Episode 23 - heck: how do you even title an episode like this

October 23, 2019 14:04 - 1 hour - 33.6 MB

Our hearts grow three sizes while watching The Rise of Skywalker trailer. We’re bad at speculation. And what Carrie Fisher means to us. This episode was recorded on what would have been her 63rd birthday and it’s a little rough emotionally, we won’t lie. Below are some helplines. And remember to do it for Carrie.
