To celebrate reaching our 9th episode, Black Dahlia Parton starts the show with a toked out cover of Hole’s “Doll Parts” on the ukulele.

Featuring Special Guest Amy Dentata!
(Content Warning: References to transphobia, childhood abuse)
The Girls discuss obscure fears, music in video games, HBO free trials, and exploring the anxieties of public restroom use with kazoos.
I’m on this week’s episode of Are There Girls on This Server, a podcast by and for gamer girls that covers a lot of different subjects. Listen to me nurse a cold! Find out who poked Jesus, why Red Dead Redemption has such good music, what’s wrong with Skyrim, trans bathroom troubles, and more!

That is some legit feedback.
I’m considering switching to headset mics for everyone, at least until I find a system to delouse myself of cooties so people aren’t so shy about sitting next to me.

Our original guest, an illustrator/glassblower/reproductive rights activist who I was really excited to have on, no-showed. I found a substitute guest at the last minute, but the combination of “funny host” and “comedian…
