About this listen

 Mandatory Media is supposedly about all the media you should have studied, but is actually just an excuse for its three hosts to talk about the media they love. Join hosts David (a pop culture lover), Seth (a theatre kid), and Bret (a scholar and poet) every two weeks as they take you through a variety of topics and conversations that range from Keats to Studio Ghibli, and even a video game about Frogs.Three Glasses Productions Art
