Episode 196 – Love and Marriage

Episode 194 – International Women’s Day Boners
This week we have some more geeky boners to share!

Episode 187 – Politics!
With the caucus/primary season coming up, we spent this week talking about politics!

Episode 184 – Spoilers!
This episode, we talk about spoilers. Don’t worry – we don’t spoil anything for you. At least not much of anything.
