Hello beautiful listeners 👋🏻

It has been a while since the announcement of our return! And for that we apologize! Being a group of students (BA and MA) with exams to attend during Christmas/New Years, beginning of a new semester, and coming up with a plan/ideas of new episodes have been challenging.

But fear not!

We have been talking and planning some future episodes, and we are more than excited to get them up and running, and share them with you all!

Stay tuned for further updates!
