2021-02-24 22:49:07 +0000 UTCI actually really liked the chill music backing :3 for me it just added to the relaxed hang time vibes I associate with the podcast. though yeah maybe it just worked for this particular episode. Lotte was also a great guest! hope she returns for a future ep <3
2021-02-24 11:09:22 +0000 UTCI (brandon) think we probably just won't do it anymore - maybe we'll use these tracks for something specific every once in a while, or like... if we branch into tik-tok heh heh.

2021-02-24 04:49:30 +0000 UTCNot super into the has-music version too, kinda just prefer the conversation without music, maybe its just because that's what I'm used to from almost every other podcast I listen to though.

2021-02-23 22:49:39 +0000 UTCwe know it's not for everyone! but we figured if we were going to try it, this laid back episode was the one to do it in.

2021-02-22 15:27:39 +0000 UTCThank you for the music-less version :^) greatly appreciated. Maybe it’s my autism, but I find it so hard to focus on the voices and not feel overwhelmed by the ambiance.
