Episode 102: I Love You Steven Russell / Storm Area 51

Dec 13

Welcome, Queerdos, to a special Kevin's Birthday edition of the pod! In celebration, we're taking an all-day field trip to the Fun Zone. First, in our True Crime Story, Kevin tells us about a serial escape artist and American hero who would do anything for love (and anything for scams). Next, in our Spoopy Tale, Edie beams us back to 2019 when a meme about raiding Area 51 got out of hand. So practice your forged signatures, get ready to see them aliens, and settle in for this week's show. Let's dive in!
