@meganbrennan.bsky.social @careydraws.bsky.social I'm listening to MorphClub again, and it's wonderful. It was one of the first pods I ever listened to, and it's still one of the best! Great dynamic, great insights, and it's just a good time. It kept me sane in '17, and it's keeping me sane now. <3!
