recent trip to Clark's Bears. They make no promises as to when they will record again.

   Judas Caesar

   Rhett and Emma recap the Oscars, talk about Rhett's haircut (with full creative credit to Emma), and do a deep dive into Hamnet. But most importantly, they spend a large majority of the episode doing the scuba.
