Season 2, Episode 02
Published July 31st 2021
7th Episode

This remains one of the episodes I'm most proud of, tackling an argument that I've seen wielded against many of us in geek circles who like things perceived as "childish" by society at large, and so I wanted to get my thoughts out there. And it gets emotional as so much of what I'm saying hits home for me.
This episode and the two that follow it all cover topics that have been on my mind as things I wanted to discuss, and so I've always thought of them as a loose trilogy of sorts, and they exist as more editorial in nature.
