Description
Christine Riccio & Natasha Polis are chatting all things nerdy pop culture and how fandom factors into adult life. What does being a Twihard look like post the angsty teen years? What books, tv, and movies are we all obsessing over now? How does fandom infiltrate our love lives? They’re covering all that sh*t and more in their podcast Those Forking Fangirls! New episodes every Friday! If their names sound familiar, you might have seen them over the years on YouTube as PolandbananasBooks and Tashapolis! Christine is now an author, and Natasha runs a talent agency.
