Vocal HERspective: Hosts’ Check In (This Sucks)

Vocal HERspective is back this week with a…slightly different kind of episode. For the first time since Episode 1, it’s just the hosts and, while it’s officially named the “Hosts’ Check-in,” we probably could have just called it “This Sucks.” Tune in for this very unfiltered conversation about the state of the universe according to Amanda and Rachael.

It’s not all doom and gloom – this episode also includes a look back at some of the episodes that have made the biggest impressions – ones you’ll want to go back and listen to.
Oh, and no animals were harmed in the making of this episode, but Moo and Gryffindor surely do sum up how we’re feeling so they take center stage on the graphic!
