  • April Fool's Special: The Ladies Take The Man Fandom Quiz! [feat. Alexa, Lyndsey, & Rachel]
    Apr 1 2025

    As the conceit of this show is basically "watch these men flounder in a fandom usually reserved for women", we thought for an April Fool's special we'd flip the script! So Nirav has put together a "Are You a Real Man?" quiz for the ladies consisting of questions that cover fandoms, subcultures, and general spaces that women aren't usually welcome (mostly due to toxic dude bros). We had a blast and we hope you do too!

    Thanks to the Second Time Around Discord server for workshopping ideas with me! Regular episodes resume April 11!

    Thank you to Parachutes for our theme song, Red Queen!
