Episode 98: “So, that’s cannibalism.”
Desperate times call for desperate measures...That’s the theme that seems to run throughout this episode as C+D discuss all kinds of taboo topics, from cannibalism to incest to murder. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, and more.
We would like to clarify that this episode was recorded prior to the insurrection that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Given this episode’s theme of “taboo topics,” we feel the need to reiterate that we stand with the Black members of our community and our nation and hope the “Currently Obsessed” podcast can continue to be a light, breaking up the stress of life with a laugh or two. If you would like to hear our statement regarding the Black Lives Matter movement and related topics, we recommend listening to Episode 67: “We are on the brink of change.”
